Keep Going.

Still a little inconsistent, and that’s okay. What’s important is that I’m sticking to it. Being active that is. In the short time I’ve been going, I’ve learned that I actually enjoy the gym. It offers a lot of the motivation I struggle to feel throughout the week. I didn’t go this morning, BUT I

Finding My Way Back.

I’ve been feeling a lot of things, and all at once. And truthfully, it’s been extremely overwhelming. On my good days, I’m feeling calm and a little happy. Very light, nothing weighing down on me. And then the bad days are everything I don’t want or need. Grief, stress, frustration, betrayal, among a lot of

It’s been a while. I haven’t listened to much music lately. Perhaps that’s why I haven’t been so inspired. Anyhoo, here’s another quick but GOOD playlist to vibe to while working on your masterpieces. Enjoy!

Songs To Write To (Holiday Edition)

I have to admit that these past few years, the holidays have not been my favorite times of the year and it’s been a bit hard to get festive in any fashion. Typically around this time, I write a Christmas story or novel of some sort, and I haven’t done that for at least three

Hey, how’s it going? Have you been enjoying the few posts from this week? I hope so. While trying to refocus on my writing, and push myself out of my latest round of fear (of failure), I’ve been thinking that I need to get back to what helps and most often inspires me the most.

They say that you should always show love to and/or support those who do the same for you. Well, there’s been quite a few people in my corner; but none who have pushed me as much and as tough (lovingly) as my little brother from another mother, Jalen. Over the years he’s been consistent in
