Sometimes I Want to Know

This is one of my favorite things to do while traveling. I love the details – to know the where, the when, and how fast. Why do I want this information? I’m not too sure, but I love having it. Don’t you wish life offered this channel as an option. If you’re like me, thereContinue reading “Sometimes I Want to Know”

I’m Trying

I’ve been on a mini staycation for the last view days. Unwinding, recalibrating and relaxing- by myself. I took this picture as a reminder of the imperfect me; the one I’m working on. At home I noticed this behavior: I have a habit of leaving cabinet and cupboard doors opened. They don’t stay open forContinue reading “I’m Trying”

Coming Up Empty

It’s mid-week and mid-year. I sense mental fatigue and it’s time to rest, replenish, and restore. These are the moments when writing can become difficult. We reach deep, come up empty and flirt with the temptation to quit. Life’s like that. When we come face to face with our limitations, fighting is sometimes the lastContinue reading “Coming Up Empty”

He Loves

Another ‘Lovuary’ post – honoring the men who have loved us just because. Loved us in spite of. Loved us without expectations. There is the age-old debate that a man [apart from family] and a woman cannot be friends. I beg to differ. First let me pay homage to daddies, papas, grandpas, uncles, brothers, cousins,Continue reading “He Loves”
