September Self-Love Letter
September 1, 2026 Radical Acceptance. Internal Locus of Control. They’re both just concepts. Words. But because I choose to give them power, they help me. And in the end isn’t that all life comes down to, choice?So I choose to radically accept what I cannot control and apply my locus of control internally. I only…

Here Comes the Rain Again…
Greetings lurkers and lurkettes (kidding!) When I blog, sometimes the topic comes to me during the week or every now and then I use one I’ve jotted down. And most times, the day comes and it becomes something else. Today: we’re freestyling. We’ve lost a lot of good people this week. It almost feels like…

Dial Q for Quitting
V for Vendetta was a mid movie (to me!) but it did help me settle a debate: I’m quitting my job. I no longer feel the need to be held hostage by a job holding the sword of my paycheck over my head. During this time away from work – which has involved advocating for…

Chaos Theory
Jeff Goldblum, you’ve done it again. Boy did I get a lesson in unpredictability today… Apparently, I got a flat at AMC yesterday. A flat for watching a mid movie. A flat which I had no spare for – come to find out when help arrived and there was no spare. *screams into a pillow*…

🎶 Always Coca-Cola 🎶
Few things in my life have been as steady as Coke. To be honest, I don’t think there has been anything else… Coke always tastes the same. Good day. Bad day. Coke hasn’t let me down. Of course, I try to drink from a can almost exclusively when I can help it, but for the…

Let me tell you…
I am on a journey. This really has been a journey. They are first-world problems I suppose, but man has it been challenging. Yes, I’m talking about my mental health break/FMLA from work. I’m still standing outside of myself in awe because I asked for this. No, claimed it. As I struggle here – because…

Tell Me Four!
I was tagged by the amazing Lola Mae for this at the start of June. Tell Me Four! Oh boy, I don’t know how to do this but it reminds me of email forwards, so I’ll treat it as such. Four Names You Go By My real name: Nope 🙂 Vanessa: Well duh. I love…
