My Creative Mind Yearns to Stimulate One’s Mental.

Before my career began, I fostered my creative writing through poetry, love notes, and letters. Soon after, I transitioned to journaling and doing freelance work for a few media outlets.

The coolest part of my journey is how much I’ve changed. I document my evolution as I go, and looking back, I’m a completely different person every time I hit ‘publish’ on a blog post. Seriously—if you knew me back then, you definitely don’t know me now! It’s been a crazy, beautiful ride.

Life, love, and lust coexist in this space. Sometimes lust takes precedence; other times love rears her indecisive head. Life carries a weight of her own. She is the foundation for all things creative. – B.

  • Why Premarital Counseling May Not Be a Good Idea If You Are Under 30
    I was driving to the gym this morning, wondering if my love for my partner is idealistic or real. Don’t judge. I often perform deep analysis on life subjects from time to time. In this instance, I wanted to understand whether what I am feeling is real or whether I am romanticizing something. And during… Read more: Why Premarital Counseling May Not Be a Good Idea If You Are Under 30
  • One of Those Days
    Today was one of those days. It started off great, with my partner leaving me warm kisses before heading off for the day. But somewhere along the way, it turned into high stress and that weird kind of loneliness that can creep in even when you know you’re not actually alone. First, it’s the end… Read more: One of Those Days
  • He Thought I Left Him Too
    When I left my marriage, I thought I knew exactly what I was protecting. I was protecting my peace. I was protecting my dignity. I was protecting the version of motherhood I wanted my child to witness. What I didn’t realize was that my son wasn’t watching the relationship. He was watching me. Two years… Read more: He Thought I Left Him Too
  • Daylight Saving Time Isn’t the Problem. Our Inflexibility Is.
    Twice a year, the U.S. has the same debate. Someone says Daylight Saving Time is outdated. Someone else says it’s necessary. Petitions get signed. Bills get introduced. People complain about losing an hour of sleep, and six months later we complain about gaining one back. But I can’t help wondering if we’re arguing over the… Read more: Daylight Saving Time Isn’t the Problem. Our Inflexibility Is.
  • Somewhere Between Mother and Daughter
    There are days when I feel like I’m living two lives at the same time. In one, I’m raising a teenager who’s learning what independence looks like. Every week seems to bring a new lesson about boundaries, responsibility, and letting him become his own person. The other day, he crossed a line in public. I… Read more: Somewhere Between Mother and Daughter
  • Not Every Ding Deserves Me
    When the rhythm of our outer world is disrupted—even by small things—our inner world feels it. A bird flutters to a nearby branch. An owl hoots in the distance. A car passes. A bike hums by. These are soft interruptions—simple reminders that life is always moving. But then there are the others. The pings. The… Read more: Not Every Ding Deserves Me
  • I Opened. She Closed.
    I believe spirit is shapeless. It moves beyond labels, beyond logic, beyond fear. Spirit flows through experience, through curiosity, through desire, through the ache of letting go. It doesn’t care for categories—it wants connection, truth, and growth. That’s why it didn’t feel strange at all when I found myself drawn to another woman. Story time:… Read more: I Opened. She Closed.
  • The Healthy Feminine Collective Rises
    It’s time for revolution. The emergence of healthy feminine energy during this transformative time signifies a profound shift in our collective consciousness. Nurturing spirits are stepping forward to heal the wounds inflicted by the toxic masculine paradigm. This wave of nurturing encourages growth, compassion, and unity among humanity. As we embrace this energy, it is… Read more: The Healthy Feminine Collective Rises
  • Self-Discovery & Reflection
    My last post was a bit heavy, but I thought it important to publish the things that often cause our consciousness to stretch. We stretch when we are challenged, not when things are rosy. So, let’s talk about this stretching and how I’ve changed. For starters, I’m much more aware of my thoughts and actions… Read more: Self-Discovery & Reflection
  • Navigating Loneliness and a Search for Deep Connection
    My heart aches in this moment. It’s taken me by surprise because nothing in my life is “wrong,” per se. Last week, I expended a lot of energy on situations that stirred my emotions. I ended up having a disagreement with my son, who is now at the age where he’s discovering himself. I reluctantly,… Read more: Navigating Loneliness and a Search for Deep Connection
  • Introspection on Spirituality
    For a while, my understanding of spirituality was shaped mainly by Islam and Christianity. Both traditions often felt like complicated mazes, full of twists and turns that left me feeling lost. The usual images of God didn’t resonate with me at all. But amidst this confusion, I discovered a connection to the idea of an… Read more: Introspection on Spirituality
  • Embracing Self-Worth: My Journey from Toxic Relationships to Clarity
    If you’ve followed my journey, you know that love has been a significant part of my life. I’m lucky to attract men and experience love, but it also brings heartache, challenges, and stress. If not managed, these can lead to feeling isolated or bitter. I try to assess and regroup before it gets to that… Read more: Embracing Self-Worth: My Journey from Toxic Relationships to Clarity
  • Breaking the Cycle: Raising a Son with Compassion and Strength Amidst Toxic Masculinity
    Raising my son to not take on his father’s toxic traits is exhausting, especially when trying to balance a healthy feminine energy. For those unaware, toxic masculine traits are aggression, emotional suppression, and dominance. Toxic feminine traits are excessive self-sacrifice, overdependence on others, and prioritizing appearance over personal agency. This blog is not to bash… Read more: Breaking the Cycle: Raising a Son with Compassion and Strength Amidst Toxic Masculinity
  • The Tenant From Hell
    I have an unreasonable and unique tenant whose angelic façade has diminished significantly. Rather, she’s now known to me as the low vibrational thirty-something-year-old entitled tenant from hell. First, let me say that I’m not bitter, and I’ve processed my anger. I actually like her as a person though I do not approve of her… Read more: The Tenant From Hell
  • Subtle Shifts
    For nearly a year, I’ve been on a profound journey of self-exploration and inner transformation. I have been increasingly drawn to reconnect with my higher self and delve into the depths of my being. It hasn’t always been an easy path, but it has been undeniably fulfilling and enlightening. During this time, I have come… Read more: Subtle Shifts
  • Word of the Morning
    In the rich tapestry of life, there are many things we cannot see but are still real. Every action leads to a reaction, and every thought has a reason behind it. This is the delicate dance of life’s many layers. In this cosmic dance, it’s important to pay attention to our thoughts and actions, as… Read more: Word of the Morning

    Attuning to the vibrations of the infinite source will lead you on a path to discovery. You will discover that you are more powerful than the world acknowledges and your job cares to admit.

  • The Switch Up
    No one is really sure why we fall in love, but there is strong evidence to suggest that falling and staying in love has health benefits. In many studies, those who consider their life partner as a best friend live longer, happier lives. I’m at a point in my life where I am searching for… Read more: The Switch Up
  • Who is B. Now?
    I started therapy nearly two months ago. It is the first consistent “work on self” that I have done since 2009. Quite frankly, I am super excited to to discover the woman I have become. I feel more vibrant, more fierce, and more conscious of self. My therapist confirmed that I am a soul who… Read more: Who is B. Now?
  • The End of The Road.
    In mid-2019, a purpose driven woman met and fell in love with a very good man. I wrote about him here. This man doesn’t need her for anything, he’s honest, he’s real, he’s damn near perfect. He strokes her alpha characteristics, because she needs to feel as if she’s in control always. Yet, he delicately… Read more: The End of The Road.
  • Is Cheating the Byproduct of a Lack of Communication?
    What are your thoughts and emotions around the quote: If you found your “person” hold them close because there are people in the world stealing spouses. – Bishop Greg Davis That quote led to an in-depth discussion with my partner. I asked for his thoughts. His response, “no one can be stolen if they don’t… Read more: Is Cheating the Byproduct of a Lack of Communication?
  • Spiritual Awakening
    I use to believe everyone was born with something special inside of them – a sort of knowing. I believed everyone understood their purpose, knew their assignment, and was happy to execute. Only recently have I learned that it’s quite possible not everyone has the instinct to tap into their higher power. The supernatural always… Read more: Spiritual Awakening
  • Y’all Paying Attention?
    Human behavior has always been a mystery to me. I never understood how some people need to be in the company of others. I never understood how so many people can rally behind an idea or person to their demise. I can use this analogy as it relates to religion. I can use this analogy… Read more: Y’all Paying Attention?
  • How Society Misses Out When You Are Complacent
    Did you know that society misses out on all of your greatness when you are complacent? Complacency breeds ignorance and nothing valuable can ever flourish in an ignorant environment. I often look at the lives of people who had the time to binge on videos (television, IG, Facebook, or otherwise). I compared that to their… Read more: How Society Misses Out When You Are Complacent
  • Unapologetically You.
    Friends, Today, I encourage you to finally step into the life you have envisioned. Realize this; as you inch closer to who you need to become, family and friends will criticize your efforts. Don’t fret. It’s natural for them to question the stranger emerging before them. You were not born to fulfill the desires of… Read more: Unapologetically You.
  • Why I am hesitant to claim my Native American heritage
    My mother was raised by her mother. My maternal grandmother identified herself as African American and there was no more said about it. Mom only knew of a handful of relatives on her mother’s side of the family. All of them lighter skinned. Despite not knowing her father, my mother always checked the African American… Read more: Why I am hesitant to claim my Native American heritage

Most beautiful, she is unapologetic about who she is.” Naturally, I had to see what the fuss was about and how… Read more: She’s Gotta Have It, So Do I
  • Hidden Faces
    This morning, I watched On the Downlow, a YouTube docuseries by Abigail Child. The series highlights stories from men (under age 40) who provide first-hand accounts of how they manage their secret relationships with men in public-facing arenas. As a straight woman, the program was both educational and alarming. Here’s why…
  • Whop, Whop, Whop and Whop!
    The day started off great. I left the office early because I’d been up since 2:30a.m. My plan was to come home and binge on The Office – Season 7 before taking a nap. That’s exactly what I did. Except, on my way home, I stopped at a vape shop and bought a vape kit. After… Read more: Whop, Whop, Whop and Whop!

    I have a dilemma. I fell in love – again. It’s complicated, more complicated than I care to admit. But keep reading, I’ll share in a bit. Darius held the door for me one day.

  • The Dangerous Libra
    She slumps on the couch, feeling the effects of the pain medication she just prescribed herself. Her pain won’t be eased any more or any less from the pills, but she knows that it will force her to escape for a while. Curiosity was heavy when they met. She grabbed his attention; he captured her… Read more: The Dangerous Libra
  • What Are We?
    Since our bodies are like planets, I wonder if we are part of God’s planet. What if Earth is a cell of God and we are microorganisms living within that cell?
  • I Am A Writer
    I was born with a pen in my right hand and a notepad in the other! See, I’m naked without my pen; white space is my playground. The stroke of the keyboard tickles my soul. I didn’t decide to become a writer; I was born with this gift.
  • Suck It, Disney!
    I’ve been stripped of my identity once, shame on me. Try to take it again, well…shame on you. My obituary will read “Writer. Mother. Lover.” In that order. My legacy goes well beyond what society or Disney had cooked up. Read the full story…

    I’d like to say that this is the end of my Calamity but I hope for a better ending; so, I won’t say goodbye, rather see you later…in Part III
  • Calamity Part I
    As one guy dangled between my legs for the thrill of the ride, another stood beside me as I dropped him off at the next stop, but my best friend…he held on tight. As a matter of fact he steered our platform to a world so fierce that only he and I could survive.
  • Coverless Book
    Yesterday morning I noticed a homeless guy sitting on a bench. His duffel bag was cocked over the side of the arm rest and his head nearly fell in his lap as he slept his way through the passersby and loud engines. In today’s paper I read that a homeless man was found dead in the same area. When I walked by this morning, a young flirty couple replaced the old man on the bench.
  • Girl in the Mirror
    Undressing her in his mind is perfectly okay. It’s the actual part of undressing that makes her uncomfortable.
  • Momma’s Touch
    Fat girls need love too – at least that’s what momma told me once.
  • My Final Ode to Him
    I’m not sure why I still write about him. Maybe it’s because he is and forever will be the guy that I wanted but never had. We’ve lived parallel lives up until this point. Both got married, and divorced; loved and let love. But none of those things seemed to really matter without each other.
  • The Divorcee
    Don’t ask me how, but it was something about the way the sheets covered him that brought back painful memories. In an instant the sweet feelings of admiration are gone and vengeance rushes to the surface. The thought of him lying in my bed sickened me and irritation played on the thoughts of him still not having a job, a car, or a place to call his own. The same feelings of “I’m picking up the pieces” triggered a deep feeling of distaste.

    This is another story created solely for the enjoyment for those who like to daydream. Macy’s should not investigate any male employees as a result of this blog.

    Man, I’ve missed the keyboard tremendously. I’ve been caught in a technical twister that has captured my creativity. Who knows the last time I saw it. It may have been when I wrote my last piece, Calamity. That’s the last time I remember connecting with white space in ways that only an innate writer can… Read more: I Miss The Keys
  • A Chain Smoker?
    I’m looking out of the window for a quick daydream getaway. But my travel is interrupted by a guy who sits in my line of sight and begins fiddling with a cigarette. He appears to be around 16, so I’m curious to watch his next move. 
  • Misconception
    My insecurities started when mom met George. Soon after they started dating, mom introduced George to my twin sister, Sabrina, and me. It didn’t take long for George to throw cheap compliments to my sister about her beauty. He encouraged mom to enter Sabrina in beauty pageants for more money, but mom never budged. She didn’t want to give me a complex; but it was too late, George already planted the seed.

    As I walked toward the office door a part of me wanted to turn around and beg him to choose. But my pride reminded me that he’d already made his choice. Ladies, never listen to a married man that says he’ll leave his wife.
  • The Wise Woman
    A wise woman once told me that I should pay attention to a man’s actions more than his words. She said that a man does what he feels and speaks what he does not. I didn’t believe this was true. So the words of the wise woman fell heavily on deaf ears.   Time and… Read more: The Wise Woman

    Treatment doesn’t help those labeled “insane” – no matter what they have you to believe. The idea of being drugged and sleeping most of your life away is no way for a man to live. He might as well be among the walking dead.
  • Bittersweet Affair
    It started off simple, but quickly became complex. Although my heart wanted more, I had to refrain from overindulgence. A young man who would come in to my life and turn me upside down. Have me think left when I want to go right. Such a complex feeling; such a bittersweet affair.

    Seeing him dance drives me crazy! On the inside I’m glowing, and in the back of my mind, I’m hoping that for a small moment later on, Dream Catcher smiles at the thought of me too.

    Seems like good fortune has found me. I don’t know where I was hiding all of this time, but for some reason the game of hide and seek is over between me and this good fortune character.

  • Marriage v. Contracts
    The rapid increase of divorce in American society has me baffled. In a small way, I shake my head in shame that so many people played with the idea of marriage. On the other hand, I think that the traditional vow is out of date, and needs reconsidering. Who came up with those vows anyway? And I question why I chose to follow them. Was I really willing to stick with someone through better or worst, even if the worst stripped me of my pride? Was I really willing to stick with someone until death parted us, even if we fell out of touch? There were too many things that I had not considered realistically. And I see now that I conformed to someone‟s ideal of the way that things should be, rather than what fit my life. Read full story…
