Know yOUR power. Use yOUR voice.
Unity is the core of this think piece I wrote in August of last year, inspired by responses to the Mike Brown murder. That post is a vague break-down of my view of life on this planet and how it is all connected. I believe that our natural flow has gone off course, for whatever reason. At that time, I wondered why anyone felt the need to justify an armed, fully adult man trained and paid to protect civilians murdering a teenaged male in the middle of the street, with multiple bullets. I wonder why even a trained police dog’s rights for justice are acknowledged, but not a young black…

To the (Young) Women and the Lovers
This month has been amazing, thus far! I’m inspired both with my upcoming raw food exploration and just by the people I’ve been coming across in life daily. Isn’t that the best? Music continues to grow new roots and I’m excited to challenge myself and see what I can really do with it. It’s now manifesting itself in even more corners of my reality, like at work (I just started in an office and discovered there’s actually a studio in the back! haha Awesome, right?). I decided to let go of all of the negative figures in my life as well. I have leaned towards excuses to keep those causing…

Words from my heart as translated by my souL
What a life! I’ve been thinking about updating every day, but my reality just took a few spins over the past month. I’ve been taking everything in and deciding how to work with all I’ve been given. 2014 is really an exciting year already! I felt that now is the perfect time to do some spilling into this digital universe I have here. While things are looking unexpectedly amazing in my work life, my love life blows. I admit to being fresh out of the pan with this post! Days like these, when it’s pouring rain and there’s nothing to do but hang inside with my family and friends, recording…

My Impression of Self-Expression
There exists a little pattern that I’ve payed special attention to lately. I did not adopt a New Years Resolution until I was asked about it during a party at my cousin’s house this past New Years Eve. I instantly decided to use what had been happening in my life as the answer and I’ve already gathered something from it over the course of this month. Each year brings something significant across my path that forces me to open myself up a bit more, thus growing bit by bit. There is always a new challenge, a new phase of growth I find myself stepping into. This idea brings me to…

Bearing The Barness (revisted)
Question whether it’s possible to feel the same when our reality is change My emotions are the same, but not the name We give U S when explaining ourselves to any one else but us Not a couple, just a couple of hearts spending time apart Then reuniting to play in the dark Where we met. Two strangers when we first crossed each other Wild heart, old girl who pondered and observed her own worlds Never could imagine being comfortable enough in this skin to share myself with another And then you, of course y o u gave me this thrill that no other could ever instill Perhaps they never…

From Me to Me, for you
Tonight I thought to go through some of my phone notes from this year to find a few lines that fit with a theme I am focused on as of late. I ended up reading through all of the memos and realized a lot of the random lines/reminders I type into there are, um, golden as hell! I wanted to keep these private until they are complete, but why wait, really?. Don’t look into my eyes Look out through ’em and I’ll show you what it’s like to be a woman Reality is heavy. Every moment’s a memory in an instant. What’s life, what’s light for you? Like seeing a…

Ah! Last week was rather rough on me, emotionally anyway. Besides the quiet moments to myself, which would translate to a cloud of images and words that felt like a haunting on my brain and a literal lash to my chest, I actually had a lot of fun. I feel as if I’m reconnecting with those who reciprocate the energy that I give. It’s beautiful and too rare! There’s nothing sweeter than to be reminded that you are adored while you feel…rejected. I lose sight of this too often in my tendency to drift off into my loneliness. We are all alone in our unique experiences, but so is everyone!…
