I’ve had a startling epiphany. Last night, I was in a meeting which was supposed to last at the most one hour. It lasted three. At about two hours into the meeting, I shut down. Emotionally. I couldn’t allow myself to indulge the rage and indignation I felt rising, swelling within me. Sure, I managed to engage conceptually for the remainder of the meeting, but the longer it elapsed, the less I presented and the more I retracted into myself. Afterwards, as I retrospectively sifted ...

What’s on my Shelf: Malediction Trilogy and ACOTAR Series
I realise this a bit of a change from the bi-monthly reviews I write. However, between tweaking my new website and reading new material, I realised I neglected to write a few reviews in addition to needing to write my bi-monthly update.

The Megaphone of Pain
A few weeks ago, I wrote about being more confident, about my journey of learning to stand up for myself; of removing my masks to be wholly accepted as who I am, not what others perceive me to be.

You’re growing confident now? Let’s see about that.” And BAM! The crap hit the proverbial fan. I experienced extreme ...

Jumping right in, I’m not quite sure where to begin. I’ve been in the middle of chaos for over a month now. May and June are always terribly busy for me. Too many birthdays and occasions. This year I even had two nieces and one nephew graduate from their perspective schools. Oy! Unfortunately, this has left little room in my brain for musings with the maelstrom I’ve been foolishly, aimlessly dog-paddling in for weeks now. Now, none of this is all bad, mind you. In fact, I think it all to be ...
Slowing Down
I find myself needing to slow down. There was a song Emmy Rossum released years ago. I feel the embodiment of those sentiments. “Moving so fast, I’m forgetting my purpose…” Do you ever feel like that? Like you get so caught up in the daily blur of distractions, this business of Life, you forget why you’re even doing what you doing? You forget yourself and slowly succumb to the madness of survival? For me, usually such feelings manifest whenever I have an idea, and I pursue it to ...
