New Date Alert! 1st Lit Squad Meeting – Feb. 10

Chronicles of a Half-domestic Diva, Vol. 1
My number one promise for 2017 is to be kind to myself and that includes is my role of being a half-domestic diva. Unlike the main character in Sophie Kinsella’s “Undomestic Diva” (if you’ve ever read this super hilarious book, you’ll know what I mean), I actually know how to do a few things. I’m […]
2017, Please Be Kind…
2017, please be kind…but most importantly, I need to be kind to myself. 2016 was a strange year. It was one in which no matter how hard I worked, I couldn’t grasp any momentum. Most of the time I thought I was running through an open door of opportunity, there was a brick wall right […]

Nobody’s built like me. And for much of this year, I forgot that. I spent too much of this year comparing and getting upset when doors didn’t open.

Every Season Isn’t a Winning One
I don’t have any great news to share. There’s no new job, baby, or beau. I have no exciting opportunity that I’m just burning to announce. I haven’t been to any cool events, and I haven’t been on vacation in over a year. In essence, I feel like I’m lacking. I’ve been working hard, though […]

The Last Time I Saw My Love
“Is that your friend in there?” an older doctor with thick glasses asked as my friends and I were leaving my boyfriend’s hospital room. “I hate to tell you this, but it would take a miracle to get him out of here.” That doctor did not know me. He did not know how much I […]
