Pressing Pause on Expanding our Family
In September, Dom and I decided to start the fertility process again to grow our beautiful family. Many of you know we conceived Donovan in January 2020 through IUI. While the process was challenging, we’ve learned a lot and felt ready to take this next step. Last month, I had a procedure called a hysterosalpingogram…

My Hair Crisis & Growth
2024 has been nothing short of a hair journey for me. Normally, I’ve got my hairstyles planned out for the whole year because, let’s be real, as a Black woman, you have to plan your hair in advance.

Do you know your love language? I’ve come across various discussions about individuals and couples discovering their love languages to enhance their relationships.

Despite having weekly date…

Trusting the Journey
Trusting in the journey of life has been a transformative lesson for me, especially as someone who used to be consumed by worry. If you know me, you know I’m a bit of a worry bug. I used to plan backups for backups, fearing that things might fall through if I didn’t control every aspect.…

Legacy Building
These recent weeks have felt rather laid-back. It’s as if I’ve been neglecting my reading and other hobbies, opting instead to simply relax. Why? Because I’ve come to understand that the journey towards happiness and positivity is more like a marathon than a sprint. I’m not claiming that things have suddenly transformed for me overnight;…
