Dear Privileged Mom, Stop trying to be my voice. Stop trying to shame or discipline the other privileged moms on my behalf. I appreciate your heart so much. I know you speak up because you care. But it’s not necessary. In fact, I believe you may be hurting more than you are helping. You are trying to protect my heart, but your efforts only tempt me to question my own happiness and contentment. I may not have all the material...

The Iced Golden Milk Latte. It’s all the rage, but it’s all the rage because it’s glorious. If you had asked me 5 years ago if I would be looking forward to a drink composed mostly of coconut milk and turmeric and a bunch of other spices, I would have said, “Uh yeah right. No thanks. Pass me the Mountain Dew.” But praise be to the good Lord above, we evolve and change as we grow older. We take chances...

Hair pomade. Yeah…it’s not always harmless. Thankfully, a lot of companies are being held accountable for their toxic products, and more and more of them are turning to all-natural ingredients. Buuuuuut…there are still SO many out there putting out some toxic-filled products for you to buy off a shelf that is authorized by the FDA. Propylparaben, Fragrance, Lilial, Lyrol, and Benzyl Salicylate. These are just a few of the toxic ingredients found in many hair products today. Several of these...

Listen to “Are Your Beliefs Worth Defending_ – 2_25_19, 10.48 AM” on Spreaker. We all have a philosophy or belief system that inform our decision-making, but do we have beliefs that we can actually and logically defend? Most of us hodge-podge together a series of beliefs and don’t even consider whether they are compatible or not. Meaning the logic we use to create or affirm our beliefs sometimes are logically flawed and any conclusions we make from those beliefs is...

Fawkes Wakes Scrubbed Away, Ungodly layer, after ungodly layer Stripped to almost nothing but a name Riddled with shame so vile, I shall not be named, And I almost deserve it (Do not fret, new ones are assigned It is part of the process) De-scaled and motionless I lay He comes and licks my wounds into scars, Mementos of pain bring outrageous courage in war This hideousness too shall pass I end and begin at...

Listen to “Election Eve 2018 (Midterm)” on Spreaker. On Election Eve 2018 we have two very special Political Pundits: Lex Mullins and Eliana Mullins. My 8 year-old twins weigh in on the House of Representatives Race in Kentucky. Then we look at the twins favorite American Revoluntary Figures. After they run off to bed we look at our motivations for voting for tomorrow. There is a need to stop demonizing our opponents and see them as people we disagree with...

Listen to “Are You Toxic to Yourself?” on Spreaker. It’s FRIDAY!! We end this week on an encouraging challenge. Are your thoughts and perceptions of yourself toxic to you being successful in achieving all your dreams and passions? If we let others tell us who we are or what we can do (in the negative) because of where we came from or how we look, then we will begin to believe it and affirm it in ourselves. There is another...
