The Diary Of A Healing Heart

Last night I colored my hair, well my homegirl did. I probably annoyed the hell outta her the entire process because it’s so symbolic for me. The Disney movie “Turning Red” is behind my hair color. I gotta stop letting Disney do this. I already have “Hakuna Matata” tattooed in Swahili on my wrist due…

Yesterday I found out wasn’t just me. I talked to my colleagues and they were wore out, my sistars, they were wore out. Even my puppy was acting tired. It’s was just draining. The weather ain’t help at all. Started out gloomy as ever, began to hail and eventually turned into snow. Talk about keeping…

I’m irritated. I didn’t post on time and it’s NOT Sunday. I’m tired, this week has been LONG!! My kids are being kids. My agents being agents. People being people. Life is lifing. I don’t wanna talk. I’m feeling mean so I will just be quiet.

Lil Kim said “And I don’t think I’m ever gone drink no more, Back at the bar like…..Fuck it, bartender you can give me one more” Ha! She knows what she was talking about there. I know I say it every-time I’m hung over up drinking pickle juice to make it better, yet there is…

I did something that could be considered wild, foolish, naive or maybe even goofy. It was because I wanted to. I didn’t consult Spirit, didn’t call nobody, research nothing I just did it because I wanted instant gratification. Some may say when we become adults and grow older we should grow wiser and make well…

Iron sharpens iron is a mantra I live by. In my professional life often you will hear “as Raqi says iron sharpens iron” as they share best practices with their colleagues. It’s literally what has made me great at my job at every level. I’m not college educated. I’m well surrounded. I glean from those…

Nah not enough, standing strong in boundaries and holding people around you accountable can mean you end up “losing”. We talk boundaries and enforcement, but do we talk about how it can hurt the enforcer? Holding my kids accountable sometimes feels like punishment for me. I can’t go to the arcade because they acted up,…
