Thank You, Captain Obvious
*sigh* It was an…interesting weekend. I always find myself on Sunday night, staring at a blank computer screen wondering, “Okay, God. What the H am I supposed to write.” Tonight…I know exactly what I’m supposed to say. Back at the beginning of this month, I published the post, Honesty Hour. And first of all, I […]

*What I Learned From Losing My Hair
I had a haircut today. And sitting in that chair, as my hair dresser exclaims, “You’ve got so much hair!” I remember the long journey that has brought me here.

April Showers
Well here we are. April. We’ve officially made it through the doldrums of winter and are on the brink of spring. April in NYC is the rainy season. I mean, it is nothing glamorous. Gray, overcast and drizzly skies; murky puddles of sludge, and temperatures that can range from 70 degrees one day, to 35 the next. […]

Dear Beyoncé,
So Beyonce did a thing. Yes, The Queen Bey unexpectedly dropped a video on us a couple days ago. But no, not for a song. Or a movie, or a music video. It was for an “athleisure” clothing line. Because, as you know, everybody and their brother is creating one. And, in true Beyonce fashion, she […]
