Check your demons at the door

A return to love is a return to the divine.
In this space we celebrate love, culture and community in every form. I invite you to bear witness and join me on my journey home.

Journal Prompt of the Week: What seeds are you hoping to plant in yourself this spring?

  • Said on Sunday

    Every Sunday I’m reminded of my past in Christianity. Like an unexplained noise in the darkness it haunts me and my time line of Facebook. I do not count these people as friends. They are the dirty secret I’d like to forget; I was one of them. This is not a blast on religion, this…

  • Art and Artist Meet

    I’ve been longing for the day that I would be not only courageous enough but confident enough to get my first tattoo. I come from a very old school family back ground where it isn’t condemned but it is frowned upon; even still I decided a while ago that there were representations of my self…

  • On trying to organize my writing…

    I would describe myself as a journal addict; a book waiting to happen in perpetually. I’ve never had an issue articulating my thoughts or having thoughts that needed to be put down on paper but I’ve always had an issue keeping it all together. I’ve been writing a book for sometime but because I am…

  • Why i’m finally mad at Chris Brown

    When the initial scandalous incident occurred in 2009, while it was brutal and reported from the perspective of persecuting a ‘woman beater’ I was eerily not as affected as I normally am by male/female violence issues. I acknowledged that he did use excessive force but I also acknowledged that I didn’t know everything. As someone…

  • Writing love songs

    On this cold, faux spring night as I’m reading, planning my Study Abroad trip and working out the kinks in my day to day schedule, I’m forced to stop and pay homage to the one constant thing that has been in my life during my more cognitive years; the relationship that I share with A.…

  • On Writing

    I’ve often wondered why I write or continue to attempt to write a blog; I know that I’ve always felt alone and I’ve always had this impossible feeling that there was someone else who, for what its worth would understand. Not everything but maybe one thing or relate to it in a way that I…

  • Changes

    I guess I horribly failed at the Post a Day challenge. I barely got in a week of posting before that completely stopped. Life and lack of time definitely caught up to me. While I will try to post more, I will not delude myself into thinking that I have enough time to do so…

  • Dinner and Drinks

    Tonight, after work, I met up with my cousin S to have dinner. She’s one of my favorite people in the world and I can’t say that I wasn’t completely frustrated with my day for not going by quickly enough. She’s away at college and I’m here in Brooklyn so, our lives intersect like a…

  • Christina Aguilera – Hurt

    One of my favs that I only listen to in very particular moods.   Lyrics: Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face You told me how proud you were, but I walked away If only I knew what I know today, ooh, ooh I would hold you in my arms, I would take the pain…

  • More Snow

    I’m not exactly elated at the prospect of 10 to 14 inches of snow as there are still remnants of the almost three feet we got weeks ago still piled onto the streets, I just hope that maybe it will be more efficiently handled as its not supposed to be as much. With that complaint…

  • Mono!

    I don’t think I had the chance to introduce my little monster Mono! He looks like an awesome super hero. Mono – like the prefix for ‘one’ not Mono like Mononucleosis. Why would any one think I’d name my cat after a contagious disease is beyond me. He’s a rescue. He was found abandoned my…

  • Cherry Lips (Go Baby) – Garbage

    Oldie but a goodie. Cherry Lips (Go Baby) – Garbage Official Video

  • Hopes, dreams and dirty snow

    Attempting to post more by taking on the Post a day challenge, I know I will miss days but that allows me to have more structure and write about things may not have thought would be important enough or blog worthy. — What are you looking forward to this year? I’m looking forward to being…

  • Flakes of Love

    I see our love like I see the snow. I anticipate the first sign of it and wear it on me like an ornament, proud that I have captured it for all to see.  Small, each flake has a bigger purpose and plan…to cover as much as possible. Slow, steady, hazy and always amazing when…
