I have to admit I’m glad that I was damaged in the past. In some ways maybe parts of me are still damaged. When you’ve been damaged and hit rock bottom you have a humbling experience that will change your mindset and path in life. Every day bullshit doesn’t affect you the same way that … More Damaged People
Enough with keeping up with the Jones’s or the Kardashian’s. I’m trying to keep up with me, myself and I.

I challenge you to remain classy when someone makes … More Where Are My Big Girl Panties?
I can’t throw things away. It’s a problem I have and I need an intervention. I need someone to throw things away while I watch them. Maybe I shouldn’t be home when the entire process is taking place.
