I was on my knees praying for the pain to go away and praying for Jesus to show me how I could serve Him. Working my way out of a quarter-life crisis and menstrual cramps that didn’t care about my feelings, I wanted to tough it out, but it became more complex as the yearsContinue reading “A Plan birthed from Prayer and Pain: Project OverFlo”

ONE YEAR BOOK ANNIVERSARY!
It’s official, everyone! My book, “Jesus, Adulting, People in Poetry,” has been around a whole year! I published the electronic copy first, then the paperback. There’s no hardcover at this time because Amazon won’t let me be great. I might consider an audio version at some point. Gratitude is overwhelming me because of all theContinue reading “ONE YEAR BOOK ANNIVERSARY!”
Blue Plate Diner Review
“Thou Shalt Not Worship Golden Arches” We snickered at the shade thrown. When we looked up at the diner’s ceiling, my friend and I saw those words as we settled into large blue booths. But we soon realized, “Why would we go to where the Golden Arches are when you can get some great foodContinue reading “Blue Plate Diner Review”
Charuma Tea Bar Review
Okay, everyone! I found another tasty spot in downtown Providence. Let me tell you about Charuma Tea Bar, where the drinks are fresh, and the snacks are mouth-watering. Charuma Tea Bar is a bubble tea shop where their teas are imported from and hand-selected in Taiwan. They make their boba in-house. The staff explained thatContinue reading “Charuma Tea Bar Review”
Honey and Venom: Confessions of an Urban Beekeeper Review
Last year, a friend of mine took on beekeeping. While this same friend also had a healthy fear of bees (like myself), she took on this challenge while the great illness was upon us. She attempted to convince me to try it myself (truthfully, why not since I use honey all the time now- stillContinue reading “Honey and Venom: Confessions of an Urban Beekeeper Review”
How I became a farmer
Several years ago, the library gifted me free seeds. I thought I was going to plant that year, but I didn’t get around to it. I loved the idea of growing my fruits and vegetables, especially since I’m a self-proclaimed frugal queen. However, almost every year, I’d end up sending the seeds to my friend’sContinue reading “How I became a farmer”
it’s blog post official ;-)
Okay, 2020 was quite the year for many people. Please believe it was hectic for me, too. Somewhere amid the chaos, I had my website redone and published a book. Look at me; I’m a whole author now! It took a couple of years, but you can purchase my book “Jesus, Adulting, People in Poetry”Continue reading “it’s blog post official ;-)”
Dating, Sports and Awkward Silence Commentary
Confession: I have little to no interest in sports. Most of them require my more underdeveloped skills, but I may save that for another post. I’ve received dating advice that I thought was odd. It was to start watching sports so I can bond with my significant other. I wasn’t interested in doing so. PeopleContinue reading “Dating, Sports and Awkward Silence Commentary”
Hello, I’m your “Petty Peeve” but let me explain
“Gettin’ Grown” is one of my favorite podcasts. I’ve been a fan of their weekly commentary on adulting for over a year. Hosts Keia and Jade have a segment called “Petty Peeves” when they discuss what annoys them or their audience. I tune in with excitement, knowing I was going to relate to the hostsContinue reading “Hello, I’m your “Petty Peeve” but let me explain”
Show up for Yourself Reflection
I LOVE listening to podcasts! One of my favorites, The Black Girl Bravado, had an episode about “showing up for yourself.” Immediately, I felt extremely pumped and ready to get my life together. Sometimes, I get so caught up in things other than what I want or need to do. Of course, one particular “needContinue reading “Show up for Yourself Reflection”
