The Revival of Self: Healing Beyond Loss and Rediscovering You Listen below now or on your favorite streaming platform ! I write cinquain poems. Granted, I have not written any in a while, but they are one of my favorite styles of poetry to dabble in. A cinquain is a five-line poem with specific syllable requirements for each line, similar to a haiku. Every now and then, one will pop up on my blog with increased views. Most recently, one that I wrote, titled Missing has increased views.  I don’t remember the exact circumstance at that particular time that caused me to write it, but I know what it stemmed from. It was a quick note to my late husband, whom I had traumatically lost nine years prior. Nine years later and I was still writing notes to him? Heck, 13 years later, and I still write journal entries to or about him. Being a widow is funny like that.  The words of it struck and stuck with me, though. Loss is one of the most difficult and stressful situations that we can ...

Ironheart Episodes 1–3: A Fiery Start or Just Warming Up Listen below now or on your favorite streaming platform ! Ironheart, starring Anthony Ramos, Dominique Thorne, Manny Montana, and Lyric Ross, was released by Disney+ to some controversy and mixed reviews. And by controversy, I mean misogyny and racist hate. So there is this thing that racists do when they can’t help their racism in the entertainment industry. They tank a production with bad reviews when they haven’t even engaged with it. Similar to those who talked trash about Cowboy Carter without even having listened to it. Similar to those who already decided they hated the Little Mermaid live-action movie because Halle Bailey played Ariel. The same people who will hop on social media and leave terrible, disparaging comments on posts that they are hateful towards because they are racist or anti LGBTQ. They have to find a way to express the hate in their hearts when people are just trying to live their best lives. It’s called r...
