I was telling a friend how beautiful transparency and vulnerability is. Continuously granting access to the wrong person’s is the problem. Since a child I’ve felt like there’s nothing better than how I’m feeling and the whole truth. Got a lot of ass whoopings for [...]
I slept like a baby, y'all! Took the best wellness bath last night (see my insta stories for deets). I was way overdue for one. While I have celebrated many things this season like my oldest baby turning 18 and starting college, the world is [...]
