I'd like to think of myself as a Good Person. But as you may already know from your own experience, no one is all that good and this episode brings the Villain to the light! It also evokes some self reflection, strap in folks! Ps: I'd love to hear from you: Voice note link https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ihope-ifind-thewords/message

Dear God.....I have so much to say. A loaded letter; frank and open. Ps: I'd love to hear from you: Voice note link https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ihope-ifind-thewords/message

"Today, I gather three special letters and we give these women we have come to know as mom, their flowers, large, bright, succulent flowers; we give them our experience of them condensed into words and we thank them for all they have given, all they will give and all that we can never give back even if we tried." Happy Mothers' Day To all mothers and mother figures. Ps: I'd love to hear from you: Voice note link https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ihope-ifind-thewords/message

"Is a" welcome back episode! A stretch exercise into the new season. Once again allow me to give a not so animated explanation of my whereabouts. I give a peek into the not so awesome season of writing and content creation that every creative dreads. I speak of the doubt, the life seasons, the intense emotions, the frustration, the internal shift that scares you to your core because...will that change me, my voice, creativity, my sound?

All about turning a year older...a big age I am yet to get used to.  In this episode, I talk about myself (from my perspective and that of others), the newness I feel in this season and my attempt to affirm my essence in words, loudly and publicly. I plan to come back here often to remember these aspects of myself. I hope you will find it enjoyable and find me familiar.

Speaking of the "almost became love" that may have slipped through the fingers. Or the one that passed you by and you barely caught a glimpse of it. As we celebrate love, we celebrate all the good things that we had going, the flings that literally had us flung to the ground but yet had to end. This is to the memory of the good ones and to the better ones we hope for.

I am sneaking back just like how love is sneaking up on you this Valentines'! I honestly poured out my hopes for love in this one; a brief piece about the butterflies of a young love. Partly a list of those things that I hope to find and others that I am willing to nurture in a soulmate. But even in my busy schedule of creating my own "catch", I thought I should remind you to "Step all the same" even if it is a shaky, unsure or sometimes painful one. Make room for love!

All in the business of taking back my power by exposing those tiny little foxes that linger in the shadows. I try to hear the sound of my voice and harness the power of my tongue to affirm that these things don't have to become true for me, and about me and if they are, they don't have to stay that way.

When all I want to do is to fall in line, shape up, be grown and get things done but my everything in me refuses to cooperate. These are the thoughts that run in my mind and it can get weird in here. Today, I am just stating things as they are, I am offering no solutions, just possibilities and maybes. And sometimes that is all I work with.

This is a short story, an interpretation of an altercation with people in a place of power and in a metaphorical way showing how life itself can be rough with us. I promise I vent. I needed to get this off my chest, and find my voice again.

There are days that are like this, and others that are like that But surely there will be days like these....

Rest can feel like a taboo, to be taken in secrecy, quietly, like partaking in a crime. I thought to share some thoughts on rest hoping that this affirms your need for rest and gives you permission to be kind to yourself and take a breather, a break when you need it.
