“Why Should I Get Vaccinated if I Can Still Get Covid?” This is my most frequently asked questioned and OMG! I wanna curse but I’m not gonna. I am in no way an epidemiologist but I work in IT Healthcare and I follow a few scientists, I also like reading, and my college degree was…

Name Your Price and Stick to It
My biggest roadblock as an entrepreneur is myself. Read that line again. I pride myself on being unapologetically me and most of the time I overthink things and want to cater to everyone but the older I get the more I realize that everyone isn’t my customer. Watching my boyfriend graphic design and charge an…
It’s the Generational Misogyny for Me
“The man of the house does the yard work” and stuff like that. Someone very very close explained to me and I nodded in disappointment. You know that nod. The “I’m nodding because I respect you but, I’m a millennial and I’m shaking my head inside” nod speaks volumes. Growing up at times my mom…
Vaxxed, Relaxed, and a Plea to the Unvaxxed and Ignoring Facts Population
Herd immunity in the USA is just not going to happen any time soon. As a professional optimist, I also believe in facts and the facts are not enough people are getting vaccinated. At first it was, “Wear masks to protect each other” and now it’s “wear a mask to protect the unvaccinated.” That one…
Assessing Your Peace Portfolio: Be Kind to Unkind People
Before you jump down my throat hear me out. I’ve been scorned way too many times for me to still be a professional optimist and I know this and don’t understand this. It’s not going to make me less chipper though. It will make me wiser. As the only girl amongst my mom’s two boys…
Grounded: How Quitting My Flight Attendant Job Helped Me Soar
I quit being a flight attendant seven years ago. I wasn’t bad at the job but I don’t think the opportunity happened at the right time for me. After all, I showed up at the interview ever so nonchalant. After reading how hard the selection process was I was certain that they would never pick…
Two Distant Strangers
Today a cop was charged with manslaughter for killing a black man in broad daylight in front of a crowd. It may be the closest thing to justice we will see as accountability has been far in between. Recently, I watched a Netflix movie titled Two Distant Strangers about a guy who wakes up at…
Don’t Let Past Luggage Sink Your Current Relationship
I love the ship metaphor for relationships. If both parties are working together to keep the ship afloat it’s smooth(ish) sailing (you can’t control the weather). If not, you’re going to sink. It may not be as fast as the Titanic but it’s inevitable. Finishing my first poetry book Return to Sender was the closure…
Emotional Maturity: Stop Attending Every Circus You’re Invited to
Most of the time I was the only girl among four brothers. Crying and whining wasn’t really tolerated so I learned to adapt. I don’t know what it is or where it came from but the ability to pack my emotions away became second nature as if I was taking vacations left and right. The…
Not to Burst Your Bubble: Your Pandemic Pod is Way Too Big
You know how they say that every time you have sex with a new person you’ve had sex with everyone they’ve had sex with and so on and so forth? Let’s think of our pandemic pods as so. If you’re in America, there’s a high probability that your pod has burst long ago. Someone in…
OMG It's Just Daé
