Love my new FT job. My 17-yr old daughter and I are having honest, calm healthy interactions. I named my car ANTHROPOLOGY. She goes in adventures and digs.

Pan’s Labyrinth. What she kept under the bed.

Asymmetrical Bob. Looks great with my natural curls. Looks nice with a blow out too.

Five years ago a female friend asked me “ Should I marry D?” We. Were friends and our girls were school friends. A answered honestly, “ no. He’s verbally and emotionally abusive.” She yelled and broke off friendship. Last week she called me. “I’m divorcing D. You were right.” Now she wants emotional support,…

Just lost an ex- boyfriend. We were each other’s life loves from 24-26. All those moons ago. Jump to 20 years later ( we lost touch) I read on his FB page he died of an aggressive cancer.

Practice on your peaches!

When the reporter said CBC 45 replied, “ what’s CBC?” Didn’t even recogniz the Congressional Black Caucus. Enough said.

No shame friend. I remember the sayings from 12-step programs “Progress not Perfection.”

Merci Baba joon!
