Tonight I had dinner in Nashville. I sprinted from my hairdressers to the nearest restaurant/bar to watch the World Series. I came in a few minutes after the game started. Within minutes of sitting at an upscale bar, I was judged on where I lived, for my drink preference, and before the night was over,Continue reading “Judging in Nashville”

The Land of “Why?”
Have you ever been to the land of “Why?” It’s an awful place. I used to live there. The people in the land of “Why?” are called “Wanderers”. They ask a lot of questions. They want to know a lot of stuff. When I lived there I’d asked “Why?” a lot too. I wanted toContinue reading “The Land of “Why?””
Stat Changer
I’ve always loved stats. I find it interesting what people like, don’t like, what makes them look, all the good psychological stuff. Since I’ve been blogging, on all social media platforms and have a website, I frequently check my stats. I’m not as concerned about numbers as I am about what is the profile ofContinue reading “Stat Changer”
Are You Blessed?
If you’ve followed me long enough on social media or my blog then you know my purpose in telling my stories is not only for my healing but it’s also to educate and help others specifically about narcissists. Since I’ve been blogging about narcissists and studying them like I’m taking a psychology exam, I meetContinue reading “Are You Blessed?”
It’s Time
I’ve been locked in since I returned from Charleston. I’ve been sick with allergies and because I’ve been under the weather, I’ve taken full advantage of my lockdown and have worked diligently on my memoir. I’ve struggled with writing my memoir for many reasons but mainly because it’s painful. It’s painful to say what happenedContinue reading “It’s Time”
The Golden Rule
I’ve blogged about trauma several times. I believe since my awakening that I’ve become more sensitive to other people’s trauma, not just my own. If you read my story “Trauma in Charleston” then you know I was empathetic to the history of Charleston and the lack of respect and honor as it stands today. TurningContinue reading “The Golden Rule”
Are you born a narcissist?
How does one become a narcissist? A question inquiring minds want to know. A child is not born a narcissist but becomes one by being born into a family or having caretakers that don’t have empathy for the child. They can’t support the child emotionally. Often this is the position of the mother. However, thisContinue reading “Are you born a narcissist?”
Free Lunch
I wrote that quote several months ago. As I recall, I tweeted it due to so much judgment on social media. I see more of it on Twitter than on any other platform. Judgment is harsh, detrimental, and sadly what has formed us. I can remember the first time I was judged, you know IContinue reading “Free Lunch”
Religious Trauma Is Real
We know there’s trauma from childhood wounds. It could be from abandonment, neglect, poverty, harassment, bullying, domestic violence, racism, sexism, weight stigma, social isolation, parentification, emotional abuse, physical abuse, just to name a few. The one that you don’t hear often is Religious Trauma which some psychologists call a syndrome. This stems from raising aContinue reading “Religious Trauma Is Real”
Are you a Confidant, Constituent or Comrade?
Lately, I’ve been thinking about a sermon by Bishop T.D. Jakes that I heard years ago, it has stuck with me since I heard it. I felt like I needed to blog about it today due to someone needed to hear it. He speaks on how our tribe does not always look like us andContinue reading “Are you a Confidant, Constituent or Comrade?”
