Facing Systemic Racism
Now I have deliberated on whether I should share what I have experienced and seen what systemic/institutional racism looks like. Debated whether people even cared enough to know since it seems like it continues without any changes. Wondering if it’s worth sharing a true-life’s experience relating to a topic that seems to be so controversial … Continue reading Facing Systemic Racism
Hardest Part of Step-Parenting
After hearing from many blended families, I’ve realized not all will have the same answer to what their hardest part of step-parenting is but the main one I’ve heard so far holds truest to those who don’t have it made easy.

Surviving the Quarantine Life

This Too Shall Pass
Mental wellness is just as important as physical wellness. But what happens when both get compromised? When you get both sick and mentally exhausted? Well I was exactly there this past Monday. My youngest bonus-daughter had gotten some kind of stomach bug over the weekend and the toss of ones cookies started in the afternoon … Continue reading This Too Shall Pass
