Norman and Then Some

  Alright y’all… let’s talk manifestation. A subject near and dear to my heart. This truly is one of my favorite topics to talk about because I have first hand experience involving it and several stories that relate to this type of insane energy. Call it magic, if you will… because I, the Blogging Bae, hands down… believes in MAGIC and manifestation.  And this is going to be a long one but entertaining, I’m sure… So get what you need now: your toilet break done, your beverage of choice, even a snack if you must because you are going to be here for a while. No worries, I’ll wait…. Are you back yet? Settled in? Ready to roll? Good because here we go.  It all started about ten years ago. I was once again ending a toxic relationship. Not only that I was freshly laid off. I was beginning a season of broke and being broken. On one ill-fated night (at the tail end of my tumultuous relationship) I left my house to stay in a hotel. I’m telling you this because what t...

Precious Story: Holiday and the Book

Image
I’m back friends. Did you miss me? I sure as heck missed you. Where did I go you might ask? Well, if you read up on my blog you’d know but in case you don’t, I took a nine day holiday back east… AND IT WAS GLORIOUS! I decided to make this trip as soon as I was able to get my vaccination because after the past year and eight months, the most important thing to me was seeing my loved ones before it was too late. If I have learned anything this year it’s been how unpredictable 365 days can truly be. In a flash someone who was once present can no longer exist. Just. Like. That. Like I have said in previous posts, I have lost a number of people this year alone and that made this trip all that much more important. People are just as fleeting as time is. I splurged on a first class ticket and made an itinerary. I wanted my nine days to count and they did. I did most things I set out to do. Most mornings I woke up just after sunrise and went to the beach which rejuvenated my entire soul… a...

A Dream. A Direction. A Reminder

  Yesterday, I went on a rant about how insane it is to think that shit happening to people is because they aren’t remaining positive 24/7…. 365. I still stand by this. I think it’s toxic and completely dismissive of the important lessons we need to learn in order to grow.   I also said that in all my life I have not been surrounded by as many people that dislike me for me being me than I do right now. That I have in the last six years. That too is still true but to be clear, I don’t like most of them either. The energy is all off.  When I moved cross-country, away from everyone and everything I knew as familiar. I wasn’t expecting to come into some crew AND BECOME INSTA BESTIES. I went from having a squad to having two close friends and to be frank, I wouldn’t trade the two for the squad I walked away from when I first moved here for a million dollars. I listed the reasons why these folks don’t like me in my last post but in addition to that you have to understand th...

You ever have one of those days where productivity goes out the fucking window and remaining positive is hanging on by one single frazzled thread? Yes? No? Kinda/Sorta? Well, that’s where I am right now and it’s taking most of my energy just to write this very blog post.  I’m trudging on though because this is a day off and it will be my only day off for a while. Work life is about to get real chaotic and then I go on holiday. A trip that at the current moment, I am stressed about. Not only due to this pandemic but also because of some personal situations. I’m not going anywhere fancy or exotic, just back home to spend time with family and friends that I haven’t seen in close to two years.  I like to think of myself as both mentally and physically strong. I also like to think that I STAY POSITIVE NO MATTER WHAT ADVERSITY I AM FACING. However, it’s absolutely ludicrous to think that I’m shooting rainbows from my ass 365, 24/7 and that a negative thought or a worry will ulti...
