There was a time when I was willing to relinquish my cultural heritage to adopt my husband’s so that our children would be raised solely as a part of his culture. There was a time when doing that made complete sense to me and I would have done it in a heartbeat – not for …
you wake up one morning and the world never seemed more wrong, like an endless journey you wonder why life must go on. you wake up one morning and every breath is a gift, as beautiful as a song, your spirits need no lift. but come afternoon as though good feelings knew thrift, like perfect …
This year will probably be the busiest for me in terms of wedding attendance. This past Sunday, I completed my 4th out of six weddings for this year and attempted a new approach to that dreaded moment called, “the bouquet toss.” Why brides still insist on tossing that thing must be a twisted form of …
I first noticed him in there this morning. When I opened the water, he scurried to the side and I reduced the pressure to avoid washing him down the drain. As a joke, I tell people not to kill the bugs in my home, because they’re my pets. In reality, it’s just that I’d prefer …

Not sure if I can share my thoughts on this matter with clarity in one post but I finally decided to give it a shot 🙂 So here’s the deal. The single woman has four considerations: 1. Society’s idea of how you ought to feel about being single 2. What you think about where you …
