Dear Woman with the disability, We are all disabled somehow - whether we choose to accept or deny it. It is there. The only difference is that yours is visible, and we all see it. However, don’t let any limitation or encumbrance hinder you from being who you want to be and doing what you... Continue Reading →
Dear Woman Holding onto the Maiden name, I don't blame you! I do not know what all the hype is all about with changing the name. When it comes to the name change, I feel like a radical feminist. I've obtained degrees and accolades; started a business with the name - and because I said "I... Continue Reading →
Finding a man you can trust in their words and intentions can be like finding a needle in a haystack. (It almost feels like all the good men are taking).

Dear Woman Who Has to Forgive, It sucks that we have to forgive; it does! Especially when you've been wronged so many times for the same offense. Let us have a raw moment, as a christian or not, saint or ain't; it hurts to forgive. It almost feels worst than the offense. A rush of... Continue Reading →
Dear Overqualified Proverbs 31 Woman, You are Supermom and your kryptonite is that you don’t know when to STOP! You bend over backward. You work to meet the standard of Proverbs 31 Woman.

Dear Women Desperately Needing Mr. Right, I have seen this far too many times, where women feel like they have reached a dead-end in their love life, and they compromise. They trade loneliness for “love” - They settled for the unsettling. This plot does not have to be your narrative. Settle for a lifetime of peace. Settle... Continue Reading →
Dear Woman Who can’t say NO,I used to be you… ok, I am still struggling with it. So I guess this is our A.A. meeting - Hi everyone, my name is Rose, and I can’t say no.I cannot say no, not even to save my life. I’ve sacrificed my comfort, and my time to help... Continue Reading →
Dear Woman who've Lost so many times, You are NOT losing this time! All your life, you’ve been loading a cargo of defeat because all you do is lose “no matter what, and you stay there.” Weakness, Failure, and Loss are inevitable - we all will experience them at one point or another. You are... Continue Reading →

It is unfortunate that you are always forgotten and that all you have done have gone unnoticed.Let’s put an end to this - it is time you are remembered for your good heart and... Continue Reading →
They've said that most people who've cracked a smile are often veneering their truest emotions. They conceal it in hopes that people will not know their truth, because the Truth HURTS! They hate to display emotion so they are not perceived as vulnerable and weak. They launder the reality they feel about others... they hate them but... Continue Reading →
Presuming that everyone has had a glimpse of the behind the scenes of their favorite role model or movie, you know that there had to be some major setback at some point in time.

Dear Privileged Woman, I know it's been out for debate whether you are a woman of privilege or not. I know that you are unaware of my fellow Black Women's struggle. I know... I don't fault you for it. It isn't fair to call you ignorant for not knowing. But as of yesterday, I want you to open... Continue Reading →
Dear Married & Masturbating, Yeah yeah, I know... I know your marriage bed is undefiled. But trading a penis for plastic is not the way to go. You've neglected your husband and clung to sex toys because you've suffered and endured a boring and unsatifiying sex life for too long. I hear you! May I offer a word... Continue Reading →
Dear Lesbian - Woman with Pride, Homosexuality used to be the best-kept secret; an embarrassment to most and a guilty pleasure to few. Then it became a trend; it was what everyone talked about. But we were not ready for what it has become today; a way of life to many. We weren’t prepared to live with the differences of... Continue Reading →
Dear Woman Dropping the Charges, It may take some time before you are granted forgiveness and clemency. You’ve sullied a man’s character and defamed his reputation. Now he must live with a mark of disgrace; the dagger is that he is innocent. He knows it, God knows it, and you know it. Yes! You’ve dropped the charges. Yes, you’ve recanted... Continue Reading →
Dear Mommie,My beloved mom, I never got to tell you this because oddly enough I thought I would always have the time...but, thank you for keeping me. I’m forever angry with time as it robbed me of so much. I constantly drown myself in tears hoping I could share so many more days with you. Knowing... Continue Reading →
Dear Woman with Mommy Issues, The way you carry the load of knowing the woman who carried you for 9 months didn't want you, and till this day still doesn't want you, is quite remarkable. And I know Mother's Day must be the worst day for you. Though you look courageous and unfluctuating on the outside, on the... Continue Reading →
Dear Woman Next Door, If walls could talk… you would hear sooo much - the whispers of steamy sex, old wives tales, juicy gossip, secrets unveiling, unsatisfactory shady approvals... There is so much to be learned behind closed doors. Since you are listening behind her walls, I hope we can put your curiosity to good... Continue Reading →
Dear Woman Craving Acceptance, You know, if I can dare be frank with you, we ALL either have been there or are there right now. So, you're not alone. We all long to be accepted and loved by others.

Dear Untamed Tongue, For too long you've allowed your untamed tongue to destroy people's confidence and damage hearts. I know they say the tonality matters, that is true. But sis, words hurt!! Words cut deeper than your tone of voice ever could. Words do far more damage than a stare. Words spoken are never forgotten. Being vocal and assertive is a beautiful... Continue Reading →
Dear Preggo,You’re the real MVP! As a result of overfamiliarity, you definitely go without being properly appreciated. At times you go uncared for, unheard and unappreciated. We don’t thank you enough for your sacrifice. You sacrifice your body, your career, and at times you sacrifice your life. We don’t thank you enough for your willingness to embark on the journey. We've... Continue Reading →
Dear Me Too, Way too many of us have been suffering in silence. We've accepted and allowed silence to be a weapon to cripple us. Meanwhile, the most potent weapon we own is our voice. It is time to use our voice to free us; indict and incarcerate the assailant. What's the point of owning a weapon if we are... Continue Reading →
Dear Woman With the Fibroids, I know you are exhausted from looking pregnant when you are not. I know how hard it is having people ask you how many months you are when you are not.

Dear Ugly Woman, “Whatcha talkin' bout Willis?” Girl, don’t let people tell you that you’re ugly and don’t you dare be the one to say it to yourself either!

Dear Grieving Woman, Every five minutes you have a cluster of foreign emotions you're experiencing. Just when you thought you've come to a moment of peace, another grief-stricken emotion walks through the door. You have lost 50% of yourself and you can never get it back. Losing a mother is tormenting; for the lack of a better word. It... Continue Reading →
Dear Terrified One, Someone once said, "The higher your climb, the better the view.” Come on girl, get up here. The view just keeps getting better and better. Don't be afraid to do it. Caution is good... but too much caution causes you never to amount to much. But on your way up, be sure not to take unnecessary weights... Continue Reading →
Dear Lady with the Toxic Family, By now I know that you are tired of your family and all the anxiety they trigger. Family is important so I could never tell you to cut ties with them; and besides, that is too divisive. What I can say is set boundaries. Don’t allow them to overstep your bounds. Put your...

Dear Black Woman Hiding Her White Man, True love is not racist. It is untamable; it knows no borders. It is unstoppable; it can’t be restrained. It is unmistakable; it can't be hidden.

Dear Woman Who Picked the Wrong Man, Shit!This is where I draw a blank. There is too much at stake for me to give you common and generic advice. Do I tell you to leave him, knowing very well that you want to stay? Should I remind you of all the reasons why you must go NOW?... Continue Reading →
Dear Woman Wounded by Church, If I can count how many times I've been hurt by church, I wouldn't have any pieces of my heart left and I sure wouldn't have enough of me left.

Dear Woman in Politics,They used to say, “This is a Man’s World.” Now we say “But it would be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl.” While this seat is often occupied by men, it can also be occupied by you. You too have got what it takes. You too belong here. Don’t be intimidated. You deserve a... Continue Reading →
Dear Independent Woman,I’m here for it. Get your degree! Get your career! Get your house! Get your dream car! Girl, get it all!!!! But remember to leave room to be a little dependent. While independence is praiseworthy and dependency becomes this abnormality, I'm starting to see that being independent has been handicapping our society instead of freeing it. The "I can do life all... Continue Reading →
Dear Baby Mama, The last letter that I addressed to you got into the hands of someone else. She reached out on your behalf to remind me there is “pain and hurt” behind your actions. She also summoned to my memory that you’re the victim and not the villain. So, I’m addressing another letter to you... Continue Reading →
Dear Woman Behind the Influential Man, Roots often go unnoticed. Meanwhile, the fruits are enjoyed. The stage crew goes overlooked all the time. Meanwhile, the production and actors are praised. And you, my fair lady, are no different. Your husband gets all the accolades and you go unremarked. If no one ever tells you this, thank you! Thank you for how well... Continue Reading →
Dear Prayer Warrior, One of life's hacks is having a praying lifestyle. You understand this so well. I find it quite admirable.

Continue Reading →
Dear Mother who Hates Her Stepdaughter, Ou, Chile! I heard that you hate your stepdaughter because you fear that she will preoccupy all of your husband’s love and that your daughter will compete with his daughter. You aren’t wrong for feeling the way you do; there is no judgement here. But I hope you can channel a healthier... Continue Reading →
Dear Sugar Baby, What I’m not going to do is judge you. As a matter of fact, this isn’t even my business. So, pardon me if I’m coming off a bit condemnatory. Trading sexual favors for a lavish way of life is not good commerce. It shows a reflection of exploitation, prostitution, and who knows, maybe trafficking. This lifestyle... Continue Reading →
Dear BabyMama with the Drama, I know you feel an intense or passionate dislike seeing the man who destroyed your life live his best life.

Dear Sister-in-Law, If you could be so kind to just treat me right… I would appreciate it. It may be that you don’t feel like your brother made the right choice.

I don't tell you this enough... Whether you have hair or not You're beautiful! You're enough I love you... Always!
The Dependent Me The Dependent Me is me operating in my true blueprint. While independence is praiseworthy and dependency becomes this abnormality, I'm starting to see that being independent has been handicapping our society instead of freeing it. It evokes in people an "I can do life by myself" attitude. Phrases like "I can raise... Continue Reading →
The Incarcerated Me The Incarcerated Me is in a personal prison. My very own prison that I have built with my own mind. NO ONE can hurt me but ME. The doors are locked. No one can help me... I'm my worst critic - nothing I do is ever good enough. Excellence isn't good enough... Continue Reading →
The Damaged Me The Damaged Me is held in captivity by my pain, my past, and my people. Together, they have a way to affect me with paralysis... unable to move forward and inhibits the hope for a better future. Pain, honestly, we weren't built for it. Once we have pain... we cry... we give... Continue Reading →
The Online me The Online Me is really not who I am... it is who I wish I could be... the me that I want people to see, know, and remember. The online me is a facade, veneered to look appealing and at times to be hungered after. I've dissolved that if I can fake... Continue Reading →

Women are patterned to carry eggs, ovulate, menstruate, procreate, breastfeed, nurture, and MULTI-TASK. A Broken Mother can only offer the shattered pieces of herself. That's all she’s got to give. Broken mirrors and broken windows are often ineffective. In the same vein, broken mothers may not be as operative as they ought to be. We've... Continue Reading →
The word on the street is that Jada Pinkett-Smith had an affair; and all hell broke loose. When celebrities show a little transparency or expose a transgression or a misguided judgment, there is this veiled or equivocal reflection on their reputation. But in actuality, every married person is “entangled” in their own marital dysfunctions, whether... Continue Reading →
The Genesis of my blog began with Broken Crayons. I talked about how many of us limit the potential of the crayon because it is broken.

Right from the start when I met him, back in 2000, I uncovered he was a man of ambition. He was avid for a favorable outcome in life. As he didn’t have any ancestors to pave the way for him, he paved a way for himself and for those who would follow after him. He... Continue Reading →
The Double Sided Story As authors or fiction tellers, we hold the pen to a world of outcomes and possibilities. We get to tell the story how we want it to be told.

Honestly... COVID19 is the reason I know the word "QUARANTINE". In fact, the first time I used it in a sentence, I butchered it. My husband had me repeat the sentence 3 times hoping I would catch it. Each time, I said the same thing. He ended up correcting me and we both had a... Continue Reading →
Do you remember Job? He has a whole book in the bible dedicated to him. Most people find the book too convoluted to understand.

These times are hard times, harder than anything we could ever imagine. It's been disturbing and distraught. I've ran out of comforting words to give to my friends.

Make the best of these days is really ironic. Where do we find any "best" during those days? The days have brought winds of emotions, complications and frustrations.

These past couple of weeks have been a CALAMITY... ALL of this to me are scenes directly from a film as seen on TV. Seeing in right before my eyes is SURREAL and UNSETTLING.

I've watched one of the most gut-wrenching videos today. A man who is expressing his happiness that Kobe Bryant passed away. Apparently, it is a "good story" the story of the athlete's passing.

Death to the notion of… Death is a tragic experience for EVERYONE, to those they call “thugs” and to those they call “chickens”. Our human instinct continues to struggle with accepting death.

Hello 2019… or should I say, Hello You. We commonly hear, “this new year is going to be my year.” Yet, we find that, our non-resoluted resolutions have been there since 2010.

The Pain, the Pill, the Legend Pain is painful, if that makes any sense. There is nothing worst than pain, an intense agony decaying one’s peace.

Every relationship has them,... Continue Reading →

Since 2015 I've been averting from starting this blog ... frightened of the “what ifs.” "What if I have no one to read it? What if people judge my transparency?
