Ain’t Nobody Got Time For That!

Let me just say….

I have 1 teenager

I have 1 almost pre-teen

I have 1 child

I have 1 full time career managing a territory I’ve traveled in since 1995

I have 1 house to run

I have 1 mother 5 miles away

I have 1 Latino Lover

I have 8 days of alcohol free so far 💪in a row

I have 2 more vices in the way till I will be completely done with all damaging bull fucking toxic crap

I have 1 new passionate love, writing, my creative outlet. I try to create space to allow my words to fall onto the page.

I have 1 new found appreciation for stillness and presence.

I have less then 1 ego to feed.

I have 2 years of going nuts post divorce with guys and partying and plenty of material for non fiction stories that will get your juices flowing. Been there, done that.

I have 3 months on tinder. That was plenty.

I have 5 years of divorce.

I have 1000 hugs to give my inner teacher today for the self love and self worth and self guidance she has brought me.

I have grace, to be held by the universe.

I have 1 or 5 or 10 brands I am building. I’m not sure which yet. I’m navigating my way… I’m walking, not questioning, not overanalyzing, simply letting answers percolate. Inspired and Inspire. Going through it and growing through it. Speaking my truth/ Speaking your truth. A voice! An authentic raw voice. For women who are finding theirs. For women who are afraid to get out of a bad situation. To encourage man and women to be vulnerable which is the deepest way to demonstrate strength. To be gently fierce. To be fierce as fuck.


What I don’t have, is I absolutely don’t have time for that. 😂😂🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄


Medium readers. What say you?

Well I’m flattered and certainly appreciate that anyone thinks I’m attractive I am so not in this space to spend my days flirting via Instagram direct message. I hope I don’t sound like a bitch. I encourage everyone to show up for themselves by stepping up, putting themselves out there, daring greatly like Brene Brown says. So I can’t discount that. At the same time it feels like a numbers game and slightly dehumanizing too.

I’m in the most important relationship in the world right now the one with myself. If I don’t get this right I have nothing for anyone or from anyone. This inner teacher and I? We are growing pretty close. That’s what I have time for❤️.
