This is a bit of a love letter, a warning, and a gentle roast of myself. There are so many things I wish I could tell my younger self. Not because she was doing things wrong. It’s just that she was doing the absolute most with no information. She was a tiny chaos engine powered…

Killer Heels Saturday – Chapter One: She Had a Premise and a Pair of Pumps
Every book begins with a spark. Not a polite spark either but more like the kind that snaps, hisses, and threatens to burn your eyebrows off if you ignore it. This week we’re talking about the moment the idea for my book was born. The genre. The themes. The characters who started whispering in my…
Tiny Joys For Grounding In The Chaos This Week
This week has been… a lot. The kind of week where my brain feels like 47 tabs are open, two are frozen, and one is playing music I can’t find. But even inside the chaos, I kept stumbling into these tiny, glittery moments that reminded me I’m still here, still me, still capable of softness….

It’s the moment someone decides that their feelings deserve a wall, not a whisper. When you trace history, you realize street art isn’t just about color or style. It’s about emotion made public….
Lupus….The Silent Killer
I have Lupus. It’s so weird to say that because besides asthma in my childhood and some thyroid issues years ago that are now also being attributed to lupus, I’ve been relatively healthy in life. At this point, lupus has taken a kidney and an ovary from me so far and I’m still learning everyday…
Color Crush Series: Verdant Whisper

Verdant Whisper is that kind of color. It doesn’t demand attention, it earns it through presence. Through patience and through quiet…
The Art of Being Dramatic on Purpose
Lately I’ve really found comfort in being dramatic about everything. Sometimes life, for me, just becomes so overwhelmingly chaotic that I can’t figure out if I’m going up or down. These past few weeks I’ve really decided to lean into dealing with it all in a very different way and weirdly, I’ve been far less…
Valentine’s Day: A Love Story, A Legend, and A Whole Lot of Marketing
Valentine’s Day didn’t always start with roses, prix fixe dinners, and heart shaped everything. It once began with ancient rituals, centuries of evolving storytelling, and eventually became the commercial powerhouse we now see every February. Understanding the true journey makes the holiday feel richer and a little funnier than the glossy pink aisles let on….
