My Black is NOT Cracking.

I'm not Aging. I'm appreciating in value!

Photo by Mark Fletcher-Brown As a follow-up to my last post, I wanted to talk more about the importance of figuring out your “reason.” Your “Why.”   And your “why” may even change from time to time, (growth perhaps) but there are actually anti-aging benefits to always having one.

Okay, so everyone that personally knows me is quite aware that I’m a huge Earth, Wind & Fire fan. But no, I’m not talking about their hit song “Reasons.”  Although some of the lyrics do apply.  Well not the “I’m craving your body” part!   But for sure, the “I don’t want to feel, and I’m …

I was trying to decide what my first blog post, post-tragedy, (post talking about tragedy) should be about.  I didn’t want to write about what’s been on my mind, because I’m guessing I’ve depressed ya’ll enough. I’m struggling, but I’m trying.  My Noodle was no quitter.  Nor am I.  (But there have been days. Trust …

I’m back.  Sorta. This post is going to feel redundant based on my last few, (which were a few months ago now! I’m trying!!!) but it’s really bugging me, and I just feel the need for a recap!  I promise! This is the last time.  I’m also doing fifty-eleven things, so please forgive any typos. …
