I’m about to talk about what I don’t usually talk about because like most things, if you’re not actually “that person, working in that profession, or on that job” you tend not to relate, understand, or empathize with what and how people feel about certain things. My blog, however, is a form of therapy forContinue reading “Story Time…”

I Told You My Mental Matters
Yesterday was crazy. Let me preface this with I’ve been helping my oldest son because he’s going through some life changes. The world can be a big bowl of mess sometimes especially for Black men. I’m very cognizant of that and because of this I am careful with what I say and how I showContinue reading “I Told You My Mental Matters”
From Nurse to Entrepreneur: Embracing God’s Direction for a New Path
I have been feeling, or my body has been trying to tell me something. I recently talked with God about what He was trying to teach or tell me. I’ve been noticing or paying attention to my body lately. When it’s time to go to work, I literally begin to feel sick and my bodyContinue reading “From Nurse to Entrepreneur: Embracing God’s Direction for a New Path”
Holidays After Death
Let’s just get right to it. I had an extremely hard time last week into this week. As a nurse, I deal with death quite frequently, but losing someone close to you is a whole other realm of grief. There is something about death that has had me in a plethora of feelings. I’d haveContinue reading “Holidays After Death”
Leaving the Bedside
I don’t know about anyone else, but being a bedside nurse isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Yes, I will admit that most of us make it look flawless or, at minimum like we’re true superheroes wearing a cape all the time. If only, right? I get it because I prepare for my exitContinue reading “Leaving the Bedside”
Black Women
There is something special about Black mothers. Looking back at slavery, we have had our bodies taken by the white slave masters while forcing our Black men to stand by helplessly and watch. We have mothered our children and that of our oppressors. We have taken care of everyone’s children, literally. We nurture, we careContinue reading “Black Women”
Real Quick
I thought I’d come on to speak on how life’s been for me since this pandemic. Let me start off by saying, “I am safe, thank God.” Not all clinical workers, laymen, and others on the frontlines can say that. Everywhere now has a real risk for exposure, but at my healthcare center, we’ve managedContinue reading “Real Quick”
Pandemics Don't Stop Nurses From Nursing!
First of all, let me shout out all my nurses out there. We are some freaking unbelievable, unstoppable, reliable, dependable, loving, and caring individuals. While I know that not everyone has these characteristics, I’m showing love for the ones who do. We rock it out every day for any number of hours. We leave theContinue reading “Pandemics Don't Stop Nurses From Nursing!”
Hey Y’all
I don’t have much to say because I can barely keep my eyes open. However, I will extend “well wishes” to everyone who is sick, getting sick, or just trying to stay well. It’s a scary time with all the COVID-19 business going on. But, if you follow proper hand hygiene and best practices outlinedContinue reading “Hey Y’all”
Let’s Get Into It!
As you know, if you read my blog yesterday, I didn’t exercise. I was going through some things. But today was much better. I woke up at 2:30am from choking and bringing up thick phlegm. Yuck, it was nasty, and I didn’t know what it was, but it woke me up abruptly, and I hadContinue reading “Let’s Get Into It!”
