Thoughtful reflection

Posted on October 9, 2025 by msw blog

It doesn’t have to be a grand gesture or wizard’s wave of the wand. It can be as simple as sipping a cup of tea, taking time to read a poem or soaking in a warm rosewater bath.

life is not yer mother

Posted on October 9, 2025 by msw blog

Oooh. You have to Bone-Grow. Nobody is coming to hand you the missing pieces. If the friendships you crave don’t exist, you have to forge them. If the structure that would benefit you isn’t there, invent it. Same with the life that wasn’t modelled to you. Carve it, instead, out of what you were given. This doesn’t have to be a sad story. Ain’t that the work of a lifetime? Figuring out the blank spots and naming what else might be possible? 

For me, this has meant admitting that there are tools that I assumed would appear. They did not, and I was, at one time, sick about it. I was waiting for Prince Charming. Or I wanted a parent to save me. But everything I wished for existed in me. …

Authentic self

Posted on October 7, 2025 by msw blog

All my life I’ve had people tell me about her too much or she always goes doing the most she thinks she better than use. I’m glad I figured out a long time ago that its not my fault that some people can’t handle the way God made me confident, sassy, brilliant and black don’t let their problem become your problem.

 Folks believe that real friends are those who stand by you when times are hard. The truth is true friends are also there to celebrate your wins and cheer and encourage you to the victory line. Some people are only comfortable when they can be the one you can lean on, when they can feel like the benefactor is feeding their sense of I’m a good person, but they become uncomfortable when your circumstances improve. They may not want to be envious but they are. The real ones hold your hand and support you equally in delight in your growth and success. They encourage you to smile, pursue laughter and scream I am better I am better.
