We can’t eradicate it. Today, I had the opportunity of a lifetime. Back before it was a popular buzzword, I was learning about human trafficking. What shocks me, truthfully, is that more people are not aware of what is going on in plain sight. It was an intimate group of powerhouses. People who are inContinue reading “If We Don’t Talk About It”

Triggered into the future
Years ago, there was a man with whom I was very much in love. We were best friends. We were basically inseparable. There was one huge, glaring problem between us. My faith. We had hours and hours of discussions, debates, tirades for and against God. Finally, one day, he asked me a question. “Deneen, ifContinue reading “Triggered into the future”
Coming alive
There is a dream that has been inside of you for your whole life. It’s lingering just below your consciousness…every once in a while it bubbles to the surface, but you bury it out of fear. Then…you pull it up to see it, and laugh at it, writing it off as a childish dream, nothingContinue reading “Coming alive”
Comparison is a waste of time
Have you ever found yourself wondering, “what does he/she have that I don’t?” I’ve found that question arising a lot lately in a personal situation. Tonight, I finally figured it out. You’ve got nothing but problems, woman. You see…I’m holding my own here. I support myself. When I go to sleep, I know that, atContinue reading “Comparison is a waste of time”
Treatise
I understand why I’ve attracted the people into my life that I have. I take responsibility for the energy that I’ve put out into the universe to attract the people I have. That being said…my energy is shifting. I’m not tolerating the same bullshit I have in the past…because I’m not the same person IContinue reading “Treatise”
Does it really have to be hard?
Somehow, from a young age, I was taught that things have to be hard and unattainable. My dad is a hard-working man. He’s worked well over 40 hours a week since he was 17 doing back breaking work. I honor him…his blood, sweat and tears have fed two generations. The lessons he taught me enabledContinue reading “Does it really have to be hard?”
I see you
Hi. I see you. 👀 You. Walking down the street, looking like you have it all. Coifed hair. Nice shoes. Perfect makeup. Good job. Good relationship. Nice car. Pretty house. 2.5 kids, dog, picket fence. Glazed over eyes, just going through the motions. Numb. Numbing yourself with Facebook, instagram, candy crush. I see you. YouContinue reading “I see you”
I’m pressed but not crushed
Do you know that song? It’s been racing through my head for two days now…but I digress. At the beginning of the blog. Oy vey. The ebb and flow of life is really interesting to me. Some days are amazing and some days I’m amazed I remember to breathe. Right now, I’m in a crucible/pressingContinue reading “I’m pressed but not crushed”
Desert Time
Hey there! So…I’ve been MIA. A lot has been going on in my world, causing me to neglect my first passion…which is writing. There are times when I want to shout from the mountaintops what is going on…and times when I’m huddled in my turtle shell, well…just hiding in my shell. The past few weeksContinue reading “Desert Time”
The illusion seems so real
So…I realize that I’ve been radio silent. Again. It’s amazing how easy it is to let life steal my voice. A few weeks ago I had a major breakthrough only to hit a wall. So many times I feel like the crazy person in the middle of this illustration…spinning my wheels, exerting a lot ofContinue reading “The illusion seems so real”
