I'm an independent thinker, a free spirit, and believe that the universe rewards us when we say yes and swing hard at the slow balls. I've just published my debut, an autobiographical coming-of-age book titled Silicon Valley Girl: My Adolescent Life and Times, and an Ode to Generation X.

Repost from @longlivetheppl • Solution # 2 My exact thoughts . I’m amazed . Level up . Or give up . The choice is yours . But do it elsewhere . There are 330 million people living here . Where is your mother’s house ? Where do your grandparents live ? What about that nursing home in some neighborhood you’ve never heard of that only has one grocery store , and it burned down ? Maybe you have nothing to lose . But we mothers and grandmothers , our children and grandchildren , these babies being born in the middle of a pandemic ? We don’t deserve to lose everything , including the babies we brought into this world a year ago , five years ago , ten years ago , 20 years ago , 30 years ago , or 50 years ago . Your actions have ripple effects , domino effects , butterfly effects , cosmic , karmic , and Akashic effects , spiritual effects , environmental / animal habitat effects , ecosystem effects , effects that will be felt for the next 100 years , and alter the course of history , interfering with every woman , child , and man’s free will , hopes , dreams , and ultimately , each person’s individual destiny / fate . If you want to destroy something , go burn down your grandmother’s house . Burn down Tyler Perry Studios right here in Atlanta ... the largest movie studio in the United States , and the first ever major production studio to be owned by an Afro American . Tyler Perry ... the dude who was homeless , living out of his car , and thinking about committing suicide . He lived . He made it . He’s making history and has also created jobs for other Afro Americans , generating revenue for the state of Georgia , increasing opportunities for scores of recent college graduates from the Historically Black Colleges and Universities ( HBCUs) established by our ancestors—former slaves who had to make a way out of no way to obtain a college education . They built those institutions so that we as a people could educate ourselves and improve our own dire circumstances because we are a resilient people . Because black lives matter SO MUCH . Think . Think . Think . #ourlivesmatter #ourchildrenmatter #BLM #MLK #atlanta #evolve #blackexcellence #tylerperrystudios #HBCU
Today is my brother’s birthday . And because he and I are twins , it is also my birthday . My father’s birthday is in 5 days , which meant that growing up , exactly half the people in my immediate family were born under the sun sign of Gemini . Happy Birthday , Daddy . I love you forever . I am grateful ... so very grateful for a sunny , mild day in the A and I’m grateful to my ancestors . Finally , I’m grateful for life , breath , and the feel of the grass beneath my feet as I ground myself and connect with Mother Earth . I am surrounded with love and peace . Blessings upon blessings upon blessings . Love , love , love , love , love . 🌬💞🌞🌺🌀🌊💫✨✨✨ #love #motherearth #grounding #mentalhealth #earthing #grass #atlanta #breath #freshair #thoughts #gratitude #peace #blessings #healing #nature #birthday #fathers #ancestors #evolving
My amusing take on my mother’s doubling up on her Sunday sermons . 😂😂😂 I’m out of breath because I’d just carried my heavy ass baby grand up the stairs and when I walked in , this is what I saw , so of course I had to document it and my mom is a very good sport and knows that I once was a hard - core , bible thumping instrument of the message of salvation or eternal damnation . Because that is such a loving message ! Get baptized or burn for eternity . Those are the only two options , now get your ass into that baptism pool before Satan lights your ass on fire ! ! ! 🔥🔥🔥 #burnbabyburn #evangelists #churchathome #covid19 #cancer #addiction #cure #sendmoney #preachers #evangelicals #callnow #pollution #problemsolved #online
Did I tell you I made tortilla soup . Yeah , I totally did and it totally kicks ass . Like , it’s so good . And here I am chilling and listening to music and pondering the deep questions of the universe and my guides are all like , yeah , she did that , and I’m just enjoying a beautiful night and being grateful for the food in my refrigerator and the breath in my lungs , my family , and our safety . There is no day but today , and I will be glad because I know we are all being changed . It isn’t a race , and cooler heads always prevail . I don’t own the rights to any of this music . #tortillasoup #ancestors #gratitude #atlanta #freespirit #selfcare #selflove #peaceful #family #latino #solidarity #soulfood #spicy #heat #music #prince
I had a relaxing evening spending time with my family , making homemade tortilla soup , and listening to my most recent Prince playlist for inspiration and added relaxation . The soup turned out delicious ! I posted the recipe in the comments of my last post . I don’t own the rights to any of this music . #atlanta #family #familytime #prince #tortillasoup #listen #ancestors #ancestorsoverreligion #mexicanfood #organicfood #ilovemusic #peaceful
