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.

Friday . Chill mode . Madre . SUN ☀️
Wednesday 14 March 2k18: Stephen Hawking’s “death” day, and a cool flock of birds that put on a show just for me . I love it when the universe gives me signs , gentle nudges of encouragement that let me know I’m in the right place at the right time , on the right path . It’s my path ; it’s as unique to me as your path is to you . It’s just the little things , like birds dancing just as I exited my building , thinking of an amazing person’s life and legacy . #stephenhawking #atheist #nature #beauty #love #peace #freedom #spiritual #awakening #journey #conscious #community #life #live #thrive #alive #science #oxford #england #beautiful #mind #power #human #spirit #expanded #consciousness #awareness #birds #animaltotem #spirituality #nerd #nobodyeverreallydies
When you’re so disgusted by dirty things and so damned grateful for a quick automatic car wash, because that means you only have to wash the dog. I mean. To wash both in one weekend is overwhelming. I’m grateful for the small things. I’m grateful for the sake of being grateful, all the time. One day life is gonna kick your ass up and down your block and all around your city like you stole something. On that day, I have one piece of advice for you to appease whatever god/ess/es rule your world: Express gratitude. 🌸🙏🏽♥️💥✨✨✨ #saturday #carwash #gratitude #discocarwash #chilipeppers #musicismyaeroplane #thegetaway #random #celebratelife #smallthings #always #express #gratitude #attract #blessings #abundance #enjoytheride
I ♥️ Nola Darling‼️ Greer: Am I supposed to cry or something? Nola: You’re not supposed to cry. Greer: Well I hope not, because I don’t shed a tear for NOBODY. Omg tears 😂 1986. The original “She’s Gotta Have It,” the first of many Spike Lee joints. You know what’s hilarious? As a teenager I thought all of these men were so unappealing—especially Greer. Now Greer looks so much better—on the outside, anyway ‼️Our tastes in romantic partners really do change as we mature. Interesting. I also appreciate the content much more than I did in adolescence. #shesgottahaveit #spikelee #hilarious #greerisanasshole #teamgreer #noladarling #classiccinema #afro #american #cinema #classic #goforthandswirlgreer
Post-color and pre-color. As per the usual, I lift my naturally dark hair to blond (at least partially) and then deposit semi-permanent red color. I feel most like myself when my hair is red or blond. I love my natural hair. And I already miss my braids. #naturalhair #natural #afro #love #growitout #blowitout #curlygirls #girlswhowearglasses #redhair #glassesaresexy #selflove #celebratediversity #multiethnic #browngirls #browngirlsrock #ilovemyhair #naturalistas #naturalbeauty #nomakeup
