I'm an entrepreneur, a lover of life, a partner to the most amazing man I've ever met, an avid reader, a hiker, a cancer previvor, a traveler, a cook, and more.

I also have ADHD, and I'm an author, an educator, and a coach.

Got a new phrase for ya!

rebooty call
/ˌrēˈbo͞odē kôl/
noun
the contact made when a person, out of fresh dating prospects, suddenly recalls your existence and attempts to gaslight both of you into believing they never stopped being interested; may be via call, text, email, kik, etc.

New word, inspired by a conversation two nights ago.

romagination
/rōˌmajəˈnāSH(ə)n/
when one person’s “this is just how I date” smashes into the other’s “this is how I show deep commitment.” No one’s technically wrong, but someone’s definitely catching feelings they didn’t sign up for.

It's official! I'm a licensed unicorn hunter! 🤣

Ahem..quester.

Fill in the blank!

I swear, I am just ONE [fill-in-the-blank] away from swearing off dating forever!

Example:

I swear, I am just ONE "wyd?" away from swearing off dating forever!

🤣 🤣 🤣

It's snowy here in NC. Let's have some fuuuuuun!

Haven't been posting much. Have been doing art. Number 37 and counting in this series I've titled "The Whimsically Illustrated & Annotated Dictionary of the Utterly Ridiculous Things We Do for Love." *smiles*

Ugh! 💩 like this just pisses me off.

It’s the other side of “be more submissive” messaging sent to women, to create the full trap of “can’t win,” and they are trying to say that it’s women creating the trap for men.

A new work that made me laugh this morning. Wanna play along and use 'nexit' in a sentence? Here's another:

When I caught myself explaining basic human decency for the 3rd time, I hit the nexit button—I’m not running a seminar on empathy; I’m just trying to enjoy a cuppa tea and get boned.

Can I tell you something that no one likes to talk about?

Some of the BEST people at getting love...are the worst people. Well, those who are the most natural, anyway.

An essay. (1/7)

Thanksgiving today is me and my sweetie. I started with biscuits and gravy. He’ll be making shrimp and grits later.

And we may put together our new toy: a laser engraving machine.

Because this made me giggle...
November 27, 2024 at 2:50 PM
LOL! We all do it. Well, many of us do. Especially the creatives and the romantics.

Admit it. I know it's cringe.

The problem isn't that we do it. It's that we sometimes INVEST in it and believe in it...which is kinda like believing Rambo is real. Or pr0n.

Often happens after a breakup, but sometimes your true self comes roaring back while you're still in the relationship(s), leaving you wondering why you ever thought dimming your light was a good idea.

For the record, dimming your light to make a relationship work is NEVER a good idea. ❤️

Another in the series I've been working on. Something about this art is driving me.

I've already mentioned that I love words, and I'm passionate bout love, sex, and relationships. I enjoy being silly and creative.

But it could also be the is the most fun I've had avoiding reality in a while.
November 25, 2024 at 5:40 PM
Been working on this new series. I feel like I'm hitting my stride. Not only it is art and fun to make, but it's words and language and poking fun at the ridiculous things we do for love.

I'm hitting all my sweet spots.
November 22, 2024 at 4:58 PM
Unless that's your thing. No kinkshaming here.
November 20, 2024 at 4:05 PM
Started a new creative series. Relationship words we can all relate to (or at least recognize)...

I've definitely been known to give myself (and many other people living rent-free in my head) a good talking-to while I bask in the molten lava I call a shower.

Don’t you just love how red pill/blue pill is just reinterpretation of black and white thinking by incels?

• Men vs Women
• Dominance vs Submission
• Alpha vs Beta (vs Omega)
• High Value vs Low Value
• Peacocking vs Banality

WIP representing how even when we reach for a hand up, our deeply rooted beliefs keep us in place.

I'm working on a new book, Reject Me, Baby! How and why to get rejected more often for dating & relationship success.

As someone with ADHD and RSD, I've struggled with feelings of super-rejection, and being me, I wanted to know WHY this happens.

So, of course, I rabbit-holed.

It's funny, I do this with my writing much more than with my art, so here goes.

This is about how we build a home of our hurt and traumas. We carry them with us and live inside of them, use them for shelter, believing they protect us and that we cannot live without their burden.

If you’re reading this, you’ve survived everything that’s been thrown at you so far.

FUXK YEAH!

And you probably know that surviving isn’t the same as thriving.

They take different skills. Different mindsets. But you deserve both. We all do.

I wish you thrival. ❤️

He Who Dislikes Krispy Kreme is in FL visiting his mum. I thought it would be fun to get myself Krispy Kreme as a treat.

I learned:

1. I hate ordering doughnuts by drive-through.
2. Doughnuts cost over $2 per. 😫
3. Turns out, I also do not like Krispy Kreme doughnuts.

Spent this beautiful autumn day with a friend (and success story) shooting this promo video for one of my books.

I’m still giggling.
