My firstborn flew the nest this past weekend and my middle will be following suit at the end of the month. It’s quiet in the house. I like it. This is what you raise your children to do. But my heeeaaaarrttttt…it’s bittersweet to know that chapter of my life with them is over.

Just finished THE LAMB by @lucyrosecreates.bsky.social. So beautifully and heartbreakingly written. I’ll never forget it. 😪🥩💔

Two pairs of eyes meet.

One peeking out from a dusty bin situated among others.

Sentient eyes ask, “How’d you end up here, nameless, forgotten? Will this too be my fate?”

Vintage eyes reply, “I am communing with you now am I not? #Death is a ruse. The spirit is abiding.”

An erotic life isn’t one deduced from sexuality. Eroticism at its core is the feminine life force alchemized by moments of presence, joy, and knowing. 🧵

I cut my hair short last year and it’s finally growing back. I don’t feel like myself with short hair. Glad to be turning a corner 😊. #LeoProblems

A no-spoiler mood board Grady Hendrix’s WITCHCRAFT FOR WAYWARD GIRLS.

As someone who felt ostracized when I was 19 and pregnant in 2001, I can only imagine how girls felt in the 60s.

I already miss Fern and the girls 🥺

Their only aspiration in life is to hoard money and power. Qué lástima. Couldn’t be us 💅🏼

Let’s finish the (work) week strong. Find a moment of joy, a moment to create. They can’t have it all!

Stayed at the new Visitation Hotel last night 🖤. Former monastery and all-girls Catholic school. Used as an asylum for the sick during the Civil War. 125 nuns buried in site.

Hi! 👋🏼 I’m Vashelle. I’m a forty-something who loves to be be out in nature, antique shops, museums, haunted buildings.

I’m a wife, mom, and more recently, a grandma!

I think music and dancing are among the greatest human pleasures.

I love to read, write, and ponder…

Let’s be Bluesky friends! 💙

This was a flash fiction story I submitted to @crystallake.bsky.social’s Shallow Waters challenge a few years ago. I love writing and reading flash fiction cause my attention span is merp…

I feel vulnerable sharing this, but here’s a short story I wrote a couple of years ago when I randomly channeled an elderly white man 🙈.
