I tried hitting the snooze button so I could get in my usual hour and a half of “meditation” but I had a serious case of the heebie geebies. My spirit let off an atrociously high pitched alarm saying GET THE F@#$ UP AND WRITE. There was no dodging it. While I thought I could, I stayed bitching in my bed for 10 minutes (don’t worry I’m already getting counselling) about this very topic. 
I know not everyone reading will be able to relate to this here topic. Many of us …

“We are naturally attracted to people with firm and clear boundaries, and we can’t help but treat them with respect. Boundaries are also the key to true intimacy. Without boundaries it is impossible to be truly intimate because it isn’t safe enough. If you are at some level, worried about getting hurt, you’ll put up barriers to protect yourself or keep people at a distance.”
At some level we all have in place boundaries. This becomes evident when someone rubs us the wrong way or when we loose our cool and …

Welcome to part two of my case study on Establishing Boundaries. Before any boundaries are established, it is essential that we first discover what our top four emotional and personal needs are. Once we have identified  what our needs are only then can we begin to set boundaries, which is the key step in helping us meet these needs.
Needs=Needy?
Kick that mentality to the curb!
To have emotional needs is human. Everyone has needs. Those who don’t appear needy have simply figured out how to fulfill them. If you want to attract …

I wanted to roll a copy of yesterday’s paper up into a tight newsprint boomerang and whip it at the head of Adam Giambrone, Kristen Lucas and maybe Sarah McQuarrie (I haven’t decided yet, but if she were around she’d get it just cause). Who are these targeted victims of the Goddesses’ wrath you ask?
Exhibit A: Giambrone is one of Toronto’s 2010 Mayoral candidates,
Exhibit B: McQuarrie is Giambrone’s long time partner (ride or die woman)
Exhibit C: Kristen Lucas Giambrone’s 20 year old fresh outta sweet valley high on the side …

I’m up a little too early on a Sunday but that’s all good, I’m excited! I’m single on a day that celebrates love and togetherness, but coincidentally I’m also single on Chinese New Years which according to tradition is a good thing, because single folks do not have to give out red envelopes with money- MO MONEY MO MONEY MO MONEY. Side note: I am part Chinese, I don’t just play one on TV. Thanks. 
Ok so I’ve been M.I.A this week, well that’s because I’ve been living in my cubicle …

I recently found myself in the passenger seat of an ex boyfriend’s car. I knew how the situation would play out. From the lyrics he would whisper stanza by stanza breaking it down with a hypnotic rhythm and bass in his voice that would pulsate deep into my eyes straight through down to my spinal cord. I predicted the direction he would plot the take down, moving in on the right, sneak a kiss etc. I knew he would raise my body temperature with the mere mention of the photos …

Sometimes we have to put ourselves on trial, I know I have lately. For what? Wellllll, I have recently come to terms with the fact that a close friend of mine has a drug addiction and has been performing sexual favors in exchange for drugs and money.
I am beyond heartbroken at the reality, but the cracks are quickly being sealed with logical cement.
I’ve spent countless hours strategizing, lecturing, and unfortunately aiding this addicted tortured soul. I haven’t handed this person drugs, pimped them out, or degraded them in any way…but …

I’ve been crying so much that there is a red circle around my eyes and its just burning. I’ve never cried so much in all my life. I have been in emotional agony for nearly a month and finally things came to a conclusion.
Hold up….Conclusion?
Yes, in a nutshell I bared my heart for someone and they were unable to reciprocate the way I had hoped. They took their time to think about what they wanted and what I meant to them …

Bag lady you gone miss your bus
You can’t hurry up
Cause you got too much stuff
When they see you comin
Niggas take off runnin
From you it’s true oh yes they do

It’s reflection Mondays. Ok not officially, but every time I sit at this keyboard to churn out a Monday post, I just start reflecting and my thoughts are so powerful, ahh *shrugs* it is what it is.
I am a recovering handbagaholic. The addiction got so bad that I threw out shoes when I last moved before I would ever …
