Life Diaries 💘
My greatest joy is intangible. I find it in the creative spirit of Brian McKnight’s The Only One For Me.
Briefly I am detached from life and fully immersed in the song’s ecstasy. The vocals are rich in soulfulness coupled with a joyful blend of piano, guitar, drums, and xylophone. This song is love in sonic form. The arrangement demonstrates an ethereal harmony between instruments and vocals.
The nostalgia is so rich, offering a breathtaking familiarity that medicates me. With older parents came a natural appreciation for soulful music growing up. This to me is the gift of life, those artistic gems that find you through timelessness in times of human vulnerability.
Music is my safe space and Earth’s heavenly complement. Through it my soul is cleansed of anxieties, disappointments, and the shock element of life’s detours. The reunion of my soul and creativity is the coexisting blessing of life’s mayhem. I have gratitude for that balance.
When I am most vulnerable, life reminds me of how soothing it is to hear a song, pick up the camera, or put the pen to paper. Lately music has been the remedy. The rhymes and chorus of The Only One For Me all stem from love. They express tenderness so poignantly. How refreshing it is to see the humane aspect of music preserved.
There is no degradation, or swearing, merely love and an appreciation of women expressed. When paired with the enriching instrumentals I am reminded how ideal a formula music is for the human spirit. Brian McKnight possesses a gorgeous tenor range complemented by a stunning falsetto ability. This is the finishing touch that brings the music together.
My enjoyment of this work of art is strongest during solitude. When the world’s weight is out of my system I am in the rich possession of my heart. I am enamored with its unison with the art that resonates most.

Ms. Monet is a legend in her own right, highlighting the innovativeness of the black spirit & the distinct impact of black artists.
Solitude: Embracing Twenty Eight
In my quiet time with God, I realize that much of the journey lies within. With that awareness comes relief and the redirection of my focus.
Endlessly I am reminded not to seek externally for anything because God stamped his excellence onto me. That clarity infiltrates my spirit in divine timing, as it is easy to fixate on life’s grind and chaos.
What a treat it has been to tune into me. Lately I have been communing with my heart, and examining its guidance.
What’s more, I’ve been marinating in the fact of my existence, with mere appreciation for my being. Additionally, I have offered myself the gift of self-trust, the ultimate gem I could have as an adult and parent.
I view my life as one long dance with the Holy Spirit. The intersection of God’s leadership and my introspection lies within my craft.
God’s influence is often my muse for writing, photography, or any other form of expression.
I am always inspired to translate his guidance or the inspiration he gifts me for my art. I know he’d want me to translate the joyous ways my soul resonates with the life and world around me. So I will use his gifts to do so.
The journey inside becomes addictive due to its peace. I’ll be reveling in my inner light endlessly, as I have found a home there.
Earth Angel
Thoughts of my Earth angel linger. He was my first safe space after the chaos of 2024. I have been enamored with his touch, his eyes, & the way he danced.
I am stuck on his beautiful skin, tatted & adorned with gold. He was my favorite expression of a black man.
Eventually I had to go home to me, so I could learn how to let go, and outgrow my own patterns. More than anything I had to progress further down my path to find I could blossom without him.
I have missed him, but the divine in me has restored me. What is touching to me is I can still feel him. He’s resides nicely in my memory, sprinkling light into my path when I need elevation.
I believe the light in me recognized the angel in him and found a home in that. Ultimately, that is what he was meant to be for me.
We came from different worlds, but our spirits blended sweetly & beautifully.
Home is Where the Soul is Happy
I have become the muse of my heart, and the warmth is incomparable. Every man I’ve loved lit the road home to me & I am staying put.
Coming out of an engagement, I was cautious with my heart, but still tested the waters with casual dating, only to find I wasn’t missing much.
Now that my heart has reached its capacity, there is no better time to love me at the highest extent.
There is no need to think, “screw you” or “kiss my ass.” It was all an avenue to self-love.
What a wholesome path, tremendously pure and free of drama. Through it I feel empowered to be comfortably alone. The growth is too stellar for me to revert to old habits and patterns.
My new normal is leaning into my own divine embrace, a gift I didn’t know I possessed. Time I would spend texting with another, is time I devote to self-exploration: What does self-expression mean to me? What is the best means of caring for my mental health? I’ve put myself and needs on the pedestal I once so freely gave away.
For the first time in my 28 years, I am taming that animal in me, who falls victim to the enticing nature of a man or the illusion of external love.
My spirit can finally breathe and decompress. That’s the deeper stable love I’ve been craving and pursuing.
God’s love takes the cake. He is in my deepest peace and answered prayer.
God has restored me to my original loving essence, one loving thought at a time. He manifests through mindfulness, presence, patience and trust, values I am still reacquainting myself with but committed to achieving.
There is no superior union than the one I share with him. So, when I detach and transform my experiences through a mindful lens, I find I’m too elevated to dwell on pain.
Soul Sunday
Jhene’s Guidance is the perfect mix of softness, soulfulness and raw honesty. Her command of sound hits different.
The words, melodies and her angelic vocals are the sonic version of sunlight.
She is in a league of her own, expressing herself freely and celestially.
What a poignant storyteller Jhene is. Her narratives of love, loss, and healing are narrated through a truthful but loving perspective. Her higher consciousness and enlightened nature come through.
Through sound healing, she lives beautifully in her calling, holding it down for R&B.
Jhene’s walk with God is conveyed through her music beautifully. She embodies love, and it is refreshing how lifted she is.
Loving Thoughts to Luna
Our lives are enriched by the love flowing into our paths. This journey is enveloped in God’s illumination. He talks to me about you, tells me to give you the best. Writing to you allows me to be still and present, capturing the nuances that make this great.
I am loving age two. I love that you are loving school and beginning to expand your vocabulary. You are so creative, and your expression will continue to blossom. It is clear you have a mind of your own and your individuality is beautiful.
You have a gem of a personality & you make life good. No matter how challenging it gets, I know I was made to love you. I am still basking in the aftermath of your second Christmas and birthday. The love you received surfaced from all angles, infusing your sweet pure spirit with natural highs. You deserve that.
Each second with you is sacred and I revel in the honor of loving you. Before you found a home in my womb, your first home was my heart. I always knew my first child would be a girl, and I’d often imagine the love I’d experience with you.
Now you’re here with me. I have to pause and meditate on that fact to really take it in, showing God I am so grateful for gift that is you. We are growing together. Through you God is prospering me.

Life Update
Next to childbirth, The erasure of my family was the biggest change I’ve undergone. Though the initial split brought a sense of relief, the aftermath mirrored hell.
The start of the journey entailed a deep questioning of what the new normal would be, and a struggle to process and decipher the lessons and logic. Often I questioned if the road ahead entailed constant war with my coparent.
Additionally, I have questioned the role I have played in the fracturing of our union. I’ve wondered how one balances self-care while still maintaining selflessness, so the child thrives. Above all, I have wondered endlessly how to reconnect with love and find the humanity in the other party post destruction. Throughout the transition, I’ve sought peace and understanding.
It is empowering to admit that new territory is frightening. Acknowledging that within myself gives me strength. Being a young mother who is now carrying much of the load alone is not what I anticipated.
I do know however that God has kept my child and me because I see illumination on the horizon. That light has taken various forms. Recently, I was gifted a profound sense of peace. It occurred to me that I have gained a sense of normalcy, and it feels like baby and I are finally settling in.
There is a level of comfortability I can now embody that I didn’t have at the start of our transition. Because of this awakening, I know I am living in a prayer.
When I first left Denver, in a moment of vulnerability I expressed to someone verbatim “I feel like my world is upside down.” What once felt like uncertainty and confusion, is becoming a fulfilling rebirth, as I’ve achieved newfound resilience and inner power.
Experiencing dysfunction with your life partner does a number on your spirit, and I know that feeling is mutual. I am aware that regardless of where both sides went wrong, we are both dealing with a profound level of pain for different reasons.
It has been cleansing to the soul however, realizing I am no longer lost and without direction. I now see the journey God has designed is gorgeously manifesting. I know that I can find my footing throughout the chaos of parenting, relationships and life in general.
Throughout my co-parenting journey, a range of human emotions consumed me, most notably anger, worry and hostility. The gift however, is their gradual conversion to prayers prayed and compassion felt for the other parent. This alone has alleviated the mayhem in my spirit and helped smooth the road to repair and restoration for our family.
Remnants of fear that lingered in my psyche are converting to excitement for a chance to lean further into my new life. The more time that passes & the more blessings that appear, the stronger my confidence becomes in myself, life and God.
My biggest gain has been the alchemy of victimhood into a reveling in the empowerment of newfound strength. Now that I see what life has for me as a mom, I appreciate the universality of womanhood, motherhood, and a woman’s tenacity.
As always, I am grateful for my child. This is the sweet young soul who tags along with me through life. She is resilient, tough, and the excellence she exudes astonishes me. It thrills me to witness how God has crafted her.
In my quest to find my way, I’ve contemplated ways to explain our family dynamic to her. Through therapy and introspection, I’ve learned that love is the key. I can immerse her in love completely, and love her through life regardless what happens between her father and I. The bottom line is that she is treasured from both sides no matter what. This will always be proven to her.
She is the realist love I’ve known, and she deserves the highest good.
Finding My Spirituality: New Age Faith
The makings of my spirituality coexist nicely. The connectedness of my personal walk with God and conventional practices evokes deeper exploration.
Organized Religion
The universality of religion and Catholicism has been refreshing to discover. Since I relocated from Denver, I have met others of the same faith as me. Sharing and resonating with their holiday and churchgoing traditions is a pleasant experience.
I grew up in the Catholic Faith but as an adult, strayed from it to examine what truly resonated with my heart. Since reconnecting with church and religion in recent years, I have found a great sense of community which I’ve come to appreciate.
The recalling of my rediscovery of church and religion is remindful of my daughter’s baptism into the Catholic church. I wholeheartedly feel that was one of the best gifts she has received. Even if my baby gravitates towards a different faith as she grows, I am thrilled about an introduction to God and community was established for her.
Above anything it is empowering as her mother that through her baptism she awakens to the Holy Spirit dwelling in her. Knowing my child is covered and connected to God in some capacity gives me peace of mind as her mother in the chaotic world we’re in.
The Power Within
I was always advised to keep a mind of my own when it came to spirituality. My journey entails a beautiful blend of conventional and traditional wisdom from church and biblical teachings as well as my own gems I’ve discovered personally.
I do not discount the traditional sources of spiritual wisdom, as I have found great strength and peace in the scriptures of the Bible. Jeremiah 29:11, Psalm 23, and Corinthians 13:4 have been heavily applicable to my life.
I am however aware of the potential for religion and the Bible to be misused and weaponized. I don’t believe God’s loving voice to be one of hate, condemnation or judgement. That is when I stray and find refuge in my personal path with him.
In doing so, I’ve discovered many spiritual texts and practices that deeply feed my being. One of the most healing elements of my routine is journaling. Sitting with my being and communing with my own inner priesthood, a term coined by spiritualist Janet Oconnor, is extremely soothing.
This practice connects me with my intuitive abilities which reminds me of the Conversations with God book series. An idea presented in these texts is that God communicates with us through feeling, and I have resonated profoundly with that as I believe his guidance materializes through my introspective discoveries. In essence, spirituality is about what profoundly speaks to me and touches my inner most being.
Additionally, I know that heaven looks out for me. I feel ancestral energy guiding me and I’m becoming more relaxed about that discovery. Battling mental health, learning how to parent better, and navigating the frustrations of parenthood have left me feeling fragile and defeated at times.
Through it all I’ll experience a memory or have a dream of a deceased loved one accompanied by distinct peace and bliss. That feels like a token of heaven assuring me that I am guided, protected and okay.
One of the most rewarding components of my faith is my openness to other means of divine connection. Interspirituality is the term for this, and I see it manifesting nicely in my life. I was baptized as a Catholic, but I have found an interest in Buddhism. Much of Buddhist literature entails interesting philosophies such as the root of human suffering, that id appreciate knowing more about.
Ultimately, spirituality is an endless journey of exploration and deep learning for me. Currently, my biggest revelation is that God‘s plan may look and feel different but it is much more enriching to the plans I’ve created.
I view my life as one fluid walk with God. Every decision I make is anointed by his divine instruction.
Women Empowerment Essay: Famous Women in History
The old-fashioned Hollywood bombshells are perfect expressions of female complexity. I am quite taken with the depth and influence of these women beyond their sex appeal and glamor. Dorothy Dandridge & Lena Horne initially come to mind. Both actresses and singers of the 1950s &1960s, these two were stunning expressions of talent, beauty and black human complexity.
Born within five years of each other, both women amazed me with the prominent parallels of their artistic journeys. Beauty was only one element of the equation, as the influence of these women held great magnitude. Firstly, their influence was instrumental in the inclusion of black people in entertainment, and the achieving of justice for blacks.
With Dandridge being the first black female Oscar award recipient , and Horne’s activism in and out of the industry, these two were absolute trailblazers. The icing on top was their ethereal external beauty, which made them the black community’s answer to iconic stars like Marilyn Monroe & Jayne Mansfield who were both exceptionally stunning white women.
Monroe and Mansfield were breathtaking expressions of a similar blonde aesthetic, executed in their own unique ways. An actress and the other a playboy playmate of the 50s and 60s, I am intrigued that two different souls could identically portray the same aesthetic of white beauty. As striking as Mansfield and Monroe were, however, it is refreshing to have Dandridge and Horne representing for black women.
Lastly, I think about Evelyn Washington, commonly known as Cocoa. She is truly breathtaking and drop dead gorgeous! have never seen a beauty of the contemporary world like her. Known for her outspoken and authentic digital content, she’s truly a gem to keep up with online! What floors me the most is her inner beauty and her unapologetic expression of what makes her human.
In the years I have followed Cocoa, she has been so open about mental health, her walk with God, and navigating human flaws and embracing them. She embodies the qualities of an exemplary woman including beauty, confidence, warmth & complexity. Above anything she is authentic.
The further I progress into my womanhood, I find great inspiration in the women who embody their higher selves, historically and in the present. What fascinates me most are the various parts of feminine allure, beyond the exterior.

Honing Internal Light
Self Love
I am the sole nourisher of my heart. And the most powerful thing I can do is love myself. Human love can be rapturous and complicated, so lately I’ve been my best companion. What a gift it is to know the joy of dating myself.
I often commune with God, and that presence guides me tremendously. I’m encouraged to devote my heart to motherhood, my artistry and nourishing my overall wellbeing. That has been the most healing counsel I could receive.
Divine Instruction & Shifts
I’ve channeled so much of myself into relationships and men. So much of my time has gone to imagining my life with someone else and wondering who my forever person would be. Renouncing that allows me to know the freedom of solely loving me. & that insight came from God so I know through life he is prospering me.
I am fueling the passions that activate my inner light, like motherhood, creativity and my spirituality. Experiencing the child I have is the closest thing to knowing Heaven. My creative journey gives me a rush that no drug could ever. Lastly, my spiritual path has brought me the closest I’ve ever felt to God.
Journaling is such a sacred practice of mine. This is the practice that reveals my soul’s deepest insights. I feel that process intersects me with God’s loving embrace. That form of love is endless and it has been more than enough!
Mindfulness & Meeting Myself Further
I find myself being more patient with life. It’s nice to slow down and abdandon the tendency to rush. I want to savor the seconds, minutes and hours knowing life through this spirit. My soul won’t experience the same moment twice so it’s important to be present and mindful.
As an artist, the inspiration bug always bites me. There is always an idea or some form of mental imagery I’m working to express through my writing or photography. The creative process of bringing inspiration to life is euphoric! Lately though, I’m preserving some of that excitement by taking more social media breaks and detoxing from my phone.
I believe that is God’s guidance to just sit with myself and bask in the creator that is me. Some moments are just meant to be shared between us only. I am blessed to know the gift of self expression, and I trust that I am translating my soul effectively, so that my words can align me with the souls that resonate. However it is, a pleasure to enjoy my art at the individual level.
Soul Reflections: Life Update
Starting Over: Single Motherhood
The nurturing spirit of God’s leadership inebriates me. I've entered a space where only he and I dwell. This keeps me centered so I can approach this chapter.
Single motherhood is not the life I imagined or expected; however, I’ve embraced it in full. Female independence is empowering. It’s a process of God illuminating the innate power a woman holds and pours into her dependents.
It is liberating to stop needing someone else to step up, and astonishing when you see what you're made of. I am fulfilled when the fruits of my labor manifest in a happy, healthy child.
This new chapter is beautiful, but it is not without sadness. I am working to grasp how mutual pain exists where love once resided. Admittedly I question if it ever even was love. I pray God helps me reconnect with love as a means of repair, if that’s what’s meant to happen. My ultimate priority is peace.
I can’t deny the reality of fears I've had given the need for black fathers in the home. I reflect on my own experiences in relationships and consider the example and patterns I'd like to establish in response to the change in my family dynamic.
Above all, I wish for my child to have a healthy relationship with herself and men: free of abuse and dysfunction of any form while remaining fully aware of her worth. Honestly, it tugs at my heartstrings and chokes me up when I imagine a potential void she may feel.
However, God advises me that I should be grateful for the lessons, and to find solace in the fact that I am the perfect woman for this job. That epiphany is healing!
Embracing Change
Truthfully, I’m enamored with what the transition has blossomed into. Our routine fulfills me. During the week, I take her to school so I can work on my writing projects. Her school is a gift because everyday she brings home new artwork and new knowledge of all she’s learned.
She is well cared for and exceptionally intelligent. My baby is learning so much about herself, academics and getting better acquainted with the world around her.
& She is all smiles at pick up and drop off so I’m confident that the care she’s receiving is pristine. The best of all is that I feel my heart expanding, with every laugh, and gasp of amazement she blesses me with as I watch God prosper her.
I pray he continues to do so through me, and her community. Gratitude overflows from my spirit at the support I've received from my dad, brother, and mother at this time.
Further, the additional family who has poured into my child’s sweet spirit with endless love and affection has been the cherry on top. She eats it up, and with as precious as she is, she deserves it.
The greatest solace of all resides in my certainty that renouncing my old life and starting over was the right decision. I remain unwavering in that faith.
Dating, Healing & Black Love
In the early stages of this new life, I tried my hand at love again with the most beautiful black man I’ve known. I mean he was just breathtakingly beautiful in essence and presentation. What is even more heavenly is the feeling of detachment from something I thought I'd always be bound to.
Our chemistry was addictive so I ignored all other signs of incompatibility until I was forced to let go of our potential to be together. I am thankful for his love but even happier to have come home to myself to review the insights I gained.
The most prominent of them all is I should never be so hooked on someone else’s energy that I can’t feel my own.
My experiences with men have catalyzed the road home to myself. And while letting go is painful, so much of the divine perfection of God’s plan is manifesting. This makes the journey worth it. Being newly single has its perks however I’m using it wisely and responsibly to nurture my perception of self.
My solitude has brought me closer to the cathartic properties of art and expression, and I believe God has me divinely where I should be. Relationships do not always work out but it is reassuring that I can endlessly bask in the depth of my own heart, imagination and spirit.
The art I have immersed myself in has felt like a church, or just a sacred space to commune with the divine in my life. Essentially my expressive zone has been my favorite form of self love. What is better than using your creative gifts to nourish the heart?
This has been such a healing experience for me, and it’s preparing me for love that is fresh, novel and divine.
Being open to something new is actually very exciting to think about, and I’ll be happy to approach it from a healed space. I believe I could welcome new energy into my life with ease and without being a hostage of the past.
It’s rewarding when the nurturing spirit of a black man supplements the joy you pour into yourself. So, I’ll be waiting patiently for mine.

This man’s falsetto range mirrors that of Maxwell and Prince.
Life Update: Self-Love Journal
There is a distinct peace and liberation of being newly single. This period in my life calls for introspection as I uncover the new lessons I’ve gained that are true gems of illumination, guiding me towards a life that resonates.
I can appreciate the way this last stint with love inspired a shift in values. This allows me to set new goals for myself and assess my values as a young woman. My greatest revelation was that more than anything I crave inner peace, independence, and stability, and sometimes those don’t identically correlate with a relationship.
Additionally, I've realized that relationships require space, boundaries, compatible communication styles, and inner work to be healthy. Timing is also crucial, allowing both parties to fully learn one another before going full force into commitments. Having these discoveries is incredibly enriching as I feel I’m much wiser and mentally equipped to love myself better.
Change can feel frightening in a lot of aspects, but simultaneously I feel so rich in growth, God’s illumination and life’s lessons as they’re serving as guidance in the present moment. This experience has given me an avenue to reconstruct a more aligned path for myself and I am immensely grateful.
Though partnerships can be a challenge, I’ve known love to be a riveting, thrilling adventure for the soul: like the butterflies that swarm when your hands touch for the first time, and you melt at how perfectly your hands fit together.
Or even more intimately, how your heart melts at the first signs of physical intimacy, like gentle shea butter foot rubs, or mesmerizing eye-contact, and a touch that makes your whole being tremble. Memories like these keep me from fully ruling out love and inspire me to be open to finding it again in the right timing. So, it's not all bad.
In a social climate that forcefully advocates for marriage as one’s main life goal, I'm excited to be patient with love, and further develop myself as an individual. Of course I didn’t anticipate finding myself single again, so now that I am, I want to be wise with it, savor it and be patient with love.

Eternal: Timeless Music
A screenshot of Eternal’s song played through Apple Music. The photo is not mine and is strictly used to show appreciation for their work.
The song is tear-jerkingly touching and beautiful. The blend of ethereal vocals, lyrics and instruments make it heaven in musical form. Twenty seven years later and this work of art is still novel and impactful. It is completely timeless, hence the group’s name Eternal.
The first verse is like ecstasy with celestial vocals evoking rapture. Angel of Mine is a gorgeous expression of love and completely ethereal. So soft, angelic, sweet, and wholesome, the track resonates deeply and radiates love, soulfulness, and depth.
The lyrics and vocals are rich with emotion coupled with a chorus that tugs at the heart strings. Soothing and sentimental, Eternal’s vocals permeate the heart and give one life. This is real music, true expression in the purest form.

Photo taken by Tynisha Keli: https://www.instagram.com/theetynishakeli/
Music industry veteran Tynisha Keli celebrates her hit I Wish You Loved Me achieving platinum status. An accolade as such is worthy of tremendous praise however this speaks volumes of Tynisha’s tenacity and her gifts of music and sound.
The New Bedford talent is an open book and has demonstrated vulnerability beautifully throughout her career. Through her platform she’s detailed the countless losses she endured both personally and professionally.
Despite her adversities with losing loved ones, battling mental health, and surviving injustices in the recording industry, her talent, gifts, and strength always transcend and persevere.
Divine timing is a truth of life, and this accomplishment couldn’t have occurred at a more fitting period in Tynisha’s reviving career.

There is no better way to commence her creative and musical renaissance than with fresh material. Though I Wish You Loved me is a timeless hit and a signature record for the New Bedford artist, Tynisha’s discography is a treasure chest rich with musical gems.
Troops, the artist’s distinct fan base, should not expect anything less than exceptional from the album.
Springtime with You
This is reminiscent of a dream. It feels perfect. That is how I know you’re from heaven. Moments with you make the heart content. I am savoring every aspect of our time together. We commence the first day of Spring with a morning at the park.
You explode with joy and a grin that spans from ear to ear. You love the swings, and I love you. Your joy and laughter stem from your purity and innocence. You are so inquisitive and crave exploration of the world around you. You wish to share your world with me, and others.
Every little finding, every little detail and nuance of your unfolding journey, you share it with me. It makes me melt. And I love that you’re demonstrating kindness in your own way. It is so easy to be attached to your infancy, and how fresh and novel you are to this world.
But I transform those feelings, by thanking God you’re advancing and gaining more life. Keep growing at your own perfect pace.
Self-Love Journal
I have been fascinated with self-love for some time now. It has been an ongoing process of discovering the heaven within myself and indulging in my inner divine playground.
Additionally, I’ve found it to be an ever-unfolding appreciation for myself and how my soul resonates with the world around me.
I have taken initiative by indulging my heart in all that is fulfilling, so it knows the highest extent of euphoria life offers. Assuming full responsibility for my joy is one of the most prominent themes of my self-love journey.
& The love itself isn’t even the highlight of it all, rather the epiphany that the source of it all is me. My writing provides a safe space to express transparency.
And admittedly I have undergone my phases where I believed I needed a partner to be the primary source of my excitement in life.
The more my self-awareness and self-knowledge expand however, I find my capacity to self-fulfill empowering. Learning the true essence of self-love fills me up greatly. & I am thrilled to endlessly explore the being within.
My hope is that love will dwell within me eternally, and that I will never stray from this exploratory path of my talents, creativity and God.
