We all love citing Karma as a reason for the random stuff happening in our lives. Most of us (self-included) don’t know the history or significance of this spiritual concept. Learning about Karma and how it works can be a total game-changer, peeps, so here’s what you need to know. Karma, like coffee, can be broken down into three types. Your current Karma (your beans du jour), accumulated Karma (the beans that make your existence in the universe complete), and your destiny (your choice of morning beans each day) are the three types of Karma – or possibilities in your life. Let’s begin with your accumulated Karma. These are the java beans in your soul. You have not decided yet how to brew them, but you started harvesting them anyway. It’s all about possibilities and what you may or may not experience. To be blunt, we have zero control over accumulated Karma; all those delicious beans, the good, the bad, the ones that are like Switzerland (neutral) grow at their own pace. Sometimes we get to experience the heady, fragrant joy of a fantastic brew, and other times, we wait for the sour taste of those burnt beans to leave…

Overcoming our regrets is not an easy process, but it is possible to allow ourselves a little grace and forgiveness.

This year has been a rough ride. Pandemic, divorce, teenagers – it was a lot to get through. But, I am in the midst of an arduous journey back to my SELF. For over 20 years, I was engulfed within someone else's world, barely able to squeeze a bit of my true self out through…

Sometimes, we all need a little boost. Something to improve our quality of life or our situation, but unlike updating your hard drive, the process is a bit more intensive. Or maybe it just seems that way. As sentient beings, we are always on the lookout for ways to improve ourselves. It's kind of a…

“You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want.” ―Margaret Young Most of us want to be successful, if not in monetary terms, then by our own definitions. Those of us who teach (and have side hustles) want to feel a sense…

Hello peeps, and Happy Monday! "Wah gwaan widyuh todeh? Everything criss?"*Nope, I didn't step off another planet – just greeting my lovelies in patois. This post literally wrote itself after an odd exchange with my work colleagues. But more on that in a few. This has been a pretty good week. The sun is out,…

Summary: When Theo and Liddy Phillips retired to the small Georgia town of Shiloh, they expected a quieter, more relaxed life. When Theo becomes the investigative reporter for the local Sentinel, he discovers that small towns can be just as dangerous as big cities for people devoted to seeking the truth. Having narrowly escaped a brush…

Hey there peeps! I hope you all had a good week and are recharged for this one! Doesn’t it seem like New Year’s and all those plans you were thinking of was about a zillion moons ago? All the dreams, the wants, the little tweaks for 2020…So much has changed, and then again, not really.…

"Hello, hello,hello….is anybody out there?" Pink Floyd had the right idea. It's been much longer than I thought, but now it's time to resurrect this blog. The beans are grinding, the water poured, and my freshly brewed views are steeping along with my umpteenth cup of java juice.So, where have I been? Let's see, jumping…

Hi! And welcome back! It’s been a tough year, but MBB is ready to roll. I had to get the hang of the classroom again, but now that summer is here (WOOHOO!) and almost gone (BOOHOO!) I am prepared to write, write, write. Ten years was a long break from teaching, but, like many things…

And…I’m back. I find that I need more breaks between posts lately, and I humbly beg forgiveness. It’s been a busy couple of months, and all my stuff has fallen to the wayside because of my new job. Yes, you read that correctly, new job. And hence, this post sort of formed itself. As we…
