Das’ Essay: “Validity of Modern Rap”
Das shared an essay he wrote for an assignment in his English class. I'm incredibly proud of him! As with everything in this world, emerging Music is one thing that is constantly evolving with new sounds and ideas coming to the forefront fairly often. These evolutions aren’t always openly welcome despite the frequency. The genre... Continue Reading →
Trigger Part 1
So I must admit ... I wasn't a big fan of Prince when Torey and I met and I blame that on my upbringing! My fam had deep seeded roots in support for MJ so I was led on a biased based mentality (no knock on my loved ones by the way!). The summer I... Continue Reading →
Memory/Challenge
I just started watching CNN's Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy and it's been great! I'm two episodes in. Watching it made me realize how heart broken I was of learning about Anthony Bourdain's death. Torey was there that morning as we were getting ready for work. I was sitting on our bed and scrolling through... Continue Reading →
“Missing Who I Once Was”
Recently I posted how much I miss Torey and added something about missing who I once was. A friend, Suzanne, reached out to me and asked what I meant by that. I'm glad she asked me this because it made me put my thoughts into words: As far as “missing who I once was” –... Continue Reading →
Besides Actual Physical Pain…

#46’s Inauguration

I re-wrote the beginning of this post at least six times already… all I can say is, “Good riddance #45!” My goodness – the past four years have been the darkest in so many ways… I kept looking back on 45’s inauguration and how surreal it seemed. It... Continue Reading →
The Day Our Son Was Born (carrying on…)
I'm using this platform to share the story of the birth of Das ... I used to update this on Facebook but they no longer offer the Notes platform anymore! My son turns seventeen on 1.11.2021 and here's my memory: Back in January of 2004, we lived off of Chimney Rock & Highway 59 in... Continue Reading →
Birthday Reflection
Yes, today is my 44th birthday ... and I must say this was one of the toughest years of our lives. Yes, OUR lives ... I believe all of us had more than enough struggle besides just dealing with COVID. I'm not just talking about just loss and grief but everything else that comes along:... Continue Reading →
