When I think about the moments in my life where I’ve lost focus or felt disconnected from myself, it was never because I didn’t have the right plan, routine, or goals.

That’s why vetting a partner isn't something to take lightly. When you’re building a life rooted in self-love, you simply can’t afford to invite in chaos wrapped in charm (or long strokes and a beard that connects… or a big booty and a pretty smile).

Over the years, watching and learning from men has taught me to move with more confidence, clarity, and ease.

I used to think unconditional love meant tolerating anything, that it was about enduring and accepting no matter what. But that’s not love—that’s self-abandonment.

As someone who has struggled with love and dating I have had to be advantageous in keeping an open mind.

The ability to attract what we desire in life is very real. It’s not as simple as some might lead you to believe. A manifestor knows the key to bringing what you want to fruition is all in what you think.

I closed myself off to Valentines Day over ten years ago to be honest. I spent many years avoiding the day all together.

Toxic behavior can appear in any of our relationships, but for now we will focus on intimate connections.

I don’t speak about my love life nearly enough. To my friends and family it has been this secret part of my life for a very long time. I’ve become increasingly private about my romantic relationships over the years.

This year I had to face the real reason why I don’t like Valentine’s Day. Although some of my reasons are valid (at least in my opinion).
