Why Confessions?

When the idea of “Confessions” came to me, I couldn’t just see it from a religious or secular perspective, but rather, the best of both worlds.  Being intellectual, creative throughout life has allowed me to develop healthy alternatives to life’s struggles, and take my personal healing experiences, and put them into words or visuals.  As […]

CONFESSION: BELONGING IS NOT DETERMINED BY THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE WORLD AROUND US, NOR THE PEOPLE IN IT.

Inspired by wisdom quotes from the great Brene Brown: author, professor, and podcaster most known for her work on shame and vulnerability. “People might mock, reject, or dismiss you because your courage and resilience challenges their unwillingness to face their own insecurities. Often times, those people who harshly criticize you, may also point to the […]

Scar: Evidence of the Overcomer

SCAR: “a mark left on part of the body after an injury, such as a cut, has HEALED” (Cambridge Dictionary, 2025) Scars can be mental, emotional, spiritual, and most visible, on the body.  Don’t confuse scars with brokenness. They are just proof that someone got hurt, healed, and became whole again to walk the Earth […]

CONFESSION QUOTES: “I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up alone.  It’s not.  The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel alone” – Robin Williams

Most men are THINKERS and doersMost women are FEELERS, also doers Men weren’t meant understand women, but to LOVE and LEAD them. Women weren’t intended to only love, but to RESPECT and VALUE a man. We […]

Peace as a Choice, Not a Result

There are so many processes that are present when we go through trials of life, challenges, happiness, or sadness; it does not matter in the least. Particularly, regarding the depths of my own mind, just as my soul, this remains a mystery to me, and at times, a burden. Yet, in that space, I find […]

The Monster

I find it funny I’m the monster in everyone’s story Constantly under attack while others get the glory While I’m still suffering picking up the pieces It continues to drain the life out of me sucking me dry like leeches No longer here and without their physical presence Their darkness lingers even in the absence. […]

CONFESSIONS FROM THE BHT MANSION: It just got real

“Let me give you the tour,” said Ms. Charmaine. That was the second phase after intake of what I am calling the BHT Mansion. BHT is used in this context to describe behavioral health therapy. This type of care refers to “the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions related to mental health such as substance […]
