I am a writer and applied mathematician. I am an introvert who loves writing and sharing my words with the world. Poetry saved my life on so many different occasions so I know that words are incredibly powerful. I just want to be a source of light in this very dark world. The Introvert’s Escape Maneuver is my way of navigating life. Free-Thinking Fridays are the creative's playground. I post poems, think pieces and prose. Self-Love Sundays are when I post motivational pieces about life and the practical applications of Self-Love.

Another Friday

Happy Free-Thinking Friday!! I’m exhausted and hopeful but I’m taking hold of the 24 hours that make today in an effort to make the most of it!

Simple Ways to Practice Self-Love

Happy Self-Love Sunday! I’ve learned that small changes in your daily life (over time) can make a huge shift in your Self-Love Journey.

She is…

She is everything she’s ever wanted to be and she is headed towards exactly who she needs to become. She deserves affirmation. Affirm yourself today because you deserve it too.

Hands

Warm palms, soft hands and strong women have shaped my entire existence. The hands of the women who hold me up has taught me all I need to know about Self-Love. Don’t forget to cherish the women in your life and love them deeply.

I Do Not Feel Heard

There are still parts of myself that I am learning to heal on a daily basis. This week I realized that. I hope this post resonates with you.

Pause

Today’s post contains the musings of a woman still defining “Self” and “Love” and more importantly, “Self-Love”

Anxiety and Depression

This Free-Thinking Friday post is a poem I wrote last year about two entities I know too well, Anxiety and Depression.

Rewiring our Brains

Self-Love calls us to positive and affirming thinking. Let’s all agree to putting in effort to rewire our brains to more positive thinking.

Grieving

I’m learning to grieve & my humanity shapes my ability to do so. This Free-Thinking Friday post is composed of the words that have been floating in my mind. I hope you can resonate with them.

The Letter I’ve Needed to Read

I wrote an open letter to myself because there were just some things I needed to express and understand. I admonish you to start the healing process by forgiving yourself today.
