Unphyl_tered
If you landed here welcome! Nothing is off the table. I will touch base on the good, bad, ugly and funny. Whether it’s about myself, friends, foes and this thing called Life. For me writing has always been my way of releasing stuff. So now I’m going to try and speak it. So hold tight and enjoy the ride!

3/30/24 - the year that should’ve broke me
This episode is about the 1 year anniversary of surrogates passing. April 1, 2023 is the day that changed my life as I knew it. I’m speaking specifics of that day and all that transpired in the days, months and year since. It’s a day I know I won’t forgot, but I’m not going to let it hold space moving forward. K bye!

3/19/24 - I want, but do I need?
It’s the want vs need battle. Trying to teach the girls to stop spending money on a want. One more so than the other. I’m right now battling a want not a need. But I don’t speed on myself like back in the day. So a want for me happens on a rare occasion. Let’s see how this plays out. K bye!

Hey y’all! This is a mashup of all things from this election year, that clown former president, Fani Willis, Amanda Seales & black spaces, my life and my sister’s impending wedding ( which I’m emotional about). It’s a catchup of sorts and things I want to dive into. So buckle up! K bye!

3/1/24 - I need to meet these young men

Too funny, but imma have fun until this happens. K bye!

2/22/24 - ReesaTeesa who?
First let me correct myself cause it’s ReesaTeesa not RessaTessa…lol!! It’s a story for the books, Tyler Perry, Netflix or Lifetime, but it’s 50 parts I can’t commit too. She hit the jackpot of all jackpots without playing the lottery. Her story is relatable for all those looking for love, marriage and babies. Now I’d say give it a listen, but don’t pass judgement. She’s already done that…..learn from her. We all put on blinders ( men & women ). Remember no one is PERFECT, no one. K bye!...

2/10/24 - Reflection
I’ve been reflecting on & off for weeks now regarding my life. Mainly, about how it’s changed. The traumatizing event of surrogates death and soon it’ll be one whole year. The Kid growing up and the other still trying to find her place. I’m sure come 4/1 I’ll sum up that year. K bye!

Today is senior picture day for the Kid. It was like a proud parent moment and I’m not her parent. I’m not ready, but I am ( not really ). I know come graduation day I’m going to be a crying mess for a whole lot of reasons. I love that Kid! K bye!!

Recapping the week as it’s been eventful. I’m recapping that life is life’ing, stress, the Kid, Oscar still White, POC hair still an issue, this Presidential election year, etc. Still trying to figure out how to do me with all I got going on, but I’ll figure it out. Peace out and stay safe….K bye!

1/25/24 - 10 yr old, Bumble….
We are failing our kids. I say we because don’t we say “ It takes a village “? How does a 10 yr old leave her home at 9pm? How does a 23 yr old upon meeting feel it’s ok to sexually assault a child? A Bumble account was made…by whom that hasn’t come out. Dating apps require you be 18+ to open an account. Parents stop being your kids friends and parent. Kids are out here having kids, acting like adults and navigating this world with no guidance. Pray for that child and others like her. https://ny...

1/24/24 - Stress on fleek
Yes, my stress is on an all time high and I’m hitting the gym more. So now I need to slow my roll…meaning take rest days. Not a day but days. I will because I really don’t need another person saying am I losing weight. Life is Life’ing and I'm not about to lose control over my well being. I’m good, so no worries. K bye!

1/17/24 - Iowa caucuses, Nikki Haley, racism, etc
It’s time I dive into the political circus of this coming presidential election. Now don’t get me wrong this circus is on both sides. Just more of a circus on the other with the puppet master leading his minions. This is all going to come down to YOU the people choosing right vs wrong and/or good vs evil. No one person is PERFECT so stop thinking so. They all LIE, but whose lies can you live with? Click the link below for more on Nikki Haley. K bye! https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/16/politics/nikki-...

12/27/23 ~ Was I the Grinch?
Be careful what you ask for, because the universe hears and will deliver. 2023 is going out with a bang and I hope we get on a better playing field come 2024. Christmas should have been a happy occasion for both but it wasn’t. She got a dose of ask and you shall receive. Unfortunately she’ll learn but it’s going to be the hard way. K bye!

12/8/23 ~ police, stun guns and POC
Todays episode is a day later and a dollar short. As I continue to voice, police brutality against black and brown people has not stopped. Here are two of I’m sure many incidents I’m highlighting today. Give a listen ( or not ) and click the links. Something has to give, because this right here is becoming or is the norm.

12/4/23 ~ You are not your sisters keeper
The Kid feels she needs to protect her sisters heart from heartbreak ( we ain’t there yet ) and to stop her from experiencing life as a 20 yr old. Mainly, because it’s putting her on the back burner. The Kid has been a caregiver since I’ve known her. She has to release that, because it should have never been her job. They both have life to live and experiences to learn. Buckle up cause y’all on this with me. Lol! K bye!

12/2/23 ~ can you give me words to make me feel better
That’s part of a long text the 20 yr old sent me yesterday. She needed to talk and asked if she could call me. She never has to ask, all she needs to do is call. The call lasted 2hr 27 mins and I think the last hr & 27 mins was all her. She’s fighting a demon ( her mom ) and holding onto trauma. Something I know her, the kid and myself need help with. 2024 we’ll work on that. K bye!

12/1/23 ~ Pick your poison
I say pick your poison, because with all the turmoil that’s happening in and around the world it’s hard. One of my poisons ( cause I have many ) is the NFL. With this new incident it continues to show me no change is being made. I will continue to Stand With Kap and if you continue to feel he’s unpatriotic lawd you’re sadly mistaken. But hey do you, cause I’ll always do me. K bye! https://abcnews.go.com/Sports/nfl-star-von-miller-arrest/story?id=105293362...

11/25/23 ~ Pandoras Box has reopened
The Cassie vs Diddy lawsuit got y'all splitting lines. Got y’all questioning her motives. Got y’all saying it’s a money grab, but wait y’all silent sorta regarding Diddy. Why? Cassie was 19, Diddy was 37….we not talking about that? Allegedly Misa ( first baby mama ) was 17 when she met Diddy, but had their son at 20 yrs old. Stop vilifying women for the things grown ass men are doing. Sheesh! https://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/diddy-cassie.pdf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...

11/20/23 ~ She got gifts
So the Kid turns 18 in two days and my supervisor sent her gifts. We all know what it means to get gifts for any occasion, but for the Kid this is new. She’s now part of a family that has traditions and does gifts. There’s no age limit, no cutoffs. So she’s getting excited and I’m excited for her. Bring on the gifts! K bye!!

11/7/23 ~ Did ya VOTE?????
It’s Election Day and I hope you rocked the vote. Let’s be clear a non vote is a vote. Laws are changing and rights are being stripped away. If you feel one vote can’t change anything you’re sadly mistaken. But a non vote changes a lot. Let that marinate in your brain. K bye! # govote
