He Taught Me How To Sing A Praise Song
This playlist is a collection of gospel songs I cannot deny. Songs that move my soul and ignite my spirit. Lost in these songs, I realize I am never alone. Neither are you.
February Book Club
Books have this distinct ability to draw an automatic connection between two people. It’s kind of like the “smokers” section… but way cooler. I’m beginning to discover that if I’m meeting someone for the first time and we can find a mutual interest in a particular book we’ve read, it’s an automatic jumpstart on the relationship.
To Bae, On Valentine’s Day
This year I’m celebrating another Valentine’s Day without you, but I cannot wait to spend a lifetime of them with you in our future. I imagine waking up next to you on this special day and thanking God. I will thank him for every year I woke up alone because it was that time that he was preparing us both. I will look over at you while you are still sleeping but I say a quick prayer over you.
You’re Too Picky
I usually meet that comment with my normal eye roll and a fake chuckle. I’m so used to hearing it now that I’ve actually thrown out my entire defense. I’m sad to admit that as much as I hate that “picky” label, I just quietly accept it. I’m told my tastes will mature as I get older. I won’t care about things as frivolous as clean sneakers or how he says goodbye when he hangs up the phone.
This Is 31.
Today, I turn 31 years old. I told myself I was going to keep the number associated with this birthday quiet, but I’ll be honest, as ugly as the number sounds. I’m excited to see what 31 brings.
Letters From An Ex
We began talking and quite frankly I can't remember much of the conversation, but a bit out of nowhere she asked me "Do you still miss him Ashley?"
Burning The Midnight Oil
Last month, I was complaining to a coworker about how I had felt like I would look up after 3-4 hours of work and feel like I accomplished about 10% of what I had imagined. She quite enthusiastically recommended that I give the Pomodoro technique a go.
The Oprah Rose Show
The juxtaposition between being a spiritual and sexually liberated woman is that at some point you’re gonna end up on both knees. Join Tiara and Gena as they discuss sex, Drake, religion and everything in between on The Oprah Rose Podcast.
Mercury In Retrograde
*Note: this data is a collection of a semi thorough google search. It’s a combination of the most frequently occurring dates & signs. I’m not an astrologist, please do not come for my Retrograde facts.
This ISN’T 30. Or is it?
I’ll be honest, this isn’t what 30 looked like in my dreams. It doesn’t fit in with the countless vision boards I’ve crafted since I was old enough to use scissors.
