How I almost drowned

I love a good quote.  Don’t believe me? Ask my Pinterest followers. And my Instagram followers. Ok, and my Facebook followers.  I am kind of obsessed. Guilty.  But, I have always marveled at the fact that in the matter of the 4…5 seconds that it takes to read a good quote that your mood canContinue reading “How I almost drowned”

Premature Goodbyes

Many of you know I am a pretty vocal person; especially when it comes to race related issues, but these past few weeks have left me speechless.  Literally I just am devastated by the message that is being sent to all the black men of this nation.  So instead of ranting I just want toContinue reading “Premature Goodbyes”

Lady of Rage

So today I found out I have an obsessive personality.  Here I go diagnosing myself again.  Why you may ask?  Let me tell you. When I like something I really like it! Like a lot.  In sixth grade I REALLY liked this guy.  He had a favorite rap song.  To impress him I learned allContinue reading “Lady of Rage”

Don’t sing happy birthday to me

While in a store I saw a pretty awesome device. I said “Gosh I need to find someone to buy that for as a gift”. Someone I met just that day looked at me and said “You!

Minute with Modo (#18): Existing to die

Minute with Modo (#17): Just Ask

I always thought negotiating meant rejection and I never wanted anyone to think I was ever saying No. Saying no inContinue reading “Minute with Modo (#17): Just Ask”

Minute with Modo (#16): Parenting multiple kids

What I’ve learned this week from having two kids under the age of 3: 1. You will say these words A LOT: wait, sit down, No, I love you, and fine you can have it. 2 You lie often…usually about what an item is that you are putting in your mouth or about the amountContinue reading “Minute with Modo (#16): Parenting multiple kids”

Minute with Modo (#15): Time flies

Time Flies Today at dinner, while our daughter slept (parents of small children know that deserves a whoop whoop); my husband and I talked about how fast life is moving now that we have a child. After some discussion we realized time wasn’t moving faster…not at all…our time just has more meaning now. I won’tContinue reading “Minute with Modo (#15): Time flies”
