Posted on August 21, 2024 by Real Women

Shopping. It just ain’t what it used to be.  I remember vividly the days leading up to a new school year.  My mom and I would spend most of a day cleaning out my closet, casting aside the items that … Continue reading →

More Than Just a Cup’a

Posted on February 4, 2024 by Real Women

It’s not a new obsession. They have a way of multiplying because we convince ourselves we need more.  Try as we might, we just can’t shake our infatuations. After all, they aren’t just vessels for holding and consuming liquids. They … Continue reading →

You Don’t Have To Be My BFF. But..

Posted on October 23, 2023 by Real Women

Of Tissues and Talent

Posted on September 11, 2023 by Real Women

Her name is Evette.  We’ve only exchanged brief pleasantries. 90% of the people I work with have never laid eyes on her.  She’s kind of a magical ninja who makes our environment pleasant.  Evette is our office cleaning professional. We’ve … Continue reading →
