I had so many ideas in June. None of them happened. Life fell apart. Somehow in the 3.5 months since then I have a new boyfriend, a new car, a new place of residence, a new job... because everything that was going on back then didn't pan out. I continue to come up with new … Continue reading Still Figuring Crap Out

Wish me luck. Haha. I'm not sure quite what I'm doing. I'm an author and an … Continue reading The Author Entrepreneur
How To Work When You’re Depressed
I'm not doing a YouTube livestream on this one--at least, not yet. It's a bit more complex and warrants more than me rambling to my laptop. Here's my background on the subject: I haven't held down a job since the Walmart I was at laid off all their temp workers a couple days before Christmas, … Continue reading How To Work When You’re Depressed
