YOU READ IT RIGHT, RELATIONSHOPS.

While on my laptop, working on the never ending 

post its of my to-do list, sipping on my 

wheatgrass, eating a peanutbutter and jelly

sandwich, emailing, calling on the landline yet I still found the 

time to BBM with my girls.

After bursts of momentary meltdown and surge

of pessimism along the convo (maybe i was just

multi-tasking too much or i have fat fingers) I accidentally typed 

relationshOps. 

Random thought. Relationship shopping.

We move from one relationship to the next, fit it on, try it on, 

bring it home, use it up, show our friends (Note: dont lend!) but in the end we dispose the ones with the most damage and 

keep the ones

that are strong enough to last.

Sometimes all you need is a pep talk (aka bitch slap) from your circle of trust.

There's nothing more inspiring than 
something new and something old.





Sometimes all you need is a change in perspective.
