Today, I got something I asked for which prompted me to write this post. I have been struggling lately with my ego. Arrogance and ego are terrible things, especially for a person who suffers from anxiety like me. My ego often and easily triggers my anxiety. So, in turn, as a means to change a…
My kids believe in Santa Claus. I hope they will until they are at least 8, but the way the world strips children of innocence, I will be lucky if I make it through kindergarten with that belief still intact. Recently, two of my favorite twitter follows (@LoveIsMayhem & @MiaWoods2005) were discussing how much they…
I married a man who has been around. This is a rough subject for me. I have been thinking about writing about it for a long time, but yesterday there was a discussion pertaining to the topic on twitter that hit a nerve with me. The first time I met 4th Roomy, I knew he…
You know how people always suggest it’s never a good idea to give other people ultimatums? I disagree. I live life in black and white. There are very few gray areas for me, because I believe that when you have discoloration, it gives way to doubt, insecurity, and fear. I certainly believe in change, but…

Ebony Steele, of the Rickey Smiley Morning Show, had a sound bite played to advertise the show. During the bit, she showed her disgust regarding backlash over Tameka Raymond during she and Usher’s ugly…
Readers! I have been so blocked. I apologize profusely because even though I have all these great pieces started, I have so much going on at home and in my head I am unable to put out a cohesive piece of work for anyone to read. Well, that’s not totally true. I sapped through Mother’s…
My name is Cara and I’m abrasive. And black. You won’t read clever tales in this post about how I have trouble sharing a work hallway repeatedly with other people. I might see someone in a hallway and purposely walk all over that bitch, just to see what they will do, and how they will…
I know I just blogged about fat people shit yesterday, but a small fire has been lit inside of me (pause). You know what’s fucking annoying? Thin people who complain about fat people. “What’s wrong with you? Stop being lazy. You should just work out. Being healthy FEELS SO GOOD, why can’t you just DO…
