Caison Michael… my favorite boy. I said, “Come here, baby… lemme take a picture of you.” He came to me, squared up, smiled, and I snapped it. And then, I got all my kisses afterward. LOL! Saturday, January 10, 2026. Photo Credit: Tremaine L. Loadholt
One of us… because why not! I cannot believe how much Caison has grown! It simply blows my mind. *Cries uncontrollably* Photo Credit: Tremaine L. Loadholt

May the New Year Be a Blessing To You and Yours

This coming year, let there be more love than hate and more guidance than hindrance.

2026 New Year’s Digital Holiday Card, created with Canva.

My wish for the new year: may we continue to drop our masks & unlearn ourselves, to seek softness & grace, never to yield. unless to beauty, to truth, to light… may we belong to ourselves, & ourselves alone, & build communities where every woman is free, where we help one another & share with each other out of duty of compassion, out of love. – Kamand Kojouri


HAPPY NEW YEAR, WORDPRESS COMMUNITY!

“Lord I Need You”, Because I Truly Do

Lady Harmony: Too Street for the Church, Too Church for the Street

Lady Harmony: Lord, I Need You

Every morning/before my feet touch the ground/
In the afternoon/when I’m up moving around/
In the evening/when I lay my head down
When I can’t see for myself/

I need you to have my back, Lord…

This Video Still Gives Me So Much Joy

Dance the pain away

Dance, when you’re broken open. Dance, if you’ve torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you’re perfectly free. – Rumi
