The incredible @JeidaKStorey gave me a reading a bit over a year ago, LIFE CHANGING! I followed her suggestions, listened to what my Ancestors said through her. I was working on a book then called "Greens" that book baby is now Low Bridge High Water and it's in my hands.
@DawnMGibson I've changed my settings in edge so msn "news" articles don't pop up everytime I try to open a new tab. I've been taking news in small doses. My degree is in journalism so I've always watched and read a lot of news but now I just don't have it in me to stomach very much of it.

@Imani_Barbarin I was just ranting yesterday about how much I've paid in ready meals because of my pain and fatigue. Went to the store yesterday and since I'm not flaring (knock wood) the bill was so much less because I can cook from scratch.

@MorganJerkins Thank you!! I hate when there is a historical post on social and the facts are correct but the photo is AI it makes the whole thing wrong.
@notcapnamerica I knew my name and my mom's name, where I lived, my alphabet, numbers up to 10 and a ton of sight words. Parents do realize you can't just drop them off with no foundation. I guess they don't realize that.
