Being apart of the Drew Barrymore show was a life changing experience. I was literally emotionally triggered and healed all at the same time! Let's go back to the day before the show, Tuesday September 16th. I had a overnight shift at work and wouldn't be getting home until 5:30 am and the show starts letting people in at 10 to 10:15 am. I was tired but I wasn't going to let this opportunity pass me by. I haven't been in a studio audience in years. The first time was in 2018, I went with a senior citizens home located in Philadelphia PA. We rode to Connecticut for $3 to the Steve show. Steve was Jerry Springer's body guard and he launched his own show if you didn't know.      Now because I didn't know how the line situation was going to be and I wasn't sure how my priority ticket worked I decided to be there at least by 9am. Working off  an hour and a half of sleep I showed up only to find out I could've gotten a extra hour of sleep; because pri...

     Welcome back, now where were we; ah ok so I shake off the rather painful sprain. I hop on the bus go home and rest for two hours. My ankle isn't hurting so I decide to go to my night job. On this job I'm standing and walking for four hours. I worked that shift like nothing happened. It wasn't until an hour before it was time to go that my knee started hurting. I kinda thought nothing of it since it was already slightly injured. I left work and headed home. I had 15minutes to shower and get ready for the day job.        As I stepped into the shower My right leg buckled and I looked down and my ankle on my right leg was swollen to the size of a white potato. I thought to myself, maybe I should just call out and stay home. My legs aren't in good condition and working on them any further wouldn't have been a good idea. I also had to call out of the day job the next day which was Tuesday. I rested for the day and decided to go to my training  on W...

     Let me just say when the energy that runs this planet says move you move. I'm happy to say my living situation has changed dramatically. I'm still working my part time job which is seasonal. I found another part time job that will take me into June 2026. Finding full time work is a whole nother job in itself. I don't have a clue as to how all this life stuff works or why none of it makes sense, but I'm alive until I'm not so I'm here for it.       Everything is going pretty well if I must say so myself. I have a couple friends now and the overnight job is definitely popping. It literally feels like being in Highschool hanging with the homies while y'all get y'all work done. Since moving I've had to readjust to my travel times, but I'm closer to the overnight job. The day job is about the same distance as it was before; an hour and a half away. Which is not actually convenient, but I gotta make it do what it do.       This is how I e...

  Remember book reports when we were in school? For some they were a dreaded terrible thing, for others they were fun ways to recall your favorite book and an easy format to tell someone what the book was about. I've decided to post some reports of books I've read recently; let's jump right in. I was given this book by an owner of a cannabis farm in Northern California. I spent 3 months harvesting marijuana. It was one of the best experiences in my life. The cabin we stayed in atop a 4,000 ft mountain had a rather interesting book case. I asked the owner if I could swap a book for this one and he obliged. I'm glad he did because I learned so much about this. Culture/ Religion that I didn't know about and clarification on things I did.  Author:   Lenoard E. Barrett, Sr. Title:    The Rastafarians  Main Characters:     The Author and the Rasta's he interviewed  Setting:   A lot of this book took place on the island of Jamaica in 1997. It g...

  Hey family welcome back! As you know if you've been following my story, in Los Angeles I was a personal in home assistant. It's a job through that App called Home A Glow. If you like to clean and help people organize it might be a helpful part time job for you. N-E-way this job takes me a lot of places and into a lot of people's homes. Since being in NYC I've been able to travel around the different borough's and help make people's lives more manageable. A couple weeks ago I came upon the most interesting home I have seen in my life outside of YouTube. It's located in City Island NY, it's so beautiful there. The views of the East River are simply breath taking.      The owner of this home is a young woman in her 50's that has survived the ugly battles of divorce and is caring for her son who is challenged with high functioning ADHD. She has truly made her home her sanctuary. Upon entering it felt like walking into a huge boat. I was so impressed an...

        The crazy thing is I've probably always been winging it...                            I don't think there was a time when things made sense in my life ever. I be wanting to make one of those crime boards with the yarn, pictures & push pins and stand there and figure for hours where it all went wrong. Trust me guys I wanted part 8 to be better.  I don't know if you guys were rooting for me but I sure was. I'm tired now ya'll, let's just go right in. I've been in NYC for a little over a month and I have no idea what's going on. I am very perplexed about my living situation. My cleaning app won't let me charge over $16 an hour which is B.S. because in Los Angeles I was able to charge $20 -$25 an hour. I probably could've charged $30. N-E-Way I was able to find a part-time seasonal job. One morning two weeks ago I woke up down on my luck and I was watching the Bronx news. I ...

  Tyeisha we're back these are some heavy memories that you are sharing. Thank you for seeing my blog as a special place to mind dump.     So where were we; ok my grand mother had enough. I don't remember her talking to me about any of the madness that was happening or why I was allowing it to happen. She just took it upon herself to call DHS (Department of Human Services) on me and they sent out the people. I already wasn't thinking clearly, going through whatever nightmare formed in my mind. When the social worker came, chile I didn't even think at all I just remember snapping the hell out and chasing her up the street. In my mind if I caught her I was going to whip her ass! Bad decision. I was so mad that when I got back in I walked in the house and slammed the door. Neglecting to realize my 2yr old daughter was on the porch. I walked right pass her and slammed the door. I don't even remember when I realized she was even out there. Needless to say I was looked at...

       We are back for Part 2        Job Corp was a epic failure. I remember crying asking my mother and grandmother to give me a chance to change and allow me to stay in school. They declined and I got kicked out of Job Corps 3 months later for fighting. A fight I didn't even get to fight in nor was I trying to fight in. My name was put in it by one of them hating ass chic's. I was also still smoking bud up there, not too many people knew about that. I had a lot of material stuff on campus and my mother and grandmother also decided not to send for my things. Being an angry, miserable, frustrated on the road to depression 16yr old does not make for a person that's about to be out here making good life decisions.      This next bad decision happened the following year I was 17. I remember there was a party and we started taking shots of vodka, the bottom shelf kind for $10 a shot. I had no clue how to hold my liquor or about the...

    Tyeshia thank you for being interested in sharing your story of healing with me. This was emotional for both of us but we did it! You are an amazing woman and I believe you will make it to complete all the goals you have for yourself in this life.       Jodie, i f there are angels looking down on my life right now, they been watching this damn Tyeisha show for almost 38 seasons. I'm sure they have laughed, cried, been angry with me & probably even wanted to intervene to help me but couldn't due to whatever circumstances there are in the Cosmo's.      I imagine they are watching this 38th season eyes glued to the hole in the sky that they watch me through.  I see them on their air couches with their soft blankets and fluffy pillows just waiting to see what happens next. Welp I'm right there with them because a lot of the time I'm living in an outer body experience anyway!  I'm always saying that I wish I had a microscope so I...

           Mr. Gonzalez gave an end of the year creative writing assignment to his 7th grade class. Each student was to come up with their own story and put it in book form. Turn's out he has a bunch of creative minds in his class. I took the time out to read a few. In some the hand writing was so small I had to pass, my eyes were not picking up what I was seeing. The few I did read were really fun.  Here are some of my reviews CAPTAIN BUCKET HEAD  favorite line was: We were tied up in the back of the carriage. There weren't any couches (sadly) so my rear was learning the worst qualities of a wooden board! This story took me on a wild ride in an imaginary world, great job! The great Pollution, Recycler & Smoke clearer (P.R.A.S.C) This story had a fun opening and knowing that the author is 12yrs old tickled me. That first line said: Frank Wright, a well built man in his mid fourties... This story took me on a corporate journey about a machi...

  Remember book reports when we were in school? For some they were a dreaded terrible thing, for others they were fun ways to recall your favorite book and an easy format to tell someone what the book was about. I've decided to post some reports of books I've read recently; let's jump right in.       This book was given to me as an inspiration gift because it was noticed that I enjoy writing and reading very much. At work during down time I would write short stories and I even wrote the love story of one of my married co-workers on this blog. Matter fact the person that gave me the book! You can read his story here it's called A Recovery Love Story .  Author:   Susan Tan/ Illustrated by, Dana Wulfekotte Title:    Cilla Lee - Jenkins The Epic Story Main Characters:     Cilla Lee-Jenkins, Gwendolyn Lee-Jenkins, Essie Lee-Jenkins, Ye Ye, Nai Nai, Grandma Jenkins, Grandpa Jenkins, Mom & Dad Setting:   This story mostly takes place b...

      It took me extra long to write this I left Pineville Louisiana almost a month ago. I never thought I would be in a place that I couldn't survive on my own without a car. I actually wanted to stay, southern hospitality is real. I didn't want to have to depend on everyone having to take me everywhere I needed to go if I didn't want to spend a ton of Lyft money. I also felt as tho that would make me a burden & a charity case. Maybe that's not how everyone else felt but that's how I felt. I also only had 2months with my host family and she extended it to 3months. I had to transition somewhere, I would've been down with staying at her house for a year but she said that she never had anyone stay with her that long before.         Here's the TEA, if your reading this and I told you my host was my aunt on my dad's side that was most def a lie. I didn't want people in my actual business & I also didn't want to talk about it. I'll state ...

  Thank you Alex Johns for allowing me to share this story. It was hilarious when you told it to me, I just had to share it. We both agreed that it was the kind of funny situation that only found it's comedy years after it happened. As humans we all experience embarrassing moments that we only find ourselves laughing at later and for the most part we never forget them.     Alex is now 20yrs old & this particular situation happened when she was the tinder age of 8yrs old. Today Alex says she can laugh but when it happened funny, wasn't the word to describe it at all! Our elementary school in a city in Louisiana was called JI Barron. We were having a talent show and I was supposed to sing Blank Spaces by Taylor Swift. Let me tell you I was HYPE! I was in my head like I'mma win this talent show, I have that $100 in the bag! I was also excited about my dress, it was so grown up!     It was floral pattern with spaghetti straps, it was ankle length with splits on ...
