Conquering Imposter Syndrome & Embracing the Now

Posted on August 29, 2016August 30, 2016 by Tasha Rose Leave a comment

August has been a full month for me. Settling into a new place as well as settling into a new job have taken up the bulk of my time to the point that I sometimes have to make myself pause in appreciation. I look around me sometimes and am almost overwhelmed with gratitude with how […]... Read More

Appreciating the Now

Posted on August 11, 2016 by Tasha Rose Leave a comment

Story time: For the past few weeks my life has been about packing, moving, and moving in. The ins and outs of relocating, yet again, by myself, have been a bit taxing. Any downtime with my friends has been a relief. So I told myself now that it’s August, and I’m semi settled, it’s time […]... Read More

New Moon Meditations

Posted on August 6, 2016 by Tasha Rose Leave a comment

A few days ago I went to a gathering of women for the New moon. It was my first time attending something such as this and my thorough enjoyment of it makes me eager to do it again in coming months. Among the things that really stood out to me about the experience, was just […]... Read More

Solitude vs. Lonely: Which One?

Posted on February 23, 2016March 15, 2016 by Tasha Rose Leave a comment

A week ago when the ice blessed me with a day off from work, I took advantage of my free time and went to see the (relatively) new movie How to Be Single. I went expecting laughs and actually walked away thinking about a topic that has been in the forefront of my mind for […]... Read More

Back From Hiatus

Posted on January 25, 2016 by Tasha Rose Leave a comment

So I’m back from a bit of a hiatus, primarily because while I’ve been writing about being a free woman on here, I have not been feeling very free. Over the holidays while I was visiting with my family, I got really charged up listening to Tiphani Montgomery’s spiritually led real goal planning webinar. And […]... Read More

Monday Motivation – 11.30.15

With Thanksgiving having been just days ago and the Holiday season upon us (my favorite time of the year, I might add), the topic of thankfulness and gratitude is in the air. I try to start everyday with a prayer of thanks, and every week I journal a list of 7 things I am grateful […]... Read More

That Verbal Venom

Posted on November 2, 2015 by Tasha Rose Leave a comment

I did it again. Despite how far removed I am from the situation, despite all the time and lack of care about this person and situation, I saw something that reminded me of a long-dead issue and my smart-ass, venomous-when-it-wants-to-be mouth got to talking. And now I’m sitting here shaking my head because I realized […]... Read More

Death and Therapy

Posted on October 23, 2015February 13, 2019 by Tasha Rose Leave a comment

I don’t handle death well. I know they say that time can heal everything, but the last few years have made it clear that when someone around me passes away, even if the person was not someone I knew well or was just someone I knew of through the 6 degrees of separation, I don’t […]... Read More

Gone Too Soon

“The value of life is revealed when it confronts death from close quarters.” – Apoorve Dubey A student of mine was killed today. I can’t, or should I say won’t, get into the details. But I’m still processing it and all the myriad of emotions it has stirred up. No epiphanies tonight. Another young man […]... Read More

The Beauty in Letting Go

Posted on October 12, 2015October 13, 2015 by Tasha Rose Leave a comment

It is t-minus 2 days until my birthday. Man, there is something about getting another year older that makes you reflect on your life and everyone (and everything) in it. Over the weekend I found myself thinking about a random text conversation with someone that I had that somehow got onto the subject of respectability […]... Read More
