29 and understanding life is not a dream

-
Image
I begun this blog with the focus on it being on food and love. However we can not talk about love without heartache...and food without heartburn. (*cues the drummer*) So, I just turned 29. I am a woman on the curve of a new adventure, 30s. I thought by now, I would be able to whip up my Granny's pies and cake recipes without looking at the index card. I thought I would be married and living on the coast of Capri with my 2 children. I thought I would have my stuff together. That is not the case, I am a 29 year old woman navigating some extreme life choices and challenges. I choose to be poly but I was diagnose schizoaffective disorder. This affected my relationships significantly, two of my partnerships ended hence why I haven't posted a lot about food lately. I slipped into a bit of a funk. My creative juices have been halted by this funk, but HEY, I am writing now... that is a start. I am slowly understanding that life doesn't go as you plan. I always been such a

Introduction to T.C. aka Top Cat

-
Image
I love nicknames. T.C. always has a new one for me.  I call him many as well. However, his childhood nickname is Top Cat like the  American  animated television series  made by the  Hanna-Barbera  studios that first ran from September 27, 1961 to April 18, 1962 for a run of 30 episodes on the  ABC  network. Mine is Preecy, a shortening of my government name.  This man makes me smile with all the endearing love names.  Hmmph!  Sparkle Onward,  Caprice aka Ziah

Introduction to N

-
"You don't have anyone to love onto you tonight?" , said N. "No, I scare Michigan men.", replies Caprice (Ziah) "You are lovely." Ziah blushes... "You know some people don't know what to do with a strong personality, I do. Muah. I am tired babe, goodnight", N expresses to Ziah. "Muah, goodnight.", wooes Ziah What he doesn't know is I waited a year to approached him... again. We met a year ago online. I was so flabbergasted that he added and LIKED my photos. I deleted him. (Silly, gal!)  I always was fond of his looks. He is SO handsome. He words makes me MELT. *AHEM, yassssssssssss gawd!* I am thankful for all the love I am receiving. Happy Kwanzaa! I am loving ALL my gifts.

Why I Started Writing Online Again... after a long hiatus.

-
I went to the Cincinnati's Creative and Performing Arts High School. (Yes, the one from that once popular cable network reality show! I graduated a year prior to the show though, damnit!) Writing has always been a outlet and creative tool for myself. While I was in the hospital I had a conversation with a man (another patient) about my love for food and being black and polyamorous. He suggested that I start a blog called "Many Foods, Many Loves"... I was SO inspired I wrote it in my journal immediately in the hospital. This morning I am gifting myself on Christmas Eve, the Winter Solstice/Christmas gift of being free in my lifestyle choices. The name of the blog is called She Got Plenty inspired by the song Plenty by Guru & Erykah Badu. Check it out! I just have so much to share that my journals can not be the only ones to bear witness. I hope this will be a nourishing and loving journey together. Growing Transparently, Caprice aka Ziah
