Hello. I wanted to take a break from my “glow up” to update you all on the Life and Times of Kaz. I began personal care aide classes this past Monday and finally bid farewell to my childhood home Thursday. In between, I attended a fundraiser for James River Writers at the Quirk Hotel. I … More April Fools
Due to me missing out on childhood things, I fought hard to remain young. Promising myself that I would enjoy childhood pleasures even while being an adult. I felt I needed to make up for lost time. In hindsight, that’s most likely why I got my DUI. I’m sure I have already expressed the devastation … More Growing Pains
I don’t know how to share this without offending someone, so I’m just going to go ahead and say what’s on my mind. This is the second suicide within six months that has hit a little too close for comfort. I cannot and will not sit here and say I have never attempted or thought … More unapologetic.
If you don’t already know, I cut off all my hair but about three quarters of an inch. As I am getting used to my new haircut, I Am Not My Hair keeps coming to mind. I don’t know why because I wasn’t very fond of the India Arie song. Anyways I wondered what … More Fresh Start

I just knew I should do something. I ran across This Year You Write Your Novel by Walter … More New Book On The Way…
So hey y’all I want to talk to you for a moment. Grab a chair. Or sit Indian style. Downward dog. Whichever you prefer. But I was told recently that my writings are depressing.

The seventeenth of August in the year 2016 I am sitting poolside drinking vodka and wine. No kids. No man. Just me and my cousins and aunts. Yeah, Puerto Rico is technically the U.S. but this is the first time I have traveled out of state and stayed for more than a weekend. I have … More Summer Sixteen
So for the longest time, more than likely my entire life, I have struggled with the virtue of patience. I hate waiting. I hate sitting on my hands. But due to circumstances I am being forced to be patient. I had to be patient to get my license back. I have to be patient with … More Just Venting…
