You already know how I feel about Mr. Boseman. Anywho, as you also may know (please, please know this; like, I enjoy under-the-rock living, too, but you need to know this), Black Panther, the next movie in the Marvel Universe, is set to open this coming Friday. Saying I can't wait is certainly an understatement. We …
“when you gonna make up your mind?”
Confession: I lost a bit of myself in 2017. I think it happens to every woman. Here and there, pieces of who we are, good pieces, at that, begin to crumble at our feet. The sources of that quiet, subtle destruction are many. Discouragement, lack of confidence, heartbreak, loss, pain, unhappiness--so, so many things. Womanhood …
ain’t nothing changed.
As much as I'm thankful and grateful for the journey of changes in this life of mine (it took a long time to fall in love with myself, for example; self-worth/self-respect/self-esteem came late for me, but those things came right when they needed to 👐🏾), some things remain exactly the same for your Square Peg. And …
Housekeeping…
Hey, y'all. I'm Texan now, so combining you and all is no longer offensive to me. Actually, no, who are we kidding? Hi, everyone. Sliding into your Wednesday to announce some blog-related housekeeping and changes concerning this tiny home in the Webiverse, This Square Peg. Shall we? The Look. As you've noticed, the aesthetics of …
Zero Expectations.
You guys. I expect nothing from this new year. Or any year, really. I just don't. And no, I don't make resolutions. I just take things one day at a time. Keeping an eye on the things to come. Living my life. I mean...the lofty ideals that come with a shiny, brand new date on …
Unrelenting Excitement. (And Other Things.)
I think that best describes how I felt when I heard that my favorite royal Ginger, Prince Harry, had become engaged to his sweetheart, actress Meghan Markle. I won't even link to any articles about this news; if it's the first time you're hearing about this engagement, we just...we have nothing to say to each …

The Frompadour Files.
Oh, hey. Have you missed me as much as I've missed you, dear reader? Have you longingly gazed at your notifications, hoping to see that I've reached out to you with another post? No? Well, I love you anyway. It's been a while since I've talked about this fro (known as She) on my larger-than-average …
issa new contribution.
Yep, I'm basically going to tell you every time a write-up that I contribute to The Maria Antoinette goes live. Because of my enduring love for your support of my writing efforts. And because this self-promotion-as-a-writer thing (which we will discuss later) is a new goal of mine, and unlike my goal to avoid bread, …
Confetti Explosions and Things of that Nature.
It's official. Like really official. I've been sitting on this news for a while until it was official official. And now... ... I was chosen as a guest contributor for The Maria Antoinette, a beauty/hair/lifestyle/fashion website. !!!! That in itself was amazing to be chosen. But even better? My first contribution to the site is …

speechless.
Writing fiction has been a no-go, party people. And I miss writing fiction. Yes, I've written some poems quite recently (here and here, if you feel like reminiscing), but I am 100 percent a writer, lover, and creator of fiction. I don't exactly know what's going on. Let's think it through: Is it because I …
