The Blessing You Didn’t Plan For.
(ThySistas.com) One day, you’re minding your own business and you get an unexpected phone call from your grandmother. You start the conversation with the usual pleasantries and the topic begin to shift to something glee filled yet terrifying. She tells you that she has been dreaming of fish. Your heart begins to race, and she continues on to say that every time her pole touched the water she caught... [Read more of this review]
If Only There Was a Time Machine.
(ThySistas.com) As a young woman, like any other, I would proudly and readily say that I lived my life with no regrets whatsoever. I would say that this person, that thing, this event, or that institution didn’t owe me a thing when I moved on. To a large degree, they don’t because they stopped me with more than enough memories to keep me laughing and crying for years to come. On the other... [Read more of this review]

In this case, toxic blood can be described as emotion, time, place, character and the power to notice something wrong bringing about change or a “difference“.

What is Your Recharge Station?
(ThySistas.com) If you ever have the chance to experience my home, we have chargers everywhere: phone, Bluetooth speaker, laptop, iPad, PS4, etc. If it has a cord, we probably have somewhere for it to power up so you can go back to using it. Anytime we lose a cord and/or plug, we get truly upset. My husband and I are convinced that every charger is supposed to outlive us. No matter how much... [Read more of this review]
Is it Self-Care or Maintenance?
(ThySistas.com) For the record, this question popped in my head courtesy of a rant my sister decided to have. She went on social media and saw women getting their hair, nails, and feet polished and claiming it as self-care. “That is what you are supposed to do! That is not self-care!” She shouted. I laughed until I thought about what she said. Then, it made me wonder if there is a difference... [Read more of this review]
The Case of the Ex.
(ThySistas.com) Them: You can’t be friends with an ex! Me (smirking): Ok. Telling me what I cannot do used to be the fastest way to anger me. What can I say?

However, it came with a hefty price that I... [Read more of this review]

Rest: There is Always Tomorrow.
(ThySistas.com) Tired appears to be a perpetual state of being for so many of us. When asked how we’re doing, tired is stated or simply understood as a continual part of the answer. More people are working from home now than ever in the wake of this pandemic or working in more strenuous conditions at the physical job location. One may have thought this would help us get more done, or somehow lighten... [Read more of this review]
It’s Just You and it Needs to Change.
(ThySistas.com) Individualism is important, but life trauma and hardship tend to bring us together. They are unfortunate, yet they are the bridges that often allow us to relate to one another when life goes left.
