Guess Who’s Back? 😉
Hey Gardeners! I know it’s been quite some time since the last post, so I wanted to let you know—I’m fine! LOL! I’ve been working, going to school, learning, listening, and trying to be as present as possible. I’ve been “focusing in” on different areas of my life. It’s been rewarding, and I want to…
En Route 🚏🚦
“During the course of a journey; on the way.”—Oxford Languages, 2021. Hi! I know it has been a minute since my last post. What can I say? LIFE! I went back to school this summer for a second master’s degree. It has kept me pretty busy. Do not get me wrong—my brain loves the challenge….
Companion Planting 🌺🌻🌸
I love this time of the year because it’s so close to Fall—which I love, but mainly because my Mama Frankie’s birthday is September 15th. We would get together and have parties for her and she absolutely loved it. I’m excited for her birthday this year. I’ve decided that I’m going to celebrate her life…

Misplaced insecurities 👀
Since starting GoG, I have gone over so many topics in my head. There are so many things I want to share. In my first post, I told you guys I wasn’t quite sure where we were going and I meant that. After some time and sitting with a few things I narrowed it down….
“Houston, we MIGHT have a problem.” 🤨
When I first decided I wanted to get to know myself, I had the hardest time figuring out where to start. I mean, of course, I know me. I’ve always KNOWN who I am, who I belong to, what I believe in, etc. But what I did not know, well, what I chose not to…
Hello, I’m ToriB :)
This is my first time blogging. As an avid journal writer, I’ve spent my life writing profusely. My thoughts, hopes, prayers, dreams, fears, accomplishments, failures…everything. A couple of nights ago, I decided to give this a try. 2020 was a year to remember and as we know, the pandemic took a huge toll on everyone….
