From The Desk of Tha PROfessa.
Stories from my life as Curtis: lessons in resilience, healing, identity, and the ways we keep becoming. I share what I have lived, not a set of instructions for anyone else.
A TUESDAY TOUCHSTONE
Welcome to Tiger Eye Tuesdays.
For me, Tiger Eye Tuesday is a weekly reminder of grounded courage and clear sight. I keep tiger’s eye close as a symbol of steadiness; the meaning comes from the intention I bring to it. Tuesday gives me a moment to pause, take stock, and choose how I want to meet the week ahead.
These reflections are my testimony. I am not here to tell you what your path should look like. I hope that sharing mine offers a little company, encouragement, or room to imagine what is possible for you.
New reflections are published on Tuesdays.
