Love seems like such a simple word. The definition feels as though it should flow inherently through us as humans… Until it doesn’t. Love is the spark. A relationship is an ecosystem. Those two things don’t always sync. And that doesn’t make the love less real — it makes it rare. I didn’t have to worry about coming off as too much. I was exactly enough — and vice versa. That is not casual. That is not something you stumble into. That is not common. That is holy. Because for s

Tonight, under the light of this full moon, the 888 portal opens — a rare moment where the universe leans in close and asks: What are you ready to create? This is not just my intention. It is ours. A call to every soul who believes in magic, in love, in the kind of future that feels like sunlight after rain. Our intention is this: To release what has kept us small. To step fully into our power without apology. To dream boldly, love deeply, and live freely. To protect the tend

A short note from behind the mic If I were to make a mixtape that captured the energy behind this latest episode — and the chaos happening behind the scenes as we recorded it — it would start with “Pressure” by Billy Joel and end with “And She Was” by Talking Heads. Because, of course, right when I thought I’d silenced all my notifications… I got one telling me that a publication interview I did? Lost. My son started calling — wisdom teeth situation, in pain, needs help. My

When thoughts become things. I never imagined myself creating and hosting a podcast—not in a million years. That's exactly why I try to avoid using the words never and always. They feel like promises we were never meant to keep. I never imagined I’d become a writer either. Just more proof that life rarely unfolds the way we think it will. I started writing when I finally found—and reclaimed—my voice. A voice that had been trained to stay silent, to speak only when spoken to.

January is finally coming to a close. What a decade it has been. I mean, what a month it has been. It is that time of year when we continue paying for gym memberships we will no longer use. Dry January is easing its way into a soused February. You may have discovered that eating healthy does have its benefits. However, it does not seem to soothe the soul like a strawberry shake can after hearing Eric Parnas say for the billionth time, "We Have Some Terrible Breaking News" B

I think this song fits the mood for how I feel about this shoutout piece perfectly. “Double Fantasy” is an album I have been listening to and loving for over 40 years. I am not a huge fan of Yoko’s tracks.🥴 I am just keeping it real here.  “Watching the Wheels” lyrics have always been pretty profound. When I was a kid, listening to the lyrics sung by John Lennon matched with the beautiful melody brought a smile to my face whenever it came on. The song continues to bring me a

How is everyone doing? As per the norm, it seems like an entire lifetime has passed since my last blog post. So much has transpired in such a small amount of time.   Now, I know many of you, myself included, have found the world, as of late, to be quite an overwhelming and overstimulating place to reside in. I also know this will resonate differently, depending on who you are and where you reside in this world. I mean that, both literally and figuratively. Every person's lif

Hello Everyone It has been a minute. Like so many of us, I have had a lot going on over the past few months. There was a whole lot of change in the air. Some of which I was ready for, some not so much. There was an array of shifts, a lot of bobbing and weaving. Thank goodness! I had my best friend with me. That best friend is music. Who once again provided me with the perfect tracks to add to the ‘ My Life’s Soundtrack,” which is always playing in the background and navigatin

Note : I am in no way condoning or recommending the usage of drugs to anyone reading my blog. I am merely sharing my personal stories and experiences. Before I continue with Part Two of this story, I wanted to address that I will not be using the actual names of the people in my stories. Instead, I will use the names of various characters from my favorite movies and television shows. We shall see where that takes us. Who knows, it might be fun. There is some heavy stuff here.

How it started. I was a chubby little kid who hated my name. I have explained this to many. Francisca is a relatively uncommon name. It was doubtful that you would find any pens, pencils, keychains, stickers, or mugs with my name on them. My trips to souvenir shops felt like the universe was once again confirming the ongoing feeling I constantly had. I came from the Island of Misfits. I was a square peg. I was a Francisca in a world filled with Jennifers, Erics, and Lisas. W

I am a multiracial woman. I am of Spanish, Lebanese, and Mexican Native American descent. I spent most of my childhood growing up in El Sereno, a neighborhood on the east side of Los Angeles, California. El Sereno is predominantly a Hispanic community. I attended All Saints School, a Catholic school in El Sereno. I went there from first through eighth grade. Being a child of the 80s had its many, many perks. One of them was the classroom holiday parties. They were epic! This

My name is Francisca Harrison. What I am setting out to do here has been a passion project of mine. That has sat in my mind and my heart for a very long time. I have spent many nights manifesting this dream into my reality. I always knew it would happen exactly when it was meant to, and here we are. This is just a quick glimpse into who I am and what I am doing here. Throughout my life, I have often thought of myself as a diamond in the rough. The definition of that term is:
