What is Philena At Home?

 


Philena At Home is... 

My safe space. My judgement free zone. The place I share my art, my vision for life, and my opinions of the world. 

I am Philena and This is 


Philena at Home started out as my take on the modern black family blog. It was everything from breast feeding and fresh baby food, to early childhood education and the black stay at home mompreneur lifestyle. 

As my kids are getting older and I am regaining some of  my freedom, I am getting back to myself.  I am getting in shape, growing my natural hair, meditating, praying, and attempting to live up to my expectations. 

I'm starting a new career as a Writer. I've wanted to do this full time for a while but didn't have the courage to step out there. I was afraid I would be rejected because of my background and lack of education, but these days I'm making my own way. Shout out to all Youtubers and Instagram comedians and models who inspired me to stop standing there and jump. 

Philena At Home is now my resume, it's my portfolio, it's my scrapbook, and my journal. It's my novellas and shorties, tv pilots, and movie ideas. 

It's behind the scenes with me as I create the life of my dreams. 

Everything you read here was written on purpose with passion. Some pieces will be deep and intellectual others will be fun and funny, and a few  will be about buying shoes with an 8 year old little girl because my life is not black and white... it's filled with colors, and patterns and moods and mood swings. 

Philena At Home is my real life. 

If you are reading this know that you are not here by accident. I believe wholeheartedly that the only people to get this far into my story are people who are destined to learn from me, be entertained by me, create with me, or teach me something. Whichever , whatever, whenever, I am here for it all.


Thank you for checking me out! Thank you for staying until the end.... 

I am Philena and This is Philena At Home!

How are you making money these days?

I've been wondering lately what are you doing to make money? I'm not usually nosey like this, in fact I am the first to speak out against people who ask the question "What do you do for a living," when you've known them for all of 2 minutes. Questions like this are usually used to judge and rank people and I think that's trash to say the least, however I need some answers!  In my city housing costs are at an all-time ridiculous high, gas is almost $5 per gallon, and don't even get me started on food. With everything being so expensive you'd think people would be working, but every place I go is short staffed and hiring! On top of that, I've been a stay at home mom for about eight years, I used to do all of my errands and leisure activities with my kids early week day mornings, after rush hour, but before lunch. I could literally be in Walmart with one white haired lady on one of those scooter baskets and three employees, but now there are people ev...

I'm here I didn't quit!

 It's day two of my consistency challenge and I'm already feeling the heat. I got a late start on my day. I usually wake up around 5am and read, I make sure the kids are up and getting ready around 6, We leave at 7:15 and I'm back home cleaning getting ready for my morning workout by 8. By10 I am full of green juice and green water and ready to start work creating word art! Today I woke up at 6:40am the kids were still asleep and didn't want to get up. We didn't leave until 7:45. After I dropped them off, I went to pick up our grocery order and what usually takes me five -ten minutes max took more than thirty minutes because everyone called off today. There was literally one woman bringing out all of the orders and at least ten cars waiting. I was cool, didn't Black Karen out, life is good, I had all the patience for waiting and even more gratitude that I didn't have to go in and do it myself. I took the time to do the reading I didn't do earlier. By the...

I just turned 40 Here's how I'm Doing

I've been 40 for about two weeks now, and I'm really enjoying it. I feel young but not too young and then I feel older but not aarp yet. Like an established adult. Middleaged??  In my mind 1-39 is the bottom and 40-86 is the top. Last year I was at the top of the bottom, and this year I'm at the bottom of the top. I made it. I crossed over!  I  finally got my shit together. I am officially, School! If you know you know. In case you don't, School is a term used by individuals usually from the hood, reserved for cool older gentlemen and Bad older women. Think old school. Ask a young man you know if there's an older woman at work he might mess with if given the opportunity. She sexy, looks good for her age, brings her lunch from home and it always looks good, fashionable, not really trying to keep up with the young girls but she's holding. She has her own vibe and it's nice. That's me. I'm School! I'm all natural these days. No enhancements or alter...
