We moved our daughter into her dorm at Loyola Marymount University this week. I haven’t found the right words to express how I’m feeling. Someone very special sent the following to me from a writer I admire very much.
How did it get so late so soon?
It’s night before it’s afternoon.
December is here before it’s June.
My goodness how the time is flewn.
How did it get so late so soon?

About Tonia Allen Gould
Tonia Allen Gould is a writer, public speaker, entrepreneur, and investigative voice who tells the stories most people are afraid to touch. She is the author of the award-winning children’s book Samuel T. Moore of Corte Magore and the CEO of TAGSOURCE, LLC, a 31-year-old marketing agency specializing in branded merchandise and consumer promotions. Her career spans national recognition as a top thought leader in the promotional products industry and a columnist role at InformationWeek, where she explored digital risk, corporate overreach, and organized fraud.
Today, Tonia’s most powerful work emerges at the intersection of truth and trauma. A survivor of stalking, financial fraud, and systemic erasure, she uses her voice—and platform—to expose the systems that silence women who speak out. Her work-in-progress, Invasive Species, is an intense, genre-bending narrative of survival, hypervigilance, and reclaiming personal power.
Through storytelling, advocacy, and an unflinching gaze, Tonia invites readers into a world where justice isn’t guaranteed—but the pursuit of it is relentless.

Good luck to everyone with such a big change in your family. My son is just shy of 2 years old, but I feel those words are just as applicable to my family as to yours.

I feel like there were so many baby steps along the way, right up to this week when she left. Hug that wee one and hold him tight, Jen. Before you know it, he too will be in cap and gown and then on to conquer his dreams. Thanks for stopping by!
