Part 1: Acknowledge Yourself and What You’re Going Through.

This is the first part of a blog series that I introduced back in September, titled A Journey through Self. My goal for this series was to help acknowledge, accept and take accountability for the journey through learning more about myself, the good, bad and ugly, and finally finding a way to get through it…

Self-Care Sunday: Discovering a New Hobby

Welcome back to another self-care Sunday post!! Today’s post we will highlight finding yourself a new hobby and how that can promote self care!

How to Become an Effective Leader of a Team

At some point in our lives, I think a lot of us want to be leaders. When the time comes, and we are presented with the opportunity, we jump at it with open arms. One thing I have learned in being in a leadership position is, just because you want to lead, doesn’t mean you…

Self-Care Sunday: Sitting in Stillness

Tyler Perry’s “Work Ethic”

I typically do not write about very many socially current events, just because of the nature of social media and sometimes people cannot have a healthy discussion about something without slander, name-calling and mud-slinging and I truly do not have the time of patience for all that, lol.

Finding my Confidence

Fun fact: Despite my consistency in the gym, I still sometimes battle with the level of confidence I have with myself. It’s crazy, I know; but it is possible to work very hard at something and still not always feel like you look as good as others may see you. I’ve received many compliments on…
