A Year Ago vs. Today

Is your life today what you pictured a year ago? I would have to say that my life is not what I pictured a year ago, because I was able to do and experience things this past year that I never thought I would. I made new connections, found a deeper love for myself, and…

Sooo, How’s Life?

We’re already almost halfway through the New Year….. How many of you have completely thrown away January resolutions and opted to start in 2024? lol. I’m happy to say, so far, I’m maintaining! It’s been years since I fed into the “New Year New Me” wave every year, and even longer since Ive made resolutions….

Reconnecting My Faith with My Purpose

When life is handing you every punch it can muster, faith is one of the hardest things to keep ahold of; and when it’s gone, it’s the toughest thing to try and regain control of. It’s been the toughest thing for me to navigate and keep a handle on throughout a lot of things that…

Congratulations on 1,000 Followers

When I started blogging in 2015, I didn’t really know what I wanted. I dnd’t really have many goals or achievements. I didn’t know what I wanted my blog to be, or where I wanted it to evolve to. So seeing this day was a far-fetched idea. To some, this may seem like a small…

2020 Book Predictions

Typically, I give myself this lofty goal of reading however many books I can in one year. Well, in recent years; between blogging, writing my own books, scrolling aimlessly through social media and having a toxic job, 2019 wasn’t the best year for finishing ANY book I started. Trash, I know. But I will be…

‘‘Twas the Night before NaNo….”

What are you preparing? Or, what are you finishing? What will have you gazing at a computer for endless hours in a day? What will have you in the suspect corner of a coffee shop or Barnes&Noble; headphones engaged and fingers on the home row? What goals have you set for yourself? Who’s your motivation?…

Worth requires WORK.

How much do you value your worth? And if you do not hold much value to yourself, how do you expect anyone else to? I’ve had a hard time channeling my worth and purpose. Sometimes when I ask the questions of myself, I cannot find an answer. Such is life. Sometimes life can get you…

Stop Playing Small

In light of new resolutions, goals and plans for the new year, when making that outlined list of what we will throw our efforts into, we often play small. Playing small means to play it safe; to settle for what is secured and safe for our egos to withstand. Playing it big means going out…

A letter to 2019.

I went through some very interesting circumstances this year; some that I’ve never been through before, some even that I have barely been ok enough to talk about. I wasn’t always being 100% for the important people in my life. I wasn’t present for a lot of people I love this year. I wasn’t present…
