Positive thoughts

Know your Lane
A lot of people tend to speak on subjects in which they know nothing about. We want to peg ourselves as experts, yet haven’t done the edtensive research behind those aspects; or better yet, they just have not lived in them. I like to believe that there is always a life twin; a person who…
The Joys a Child Brings

“Graduation Season” and my Addiction to Education…
It is officially graduation season!! I honestly love this time of year. Just having the opportunity to see all my friends and family complete this major accomplishment makes me happy.
