When Adulting Got Real

So, I saw this question posed on Twitter and decided it would be a good question for me to answer in the form of a blog post. So many times, we hear young millennials say “I can’t wait ’til I’m grown”; and quite frankly, I can remember a time when not so long ago, I…

So, I’m 30; Now What??

Now that I’m officially “in my 30’s” I have felt a very blatant and noticeable shift in my perspective and energy. I feel the strong desire to make some hard decisions about my life and where it’s going. I’m not sure if it’s just the aura of the new age; however, I am feeling my…

Does EVERYTHING Happen for a Reason?

Whenever something happens; good or bad, I am  a firm believer that it has a reason.  Call me superstitious, but that is how I’ve always chosen to believe.  When the stars align and things fall in place, I believe that there is a reason that those things were meant to fall in place for me…

Striving to be Better for Those Who Look up to Me

Q: Do I see myself as successful? I don’t really define success by the way others view my accomplishments; but more-so how I feel about what I have accomplished. At the beginning of this year, I made a list of things I wanted to accomplish.  I made promises to myself about the type of woman…

Living in Unapologetic Intention

I’m not talking about doing something for yourself by happenstance, or because it was an occasion; but just on a random Tuesday, you did something simply for yourself because you’re entitled to do just that?  Or maybe, you just wanted to sit around and…

Self-Care Sunday: Making Lemonade

This may sound kind of crazy, but I want to touch on how making life’s lemons into lemonade can be a form of self-care; or at least how we need to start living life with this mentality. How many of us stress about how life isn’t perfect? *raises hand in shame* exactly, me too! As…

If I Knew Now, What I Knew Then….

What do I regret? How can I deal with this? I’ve actually been thinking about this question for a while now; I even skipped it and came back to it, and I still really don’t have an answer. I don’t really have anything I regret in life; and that’s really how I choose to live,…

Good Friends or Bad Friends; Which One are You?

So, im still on my #50Days50Questions journey, and I came across a question that I felt compelled to discuss, since it has become somewhat of a hot topic in my life currently. Here is the question. Am I a good friend? How so or not so? I could be lying to myself; however, I feel…
