I use to make the mistake of telling people what I want. Actually - now that I think about it - my mistake started before that. I think it began with the mentality that there were some things other people HAD to buy/do for me in order for that thing to be of any real significance/value to me. Example: For years, I wanted a charm bracelet. I was watching General Hospital and Sonny Corinthos gave Carly one. He explained the different charms he picked out and their relevance to their life together and IMMEDIATELY I decided I wanted one. Smh... I know.. I know, I'm … [Read more...]
Midweek Encouragement – Rise Above It
Happy Hump Day Everyone! I hope you are having the most fabulous week EVER! Okay so, one of my mentors sent me a story last week. Disclaimer: I did NOT write it and I honestly don't know who did so I can't give credit. But the story made my life that day so I decided to share, with the hope that it would do the same for you.

So yea, class was a struggle. I was sooo uncoordinated! ?? I've been training … [Read more...]

Happy Hump Day People! I hope you are having an amazing (and productive) week thus far! Okay so, I was “concentrating” on my work, minding my business when I received a watsapp message from a good friend of mine. It read “Dear Future husband, I ran 2 miles this morning. You’re welcome.” I replied “lmao! please eh, no too vex, but what does your workout have to do with my future in law?” Her response, “well not everyone likes working out like you. I am doing it to keep my body tight for his bragging rights.” (I only have permission to share to this point of our … [Read more...]

Happy Friday Beautiful People!! You made it through another week - HOLLER!!!!!! Okay so quick question - have you ever stopped to think of what the people in your life “truly” think of you? Asin, if I asked someone (who really knows you) what he/she had to say about you, can you confidently say you’ll get a thumbs up? Curious as to why this piqued my interest? In the words on Kevin Hart ‘let me explain...’ I met up with one of my dear friends for drinks after work last night at Skyroom (on W 40th between 8th and 9th Avenue). We were catching up on what's been … [Read more...]
