Personal

My family. We have this silent appreciation for the time we have with each other. The best parts are my nieces and nephews. The love they express and the admiration they have. The random hugs and shouts of “I love you,” make being an aunt ten times better. One Sunday morning, I look through my cameral […]

I have a pink bear sitting on my desk, calico critters on my bar, toy trucks on my coffee table, and tea cups on my dining room table. All is good on the home front. This weekend was a long, extended birthday weekend for my niece. We celebrated with burger bags and a cake box […]

On Saturday, I embarrassed myself with my tantrum…a “sweaty angry tirade.” I was frustrated, mad, overwhelmed, tired, and confused about my journey. I was experiencing a mild funk; I started to lose faith in my journey, and I couldn’t say it out loud. To maximize my life, I need to work seven days a week, […]

Last week I had a snow cone date with my Bff. We caught up on the weeks of life we missed out while away from each other- my philanthropist moments, the letter “P,” all while working TLC lyrics into our conversation. Ten years ago, we dreamed of a different life. I remember sitting in a […]

Two hours in traffic, a single girl at the bar, and eighty miles later, here we here. Everyone needs friends who let you forget about making it to bed early. I love y’all!

Last Sunday, my sisters decided we would sun bathe in the kiddie pool and eat barbecue. That same weekend, on Friday, my sister and I enjoyed a wild game pretzel hot dog and a beer under string lights. Those days are my reminder to love fiercely, to respond to group messages, to make time together, […]

I dream out loud, speak out loud, hoping that someone will hold me accountable for my dreams. This time last year, I told myself I want twelve weddings for the year of 2015, well I got fifteen. One weekend, I chime into my best friend telling some of her colleagues about what I do for […]

On Friday afternoon, happy hour was conveniently scheduled around my bedtime, and I found the best parking spot for seventy five cents, so I was already winning. As soon as I walked into Pub Fiction , I had the sales rep to the Metro Rail trying to sell me a lifetime of Metro Fare cards. […]

This past weekend was everything I needed in the past few weeks. No worries about makeup or hairspray. I enjoyed silent moments, giggles, burst out loud laughs, I love yous exchanged from tent to tent, and reflections about our lives. I sat along the lakefront, listening to the waves collide with the concrete walls, I […]

I’m trying to live life, go with the flow, be spontaneous, say yes to vacations by the beach and an umbrella drink, Selena outfits, camping outdoors with real tents, eating out of tupperware as we roast marshmallows, hiking, biking… You are your own limitation.
