Personal

I am afraid to forget. I miss eating out at random ethnic restaurants with red and white tiled floors or mismatching plates. I still love pizza and eat it more than ever. I love ice cream just as much but don’t eat it as often. I miss the visits to Ross or Target. I miss […]

It’s ten o’clock on a Saturday night; my sisters and I are enjoying a car ride with my niece singing along to “kiss the girl.” I couldn’t ask for a better set of sisters to enjoy this ride of life. Looking back at our lives and skimming through the happy and sad memories we shared […]

Five months ago, I knew the direction of my life. I was someone’s yin-yang, balance, better half, lethal weapon. My best friend, knew the power I possessed, something I am oblivious about. Some days, I didn’t believe in myself; those nights I cried, so we would listen to Napoleon Hill. For five months, I didn’t […]

My fondest memory of my sister is one of her when she was in elementary. She was usually the tallest girl in class, and the happiest. Everyday after school, she would walk home, with the most genuine, innocent smile. That’s how I still remember her. As my baby sister. I hope you enjoy every bit […]

Uninspired, unmotivated, directionless…Monday evening my nephew saved me from another night of binge watching on Netflix. Out of the ordinary, he calls me, and asked about my day. Really I wanted to reply, “kind of sh**ty.” I use to beg for a normal life…less work hours, more time to focus on dreams, more travel time, […]

We are 30 days into 2015, the best I can do is worry because that’s what I’m good at. Oh and making list in my mind before I sleep. The past few days the sound of wine pouring into my glass, the sun warming my face on the car ride home, movies with two star […]

A few months ago, my sister started making scarves and hats as gifts for us, so I wanted to tell her story. For her, this is a small first step closer to her dreams and goals. Because big dreams require big dreamers and people who believe in you, my sisters, Ish-shah, Carolina, and I decided […]

Last weekend began as a long to do list, but it started off great and ended better. I slept in Friday, maybe 8:30, read my new book, Eleven Rings: The Soul of Success. It’s a great read and inspirational. My friends joked about the book, “Why are you reading about basketball?!!!” More importantly, it’s about […]

My Saturday night going into Sunday midnight was spent on a couch pretending to watch a UFC fight. I dozed off several times or maybe slept through the whole fight, but I’m sure no one noticed. The best part of the night was spent eating Whataburger fries dipped in gravy on the ride home. FINALLY, […]

2014…good times, great times, happy times, sad times, tough times. In a lot of ways it has molded me into a new person that I’m afraid to be. The last few months, how I act, react, feel, think, have changed. Really, I’m afraid to leave a lot of things behind and happier at the same […]
