I must ust say, a lot is going on in February. We have Valentine’s Day, Go Red (heart awareness), Ash Wednesday, a 29th Day and BLACK HISTORY MONTH. I love learning, teaching and sharing the accomplishments of my people (past and present). Since we all love to travel and adventure, it only makes sense my […]
Black History Month Tribute: Coming From Darkness Into The Light
Considering my ancestors didn’t choose to come to America as an “ideal” place to settle, as we would say it, “we didn’t find Plymouth rock, Plymouth found us”, I’m still astounded with all the accomplishments made and barriers broken even in the midst of adversity. Because of this, I don’t overlook and bypass February as another […]
International Women’s Day
It’s time to celebrate! Not just for me but for all women around the world because it’s International Women’s Day. We’re acknowledging women’s achievements; economically, politically and socially, and taking effective action to advance and recognize women while working towards greater equality. It’s time to Make It Happen! Ironically, at church, we celebrated women’s day. It’s a […]
Let’s Go Red: National Wear Red Day
Let’s face it, as women; we don’t think it will ever happen to us. But, the truth is heart disease effects 1 in 3 women. Honestly, I didn’t think much of it until my mother had a heart attack nearly 8 years ago. Thankfully, I’m blessed to still have her with me. And, she recovered […]
What Does A Travel Lover’s New Year Resolution Look Like?
You made it through the first week of the New Year! Did you make any New Year resolutions? Better yet did you break your New Year resolution already? No worries, I’ve been there. I just love this time of the year because everything is fresh and clean…..just what the doctor ordered. Now, as a travelling […]
Do You Believe In Christmas Miracles?
“This is the season for miracles.” I always believed miracles can happen around Christmas. But, I use to think the statement; “this is the season for miracles” was more of a holiday cliché. Until 1 year, I received a Christmas miracle…. Unfortunately, I got laid off from my job and had to pay cobra. Even […]
Are You Giving Back This Thanksgiving?
I have a confession to make. Every year, I always donate food and/or give money to the Thanksgiving food drive. However, this year for some reason, I completely got caught up in my own agenda that I didn’t do what I intended to do. You see, every year at my church we have Harvest Sunday, […]
Pretty In Pink: Breast Cancer Awareness
Git your pink on! I know, October is coming to an end and we are getting excited about dressing up for Halloween. But, I couldn’t let this month pass without acknowledging Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We are all ladies and I’m pretty sure most of you know someone who has been effected with breast cancer. […]
Special Moments In NYC: Captain’s Last Stand
It came down to the final moments. I was standing up with my eyes wide open and waiting in anticipation. And, my buddy was sitting on the edge of her seat biting her nails. No, we weren’t watching a scary movie. We were doing something much better than that. We were at a baseball game….you […]
9/11: A Day of Remeberance
When I went to church, I was given a pink carnation. On the flower, there was a small tag attached to it and it said, “We will never forget. The pink carnation symbolized remembrance. He heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds.” (Psalms 147:3). It amazes me how I clearly remember what I was […]
