Being Her: Early Disclaimer Some May Be Offended By This Post

Writing this blog post took more than a minute as I have battled with the topic over and over for a few days. And trust me I have tried to find a way to write it that would be all rainbows and fairy dust. But being someone who tries to encourage everyone around me, I found it hard to write a blog post on a topic that I personally couldn’t suggest a concrete solution for. You see it is 2019 and, in a few days, we will be celebrating International Women’s day on the 8th of March. But there are...

February Magazine

February is generally the month where people start to slack on all the life-changing ideas and plans to which, at the end of 2018, they pledged their undying dedication. If that is you, don’t beat yourself up. Life is not a 100-meter race. It’s a marathon. The fact that you began the process—envisioning the various ways to improve your happiness, health, goals and overall value of your life—is already a great success. You are not alone in this! So instead of giving up, we are going to figure...

Driving Out Fear

This weekend, as I looked over my goals for the month, my long-distance friend, Fear, decided to stop by for a visit. For a moment, my to-do-list resembled Goliath, and a feeling of defenselessness and paralysis gripped me. Fortunately, I was able to usher Fear out by employing tools that allow me to reevaluate the reality of my situation and regain perspective. Having been in similar situations before, the combination of a 3-point fight formula, verb-ish people, good time management and self...

Personal Construction Sites

Starting over hurts…. moving on hurts…letting go hurts…growing hurts. To tell you that these periods in life will be fun-filled with colorful rainbows and fairy dust is to lie to you, and personally I prefer not to lie so early in the morning. In fact, I would rather rip the bandage off right now and let you know that change requires transparency, uncomfortable anguish and, in the beginning, you may even feel like you are going backward instead of forward. Great! Now that we have all the misc...

Apple Core

Disclaimer: This blog is going to be straight to the point (don’t say that you weren’t warned).

If you have been on my Facebook page lately, you may have seen when I posted: “You so busy chatting and judging Eve, when you still have a couple of apple cores caught in your throat.” Now this post came from a place of frustration, but it is still true. People…people…it is 2019 and we must-by now-know better. Lying under the pretense that we are not doing the right thing because we do not know any...
