30 Days of Gratitude: Day 10 Without a doubt, Christmas is my favorite time of year! I’m that person that when November 1st comes, I’m fully in Christmas mode, and I want to decorate. Psychologists confirm people who decorate for Christmas early are happier. (Dare I ask, what could be better?) The smell of fresh-cut […]
30 Days of Gratitude: Day 9 “As women, we have to start appreciating our own worth and each other’s worth. Seek out strong women and each other’s worth. Seek out strong women to befriend, to align yourself with, to learn from, to collaborate with, to be inspired by, to support, and enlightened by.” — Madonna […]
30 Days of Gratitude: Day 8 Busy is the new rich. Slow down. Breathe. And gain more perspective on your life and embrace your chaos. Navigating through chaotic times can be a daunting task, to say the least. From getting the kiddos ready for school, making it to work on time, doing laundry, cooking dinner, […]
30 Days of Gratitude: Day 7 Feminism is often seen as stigmatized. I didn’t always consider myself a feminist. I wasn’t sure what feminism was in it’s entirety until my mind matured, and I began to understand what it truly represents. My immature mind and lack of knowledge led me to believe that being a […]

Writing is my passion. And it’s true. Freelance writing has changed my life. For the longest time, I thought I’d never become a writer. As I typed those words, it still seems so surreal. After years of sending several pitches to publications with no response, I became frustrated and gave up (for a while) on […]
30 Days of Gratitude: Day 3 If you have a slow Southern drawl while saying, “nawl and y’all,” chances are you’re from the South — I reckon. Or perhaps, if War Eagle or Roll Tide strikes your fancy, it’s likely you’re from “Sweet Home Alabama.” We don’t take football lightly! And if your Mama spoke […]
30 Days of Gratitude: Day 2 On April 22, 2016, I received a call from my Dad while I was at work, and he said to me, “Your Mom didn’t make it.” Instantly my legs buckled, and I dropped to my knees crying and screaming hysterically. My supervisor (at that time) rushed into my office […]
