This post is going to be short...My only hope in writing is to positively impact readers. Many of us, especially the millennial bunch, joined the trend of seeking “the answer” to help us step into our destiny. We read books, spend hours reading quotes on Instagram and Pintrest, or watch “Guru” videos to help guide … Continue reading My Destiny? How do I get there?
I Reminisce: Summer Memories and AfroPunk 2013
Dear Summer: Thanks for an epic ending… I moved to Central Florida seven Summers ago. We have the beaches, Cinderella’s castle, great resorts and all that good stuff. Yet, sometimes all I want in the Summer months is to be able to walk down the block to the bodega to purchase my stash of Swedish Fish, … Continue reading I Reminisce: Summer Memories and AfroPunk 2013
Summer Is Almost Over..
I'm getting older. Older and wiser. I'm starting to say phrases that my grandmother does. Like for example, "Well would you look at the time?" or "Oh goodness, It's already 10 p.m." (LOL) Time truly waits for no man. I digress. It's been a long and productive summer. I had a tremendous learning experience at … Continue reading Summer Is Almost Over..

Just Dance

Say yes to Greens
This year I am taking the initiative to "go green." I've begun recycling, making use of natural sunlight until the evening, turning the faucet off instead of letting the water run when washing dishes and all that good stuff. In terms of my health I have begun to be more “green” through eating greens. I was … Continue reading Say yes to Greens
Nibble every Crumb!
I know it's almost 3am, but if only I were in New York I would head to Crumbs tomorrow morning! They have the best cupcakes. On my last trip up to NY I headed down to The Village to do some thrifting. I stopped into Crumbs and purchased their New Years Edition. It was soOOo … Continue reading Nibble every Crumb!

Ding Dong: Answering and Closing Your Own Doors
My Dad has this phrase that he used to quote to me every time I asked to go to a party or hang with friends back in the day. He would say (in a stern Jamaican voice): “Not every door bell ring yuh must answer.” In other words, it was a “no, you ain’t going,” “you better … Continue reading Ding Dong: Answering and Closing Your Own Doors
