Its the first week of 2012 and I’m excited to get started on the right foot. Like many, I have made of list of goals/resolutions that I would like to accomplish. Actually, in honor of 2012, I have made 12! Some may seem redundant, some simple, and others so complex I’m not sure how I [...]

The Face Of Gratitude Blessed Me

Thursday, November 24th, 2011

This week I met gratitude face to face. In the middle of a chaotic week, I learned I had more to offer when I had nothing to give. Like most women, I am constantly juggling my time to accomplish as much as possible in a 24 hour day. I make to do lists, trying to squeeze in [...]

A Unicycle or a Bicycle? #Inspiration

Wednesday, September 7th, 2011

How Do You Define Yourself?

Thursday, July 7th, 2011

How do you define yourself? Are you a Mom Blogger, Latina Blogger, Christian Blogger, African American Blogger, Green Blogger, Tech Blogger, etc? When I started my blog, I did not want to be labeled. I had too many labels already. I was a mother, sister, aunt, student, employee, foodie, gardener, crafter, painter and so much more. Yet each label [...]

She Survived a Fatal Bus Crash

Tuesday, June 28th, 2011

This has been a crazy month. My debit card was stolen and my account cleaned out, I forgot to return two rented tuxs and had to pay an exorbitant amount of money, and one of my best friends was in a horrible bus accident. That last one put everything into perspective. All else faded once [...]
