What My Long Beach State Track T-Shirt Symbolizes to Mean
My collegiate track and field days were short-lived. After skipping the season my junior year in high school and having an awful senior year season I steered away from the track while attending Santa Ana College (Rancho Santiago Community College). But the sprinter’s bug bit me while attending California State University, Long Beach (affectionately known…

These Three Things I Ask From Strong Women…Yeah YOU!
Eloyce Mitchell is my friend Carman’s mother. She sent me this powerful image on Facebook and I posted it along with the message that you see below. I knew that I couldn’t possibly tag every woman that I know on Facebook (because I’m bound to forget someone), and I know that not all of…

You Do Know That Silent Treatments Are a Form of Abuse, Don’t You?
Many of you know that I’ve been an advocate for survivors of abuse for many years. As a person who in the past has been physically, verbally, psychologically, and financially abused it’s important to me that we reveal all of the tactics used by abusers to wield a false-sense of “power” over their “victim”. I…

Still a Profound Message About Marriage, Career, and Family
Here’s another message that I reflect upon from the past. On April 5, 2016 I wrote this message as a reflection to a Facebook post written by a man who was reflecting over his marriage and the ups and downs that he experienced trying to juggle marriage, career, and family. I shared the message as…

Ladies In Case You Need Another Reminder…
Let’s journey back to November 30, 2016 for a moment. I wrote this message for girls and women worldwide, to add more positive energy to our #GirlPower. As I sit here in deep reflection I decided to look back on my past messages to see where my mind and heart were at those times. I…

The Year-End Goal Carryover Must Stop Now 😂
I saw this and fell out laughing. If this is honestly you, just go ahead and knock it out this year. I know I’m guilty of “year-end carryover” and not in a good way. Life is too short to end it with regrets. Focus on accomplishing some of those goals THIS month. Then every month…

Visual Highlights of 2017 Through My Lens
If you know me then you know I’m very sentimental and I cherish the smallest things that have the deepest meaning to me (even if irrelevant to others). I still have artwork, books, and keepsakes from my childhood. I’m also the designated photo archivist in my family. I love pictures—taking them (not necessarily posing for…

Thought of the Day: Accountability Partners
I need accountability partners. I can’t have a wealth mindset and you have a broke one. I’m focused on a healthy lifestyle while you’re on a toxic crash course. I can’t be a warrior while you’re a victim. I can’t be pushing forward while you’re going in reverse. Iron sharpens iron. If you aren’t iron…

Thought of the Day: Stand up to The Bully and Reclaim Your Power
My parents raised me not to bully others. They also raised me to stand up to bullies. They taught me not to start a fight. They also taught me that if someone started one with me, that I was to finish it–because “we don’t run from anyone!” They taught me to defend others and speak…
