Chasing Joy Vision Board Party
The Chasing Joy Vision Board Party was this past Sunday. It was a great success. Twenty-three women gathered together to focus on their goals and overcoming obstacles to get the joyful life they deserve. I could not have asked for a better group. They were kind, open, and generous of spirit. I loved the conversations that were taking place. I loved that our age range covered early 20s, 30s, 40s, and possible 50s (black don’t crack so it’s hard to know for sure). It’s never too soon or too … READ MORE

5 Traits of A Good Man To Pass On To My Son
Today is my dad's birthday. He would have been 79 years old. It's crazy that he has been gone almost 10 years now. This year I became a mom and it makes me sad that my son will never know his One Pop period (that's the name he wanted his grandchildren to call him, LOL) However, one of my greatest blessings is how much my son looks like my dad. It's kind of like I get to see him everyday and my little boy. The thing is I don't want my son to just look like my dad. I want him to become the kind … READ MORE
