A long time ago, I was referred to as a cheerleader. A morale booster. A person who brought levity to many situations. I laugh a lot. Sometimes, that makes people feel good. Sometimes, my laughter makes some people paranoid. It’s not like my laugh is maniacal. It’s just […]
Are there things you try to practice daily to live a more sustainable lifestyle? There will be many out there who will disagree with the advice I’m about to give. But, it’s my lived experience and what I have learned through some very hard lessons. In particular, I’ve […]
It seems that everywhere I turn, I’m confronting a lie. Misinformation. Masking of reality. Some people talk real fast to push through what is not true. Some spin a hundred and one stories to keep you from digging deeper. Let me tell you something. Just straightforward. We are […]

Continuous learning and development. No stagnation. That’s it. Not being stagnant is a big part of having it all. […]
How do you feel about cold weather? I am a warm-blooded person. I need heat and warmth. However, please keep humidity away. My hair, most certainly, detests humidity. Waking up to 100-degree Florida summers, for example, is unbearable to the overall well-being of my hair. Which is why […]
Are you a leader or a follower? Unfortunately, I was born to be a leader. Don’t get me wrong, I am a good leader. Some might disagree. But for the most part, I have led, fairly, equitably, and strategically. I have a way of seeing the big picture […]
Describe a risk you took that you do not regret. A few years ago, a primary care provider noted I’m high in sensation-seeking. I don’t like rollercoasters. Don’t care too much for ziplining. I’m not keen on parachuting out of an airplane. But maybe one day. However, I […]
