Twenty-three days ago three young women were freed. They had been held captive for over a decade and the sad thing is they were held hostage a mere 3 miles from their abducted locations.

When Being Single Teaches You How Amazing You Are
I never dreamt I’d be single this long. In fact, I was engaged with the intention of being married by the tender age of 22. Now I’m 30. I’ve had a good run at the single life. I’ve discovered there is really more to life than having a relationship (who would have thought?). I wouldn’t… Continue reading When Being Single Teaches You How Amazing You Are

This journey in my career has been just that. A JOURNEY. I’ve been trekking upon the twists and turns of winding roads for the last 7 years with my faithful companion Jesus.

This weekend I attended a doctoral graduation ceremony out of state. The car ride was 6 hours long and my mom and I faced an additional 1 1/2 hour delay due to a four-car accident. Rumor had it there was a semi involved. Even though I didn’t see the accident I know it had to… Continue reading Friendship: Betrayal, Forgiveness & Reconciliation
The Party
I entered the room transformed. My previous attire consisting of sneakers, loose workout pants and an equally loose off the shoulder top were replaced by black skinny jeans, glittery shoes and the birthday girl’s personalized shirts. I had gotten rid of that cute black hat that was hiding the untidiness on my head and had… Continue reading The Party
