  Only 26 days away from the new year! I’m pretty excited about 2013! *Given that the world doesn’t end on Dec 21st like the Mayan Calendar says.*  2012 was both a tough and amazing year.  I lost my father this year in April.  That was pretty hard.  I still haven’t  gotten over it and […]

Every year I have a weekend trip to Miami to relax and unwind.  I turn my phone off. I don’t  tweet or “instagram” during that time.  I just do the things that I want to do and absorb “peace of mind”.  Well, unfortunately this year my schedule was thrown off so I couldn’t go to […]

Sunday morning I was eating breakfast and staring at this blank wall in my dining room.  Since I moved to Houston in November I could not figure out what to put on this wall.  Then it came to me on Sunday.  “I will put up a chalkboard!”  So I went online to look for a […]

  I told you earlier this week that I have decided for the next 30 days (until my daughter comes back for the summer) that I will have a new experience everyday.  Therefore, I have created a list of things that I have never done that I would like to do.  Rock climbing was on […]

Do You Leave or Do You Stay? Young Jeezy’s song “Leave You Alone” says it all.  ”She said I know you bad, but I want you back, She said makes me so sad that I gotta leave you alone” Have you been in this situation before?  You are with a guy who you KNOW isn’t right […]
