How often do you dream about your future these days? I mean really dream. Not only the big, scary, I-may-need-to-hit-the-lottery dreams, but also the quiet ‘I wish I could do this one small thing but’ dreams. Now, how often do you talk yourself out of those very same dreams? Just today, I asked my daughter what […]

Hey, Like most of you, I was completely in awe with Beyonce’s performance at Coachella this past weekend. I felt so much #BlackGirlMagic pride throughout the entire thing — her tribute to HBCUs, her shout-out to historically Black fraternities and sororities, the array of Black music she showcased, the words of Nina Simone and Malcolm […]

Last year, after experiencing a number of big life transitions and on the heels of a move from San Diego, CA to Salt Lake City, UT, I felt unmoored. I felt like I had lost myself. I used to grab life by the horns. Jump in feet first. Say yes more than I said no. […]

There’s something magical about connecting to nature — breathing in the fresh air, listening to the wind rustle through the trees, feeling the blood pump through your legs as you hike, run, jump, soar. There’s something magical about getting away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, where time slows down and things seem […]

“If my phone dings, beeps, rings, or notifies me of one more thing, I’m going to throw it out the ducking window.” That was a text message I sent to my husband not too long ago. Complete with “ducking” because my phone insists on censoring me. Let me live, phone. I was stressed out because […]
