Style Is in Your Heart Not Your Fashion!
Greetings and Good Monday Morning Everyone! Today, I wanted to write about something fun! Happy Monday, everyone! I hope all is well and that you're having an amazing day! I was inspired to write about "style". As I write this, I'm listening to a track called, 'Style', by my favorite, yes, you guessed it, Prince! While I rock my, Prince 1999, t-shirt and khakis.

"Your failures are not failures, they are your lessons"
Greetings and Good Morning Everyone, I hope all is well. I had a thought as I was listening to a "The Karen Hunter Show" on SiriusXM, on Wednesday, 4/29/2020.

This week, I wanted to take a moment to re

VOTE 2020! it counts DOGGONIT: "there is no room to point fingers...We all can do something!"
Greetings and Good Evening Everyone! I hope that you all are doing well! Today's topic is something that's been on my mind for quite some time. I've been thinking about with the voting season upon us, and everyone has an opinion about "what should be done", and "whom shall be doing this work." One of the reasons why I enjoy listening to the various hosts of SiriusXM Urban View is that they challenge me to do the work. One of the things that Joe Madison always says is, "what a

Greetings and Good Monday Morning! I've successfully made it around the sun once again, and hot damn, it's my 40th BIRTHDAY! Today, I'm gladly entering a new phase of my life, "The 40 Club!"

At that time, I my mindset was focused on the negative, and me wishing I could do better. It wasn't until I decided to think differently about m

Greetings and Good Monday Morning Everyone! I hope that you're all off to an amazing start! This morning, I’m motivated to write this post because, I’ve experienced a situation recently that truly bothered me. It kind of rocked my core, if you will.

Greetings and Good Morning, It's October! The month of autumn, ushers in cozy snuggle weather, warm marshmallow cocoa, greating reading material, and, yes, you guessed it #BreastCancerAwareness.

kick Schadenfreude with love!
Greetings and Good Morning, I hope all is well, and that you're off to a great start this morning. I've been thinking about the state of the world and our political and social climate over the course of the last 4 years, and especially during COVID-19 and quarantine. Last week, during the Presidential Debates I couldn't help but to think about how difficult it is sometimes, to remain positive in the midst of so much negativity. Michelle Obama once said, "we go high when they
