Here we go again about fitness. What is the right way? Everyone is different. First off let's be clear that we should never compare ourselves to others. The more we don't see that we look like someone else, the more discouraged we become and give up. We tell ourselves that it's useless. It truly doesn't have to be. If you have broken your wallet...

One of the great debates amongst mothers is deciding whether to breastfeed or formula feed. Long before scientists discovered how to make powdered-base formulas for babies, women were suckling their youngins. Breastfeeding has long been accepted and trendy in non-color communities as opposed to the black communities. Our ancestors have been nursing other women’s children, including their own, for years, so I’m not sure...

And be ye kind one to another, tender hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you. (Ephesians 4:32, KJV)  Forgiveness has not always been an easy road for me to travel down. When I would get hurt by someone close to me, I made excuses for their reasoning behind the hurt they caused me. I would always say, “It’s...

Becoming a solopreneur is the ultimate definition of ‘career goals.’ Not only is it a great opportunity to become your own boss and enjoy plenty of flexibility, but with the effective execution of the right business idea, it can also be very lucrative. Of course, the rewards go hand in hand with a number of difficulties too. And that usually means having to DIY...

Social and civil unrest. Worldwide protest against racial injustices. A global pandemic. High political tensions along with a rise in unemployment. Many of us are uncertain with how the remainder of this year will play out; 2020 hasn’t given us any breaks and we’re not sure if it will. There are real and present fears consuming the minds of so many people and it...

After a long week, I like to unwind. I have learned that if I don’t take care of me, then I am failing myself. Ultimately, I’m also failing the things I always desire to show up fully present in.  Recently, I’ve been up and down emotionally. I hate seeing what’s happening in the news. As a black woman, I also know it’s the reality....

It can be tough getting your little ones to maintain a well-balanced diet. For me, going to the grocery store with my kids can be a challenge. I’m the only vegetarian in my household. Both my older kids and husband eat meat, so you can only imagine what family dinners look like! Our six-year-old son is the pickiest eater I’ve ever encountered. All he...

Greetings Boss,      Lately, I have been coming across articles and headlines about women suffering from a mental illness, and the result of that has been them acting out or doing something they would not normally do if they were sane. As we know mental illness or a mental disorder is a wide range of conditions that affect mood, thinking, and behavior. I...

The feeling of loneliness is loud, uncomfortable, painful, and gut-wrenching. It finds a way to make its presence known even when it’s uninvited, forcing you to feel small and often unworthy. Unworthy of true relationships, joy, love, and light. There is no peace when loneliness is all you’ve ever known. It does not discriminate or attach itself to one gender, race, or religion. When...

I see you sis, working your 9 to 5, taking care of the kids, cooking dinner, cleaning the house, all while still being a wife … and looking fly while doing it! I SEE YOU! I applaud you for being such a boss! However, I also see your exhaustion. I see that you’re in need of a much-needed break. As women we are always...
