I was recently asked to write about myself without disclosing my race, ethnicity, age, where I was born, or level of education. Usually, I have a response for everything but on this day, I was stuck, this was going to take me a while. I started with Self: A person’s essential being that distinguishes them from others, especially considered as the object of introspection or reflexive action. Most…

The Dreaded Word

Cancer—a word that no one wants to hear, and everyone fears the experience. It’s a group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells. There are many types of cancer, each with its own unique characteristics and behaviors, often named after the place where they originate. According to a recent report by the American Cancer Society (2024), there are 5,480…

B.I.G.

I know it’s been a minute since my last entry. The pandemic and quarantine has really allowed me to focus and get some things accomplished. It all started this one night… I jumped up out of bed like someone shook me and yelled something at me. I didn’t like the feeling. Matter of fact, I tried to shake it off because normally I am up at 3:00 a.m. I thought ahh… It was all a dream but it wasn’t…

Pass Over

Just yesterday I was at the grocery store during my lunch hour picking up a few items. After I quickly made my selections I walked over to the check out line which were quite long even self check out and 10 items or less lanes. So there I stood in line and the cashier says to the gentleman behind me “Sir, I will take the next person”. I immediatelybecame annoyed and asked if she didn’t see me…

Sixteen Candles

My cousin recently turned 16 years old and the celebration was one for the books. Her Sweet 16 event definitely reflected her style, personality, and character. The mic was left open for people family/friends to congratulate her on this milestone and the praises just wouldn’t stop. At one point I really wanted to cry listening to all the good things her friends and classmates had to say. I have…

Jack-in-the-box

Lately I have not been feeling like myself. I really feel the need to have to tip toe around everyone and only reveal myself at carefully calculated opportunities to spare feelings, to make sure they only see me in a certain light, or simply try not to blow my top. Almost as if I was a jack-in-the-box. A toy item in the shape of a box with a crank. When the crank is turned, a music box located…

WINNING

For the longest I found myself trying to figure out how to succeed… In life, at home, in school, at work, wherever! About two years ago I ran across a video by Dr. Eric Thomas (https://youtu.be/7Oxz060iedY) where he is speaking to an audience and he says “I can’t explain it but you better feel me… Winners WIN and Losers LOSE!” and I sat on the edge waiting to hear the reason and the how and…

2020

I might wear glasses but trust me when I tell you I see perfectly clear with or without them. It’s simple, having Sight + Vision = Goals. We all have sight whether perfect, diminished, or even blind sight. Coupled with a vision which is the power of seeing allows you to manifest your thoughts, concepts, and truest potential into something attainable, GOALS.   We should apply the concepts of sight…

Puzzled

So I see you’re still trying to figure IT out… What ever your IT might be. Where did you go wrong? Why didn’t you get the offer? Why didn’t the relationship work? How did you manage to get yourself in the position your in? FIRST allow me to offer some advice… and while it won’t put your curiosity to rest just know that some things, people, and situations are not meant to be understood. You may

A matter of seconds...

A matter of seconds…

Time has a wonderful way of showing us what really matters… It’s all about your perspective. A second, which is a unit or measure of time can be at the speed of light and snap of the finger. On the other hand to someone awaiting something, it can feel like an eternity. In a matter of seconds, there can be the birth of a child, the death of a loved one, a missed opportunity, or a life-changing…

The Struggle

The struggle is real… People don’t like to talk about depression or mental health. Like it’s taboo or forbidden as if mentioning that you are going though a struggle with something or mentally ill makes you less than which is just not the case. Maybe people don’t concern themselves because it would require them to take action/a step in helping or hearing someone out. Even I have had my days and…
