So excited for this on Sunday.  If you are in Charlotte, please join us...and wear your most colorful Hoodie (just because this is a protest doesn't mean you can't be fashionable)...




"Creativity is a Drug I can't live without"

How it All Gets Done…

So, yeah, I’m busy. I have a LOT going on, and you know what? I’m enjoying every minute of it. I’m happier than I have been in a long time. Why? A few key reasons come to mind:

(1) I not only started listening to God more, but I’m actually following directions.

(2) I’ve “Let it Go.” Those past relationships that were not healthy. Those people who were only meant to be in my life for a season. The things that I ABSOLUTELY cannot change. I’ve let all of those hang ups and distractions go. I had a true renewal of spirit on January 1. God works fast. Ask and ye shall receive, and oh boy, did I get what I asked for.

(3) I am finally taking the time to enjoy who I am, and where I am in life. I’m single, never been married without children or significant emotional baggage (says me). I’m now seeing that as a positive instead of a hindrance. And perhaps it’s because I am finally building a trusting friendship with a man that I can see has strong (read very strong and likely) potential to blossom into more. Who knows? Who cares? All I know is that I am smiling—even in the face of family drama, deaths, personal issues and more. God is so good. I can’t say that enough.

(4) Professionally, my life is so on point right now. I love what I do. I love who I work with. I love the people that are helped by my team’s talents. If that’s not enough to make the sleepless nights, long hours and weekend work worth it, I don’t what is.


The moral of the story? Love. Laugh…as often as possible and as much as you can.

#RockTheRedPump for #NWGHAAD

I know, I know...absolutely shameful regarding the length of time it has taken me to update this blog.  Ridiculous all the way 'round.  Stop shaking your head at me, I know...

Nevertheless, I figured if I was going to post something, it may as well be about something that could possibly save someone's life.  I'm sure you all get tired of me shouting to the rooftops about The Red Pump Project, but I can't help it. 

This is a fantastic movement, a nonprofit that is concerned with continually being out in the community, volunteering, educating, promoting, and raising awareness.  We, meaning women who look just like me, are being infected at an alarming rate for a number of reasons tied to lack of proper care, education and other socioeconomic reasons.  This disease is completely preventable, yet some do not have the tools to make sound decisions about their sexual health.  I'm educated.  I know the facts.  It's my responsibility to share that knowledge.  I implore you, my readers, to do the same.  Let's make a difference.  It's not always about how much money you raise for a cause (although that helps a great deal) it can be as simple as sending an email, changing your FB status for a day, RT'ing something on twitter, blogging on National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day---something, anything to spread the world and make people aware.  Education is key...knowledge is, and has always been, power.  Know the facts.  Know your status.  Get Tested.  And tell someone to do the same.
