Dear Sis,

I'll be honest with you... I had no idea what to write about. 

Usually, I have at least an inkling of what my topic will be before I sit down to type. But, this time????... Nope. Not one single ounce of inspiration. 

I find myself in this space more often than...

Dear Sis,

I've been itching for a much needed get away. With work and a super busy schedule, I wanted a few days to sit back and just recoup. This past weekend, I did just that! I decided to visit Puerto Rico, because I'd never visited the island.

Leading up to my tr...

Dear Sis, 

Auntie "O" said it best: 

"You can have it all -- just not all at once." - Oprah Winfrey

That quote has always given me pause. Why can't one person have it all?? 

My ambition likes to think it is totally possible to have everything your heart desires all at...

Dear sis,  

It's taken me a while, but I'm finally willing to admit it. Ready?... okay, here goes: I'm a control freak. I know, I know.... it’s terrible! I never wanted to be slightly associated with the term — let alone deemed one myself. I've met a few control fr...

Dear Sis, 

Do you watch "This is Us"?

I sure hope you do because it's one of the best shows on television! 

And, if you don't -- get your WHOLE life!  

"This is Us" is one of my all-time favorites! Yes -- I cry during just about every episode, and yes -- I love it! 

Well...

Dear Sis,  

Years ago, I was obsessed with other people's experiences. I'd find myself asking other women, generally older than me, how they managed to accomplish their success, or navigate live's journey. 

I always had a long list of "How-did-you" questions. Thin...

Dear Sis, 

I have a Superpower. 

I didn't inherit it. It blossomed over time. 

In fact -- I didn't even know I had it buried within me. 

It took years to bloom, and a ton of frustration to bring it out of me. But now, I use it every chance I get. 

I call it the Power o...

Dear Sis,

It's taken a long time for me to admit this, but I've finally come to the realization: I have a HARD time asking for help. It’s not the act itself, but more so my fear of being a burden — and, in some way feeling vulnerable (that’s another blog in itself lol...

Dear Sis, 

I've never been a person to do things "just because". 

I call myself a "sentimental do-er". Everything I do stems from some sort of affection. 

For instance, I love to write and I love people. So -- I'm a journalist. I knew that I could use my innate skills...

Dear Sis,

It’s funny how friendship works. You and your homegirl could live in two different states, work in completely different fields, have very different goals — yet, face the exact same challenge at the exact same time.

Isn’t that strange? But, then again I gues...
