Over the last couple of years, I have noticed an increase in Facebook users who want to paint themselves as philosophers, experts, and other people of importance. But sadly, people that are hungry to follow will latch on to just about anything. Now of all the phonies and philosophers, the ...

FEEL THE HEAT Since I love all things HOT-Lanta grown, I don't think it will come as a surprise that I am a HUGE fan of Ciara (Atlanta R&B artist). So I was absolutely over the moon when she did a duet with another of my favorite artists, Justin Timberlake. Love Sex Magic (click here ...

No He Didn't Ask Me That! This past week was crazy for me.  Between events and deadlines, I was swamped.  D id I mention that I also had to do a million things in regards to caring for my disabled father.  And of course the job of being the 'favorite' auntee is never done.  So needles...

Yesterday I wrote about feeling like a failure.  Then my friend Sandra kicked me in the shins and I pulled myself up by the boot straps.  I found this neat little article another blog that I like to visit called 10 Tips for Overcoming Failure.  The Freedom Personal Development Blog offe...

Since I discovered my sensitivity to soy, I have all but eliminated it from my diet.  I am feeling better, but I can't seem to start the weight reduction process again.  I'm doing everything the same as before the soy disaster, but my body doesn't seem to be responding.  Needless to say...

For the past couple weeks I have been enjoying the benefits of a vegan diet.  Removing meat from my diet meant that I would have to replace it with something else. Naturally, I chose soy.  And boy did I overload.  Soy milk, soy meat, soy ice cream.  Well you get the point. After abo...

Well I'm happy to say that after nearly 3 weeks of 'living green', I am happy to be loving live again.  Its amazing how FEELING better can change your entire perspective on life.  I have been focused heavily on changing poor habits and the results are staggering.  I'm not mu...
