Random rantings of the misfit kind.
I was listening to Oprah's SuperSoul Conversations podcast the other morning, and this one featured Pastor Wintley Phipps. This one in particular was about becoming the person you were created to be, and it was definitely a good listen. There was one quote that hit me hard though, one in which I realized was reflective... Continue Reading →
Who doesn't love Saturdays? The sleeping in, the laziness. Many of us spend our entire weeks just waiting for this day, refusing to put any positivity into the other days of the week in the process. We literally wish away our days, praying that Saturday will reach us quickly. Just think for a moment on... Continue Reading →
You ever struggle with wondering whether or not the positive energy you're attempting to send out into the universe is being received? Or that what you're creating isn't just for your eyes, ears, or mouth only? Sometimes it's difficult to ascertain whether or not you're making a difference, and in today's society, almost everything is... Continue Reading →
What do you do with a dormant blog? You pick it up, dust it off, and start writing again. Even when you've been stuck in what seems like the longest writer's block in your life. Or, if you're like me, stuck in a situation where your best ideas come to you in the middle of... Continue Reading →
Oh, to be a Millennial. Which of course, I barely know anything about. I'm literally on the cusp of the Millennial movement, stuck in between the end of Gen X and the first year of the Millennial generation. Early 80's babies, we don't really connect with those who were born in the 70's, and we... Continue Reading →
A couple of weeks ago I participated in an awesome event in CT, the 4th Annual Phenomenal Women Panel.

I grew up poor, with limited resources and opportunities. When the 90's recession hit, my family went from lower middle class to just lower class. Food banks provided food for us to "quiet the stomach rumblings" on hungry days, and one-room motel rooms filled with six family members afford us the luxury of having a roof over our heads to fight the frigid-ness of bitter New England winters that threatened our lives.
I know I typically hit you all with the motivational and inspirational posts, but I wanted to switch it up just a little bit this week. I've been long overdue for this post, but a lot of dope things have been coming out of my hometown (and the surrounding areas which might as well be... Continue Reading →
If someone told you, right now, to write a bio about yourself, what would you say? Would you list out your accomplishments? The jobs you've held? The places you've been? Or would you talk about where you grew up, the colleges you went to, and the degrees you've earned? You probably wouldn't talk about the... Continue Reading →
Have you ever had a conversation with someone about aspects of your life that you KNOW you need to change, and you kind of brush it off like, yeah yeah whatever. You hear them, but you're not truly listening to what they're saying. We all like to think we're completely right, and for the most... Continue Reading →
