I know that everyone has had that conversation with friends, or whoever, and to paraphrase “if I could do it over again!” phrase comes up. Then the conversation turns into all sorts of the shoulda, coulda, wouldas. Well, that phrase sparked this blog. Those words resonate throughout my mind, body, and soul daily. If I … Continue reading Note To Self

Top 20 Distinguished Banquet
When I say it was an honor, I mean it. Every year the school that I teach at top 20 students in the graduating class honor a teacher that has influenced their educational career. This was my first year! I was completely surprised because I rarely ever have the opportunity to teach, let alone, meet … Continue reading Top 20 Distinguished Banquet
Vegas Fight Weekend But No Fight!
Vegas was over a month ago and I’m already ready to go on another trip. People need vacations. In March, I was feeling so drained, with work, school, and mommy duties. It seemed like I never had a moment to myself. So, I kind of put it out there on Snapchat that I wanted to … Continue reading Vegas Fight Weekend But No Fight!

Bulls vs. Rockets
I am a basketball and football fan but the way that the temperatures are setup in the Midwest I prefer to attend basketball games because I don’t like to be cold. In the fall, I stated that I wanted to see a few of my favorite NBA players play this season. I had two options. … Continue reading Bulls vs. Rockets
The Great Xscape Tour
When Xscape performed during the BET Awards the group realized that everyone was still just as in love with their music 20 years later, as we were of them. Days later they announced that they would be doing a reunion tour. I knew that I wanted to be all over that. Tour dates were announced … Continue reading The Great Xscape Tour
4:44 Tour
When I heard that Jay-Z was going on tour I knew immediately that I needed to be there. So, I waited patiently for the tickets to go on sale. Keep in mind it’s the middle of July when I’m waiting and the concert wasn’t until December. I was able to find decent 200 level tickets, … Continue reading 4:44 Tour
