It has started to become a tradition that I buy myself a pair of shoes every year for my birthday. I love shoes that not only look great but are also very unique. I found a pair of shoes from one of my favorite brands and used my loyalty coupons to get a great deal […]
It’s the start of a new year. For some of you, it’s an attitude of “new year, new me”. For others, you may have already fallen off the bandwagon of your new year’s resolution. You’re not alone. I’ve been there before too. A few days before the new year, a piece of furniture that I […]
I did it. I barely made the cut but I voted today. However, it wasn’t an easy ordeal. I moved earlier this year, which placed me in a different county. I submitted my new voter registration card and assumed I was set for early voting. Wrong. I was listed in Suspense status, which meant there […]

Even as I’m writing this blog today, I had to professionally (as best as I could) let someone know they were stepping way out of bounds […]
Alright, so it’s not what you think. I’m sure some of you reading this may have a few instances where you wished you pulled out, but we’ll save that for another day. When I mention pulling out figuratively, there are more than a handful of situations where I did the opposite. The older I get, […]
I don’t think anyone could have predicted we’d be where we are now in 2020. Aside from a few inevitable road bumps along the way, I thought everything would be bigger, bolder, and more profitable. Sometimes the answers to our most fervent prayers come in the most unusual packages. Today, I finished up my new […]
