It's been a long while since I shared or wrote anything. I keep meaning to write- but I haven't felt inspired. I have distracted myself with Netflix and Hulu because I really didn't want to face myself again. But here I am - back for today. I decided to go through some of my drafts … Continue reading The Hairbrush

My “WHY” in China
It's hard for me to put into words all the things I have experienced these last 4 months. To be honest, moving here has probably been the most challenging thing I've done in a long time. It's not easy, and I do recall people telling me that it wouldn't be easy. But I did it … Continue reading My “WHY” in China
A Welcome Back Letter
I haven't posted in a long time. A very long time. And I'm not going to go into details about where I've been, or what I've done over the past year and a half since my last post (May 2018). What I am going to get into is why I'm back. To be honest I've … Continue reading A Welcome Back Letter

You Are Who You Hang With
I know we've all heard the phrase "you are what you eat", the same holds true for the people you surround yourself with. The more time you spend with someone, the more you become like them. It makes sense, right? I mean think about your group of friends, the people you spend the most time … Continue reading You Are Who You Hang With
Get going, Keep growing
Hey guys, guess what? We made it through the first month of 2018, can you believe it? How are you doing on those New Year Resolutions so far? How many of you have already broken your resolutions? Don’t feel bad, it’s absurd to think that on January 1st we are going to be totally different … Continue reading Get going, Keep growing
“You are my witnesses”…

Let's start with a mini vocabulary lesson and dig into the word "witness": Noun: A person who who sees an event, typically a crime or accident take … Continue reading “You are my witnesses”…
You’re gonna catch a cold, from the ice inside your soul…
Oh wait. Maybe. It's just from the ice outside. And the snow. And the negative degree windchills. In case you missed the headlines, the snow day pictures, or just are living on a warm island and bathing in the sun: Winter has finally came in Memphis. This past Friday this city shut down as it … Continue reading You’re gonna catch a cold, from the ice inside your soul…
