What makes you happy? What makes you feel fulfilled? What makes your life feel meaningful? I started my journey to becoming an influencer in January 2021 with the following goals: post inspirational and relatable moments, gain thousands of followers, and make some money. Maybe even add — turn the hobby into a second career or even travel and connect with […]
“Don’t Forget About You!”
When was the last time you chose yourself over someone else? Y’all remember the TV anime show Pokémon? Where the Pokémon Trainer would have a Poké Ball and choose their Pokémon based on the battle they were in and what abilities and skills it had? (Sorry if that wasn’t a truly accurate description of the show, but I haven’t watched […]
“Even If Just For A Weekend”
When was the last time you did something spontaneous? On Monday May 10th I booked my flight to Chicago, IL to visit one of my good friends, Devin. I met Devin back in 2018 when he was recently new to Athens, GA. We met at the beloved CrossFit Liberate (“CFL”). Because there weren’t many Black or POC members of CFL, […]
“Pinch Cheeks Not Pennies!”
Are you living to work or working to live? First, happy 5 year attorney anniversary to me!! As some may already know my journey, I graduated law school May 2015 but didn’t get sworn in as an official attorney until June 2, 2016. Wow! 5 years already?! Second, let me just clear it up, in those 5 years I have […]
“Will You Accept The Challenge?”
What if we went through life never doubting ourselves? I turned 31 five days ago on May 22nd 😊 At the oldest I have ever been in my life, I feel the best I’ve ever felt in my life. (Or maybe I am just at a wiser time in my life where I am actually doing internal reflections to know […]
“Learn How to Just Be.”
Do you know how to just “be”? If so, how do you do it? Yes this is a 2nd post this week. My mind was fluttering with thoughts that I had to get them on paper. This blog is not just a motivational and inspirational source for my readers, but it is also an outlet for me. Today is my […]
“Area Code 7-2-4”
If you could choose to live anywhere in the world, where would it be and why? “Do you plan to move back home to practice law?” “What made you move to Georgia from Pennsylvania?” “Where is your family?” “You moved down here by yourself?” Those are some of the questions I’ve heard over the past 8+ years of living in […]
“Crushing Fitness & Stereotypes!”
“According to the CDC, around 10.5% of the population of the United States had diabetes in 2018. 11.7% of those diagnosed were non-Hispanic Black people and 7.5% were non-Hispanic white people… Around 1 in 3 U.S. adults have prediabetes.” Have you checked your A1C lately? “But doctor, I don’t eat sweets!” “Hey, doc, you know I work out 5 days […]
“Extra Cheese, Please!”
What would you do for companionship? It’s spring time, the sun is poppin out, and it’s inevitably wedding season! One of my good friends gets married in just 6 months! I can only imagine what emotions and feelings he and his fiancee are feeling right now — wedding planning is a craft in its own, let alone trying to get […]
“Just Say ‘No’ Isn’t Just for Drugs”
When was the last time you said ‘no’ and felt no guilt about it? “Read daily.” Last year I made my very first vision board — all the magazine and newspaper cutouts, the colored paper and markers, the shiny stickers and motivational quotes, the works. But then we see how 2020 unexpectedly unfolded… This year I chose to make a […]
