One of my favorite artist, CeeLo Green, just dropped a new project called “Heart Blanche”. Basically it’s a play on the word we use for total control “Carte Blanche”. It’s about giving your heart total control. Let’s marinate on that thought….are you ready to go higher? The Holy Ghost, The Ancestors, The Gods, Your Knower, Oprah…

Your parents, spouses, children, and society’s views and standards all impact how we see ourselves and or how we measure our successes or accomplishments and the lack thereof.

This Fall look reminds of my childhood days rolling my pant legs up so I could race and play with the boys in my neighborhood. I would roll those wide leg jeans, (yes I’m a 70’s baby) or cords up in a second to race them on my bike, on foot and occasionally to hand out good ole mind changing “so you think you can beat me because I’m a girl” beating. Then one day, when I was about ten or eleven years old, all that changed. I came home from school and my cousin who was living with us at the time, brought home a friend from school. He…

Let The Snack Battle Begin
It’s Super Bowl Sunday! No one will admit it but to most Americans, this is a holiday. Just as the CME (people who only go to church on Christmas Mother’s Day & Easter) make it to Sunday service, as does all of America become football fans! We all sit around and watch what is kinda like a modern gladiator war. Don’t get me wrong I was raised by a single Father with brothers and mostly male cousins, so football season was like the “ Holy” season in my house. Yes the Super Bowl was the high holiday! With all the SuperBowl Parties, Football pools, betting, and wagers that will be…
