Everyone is in search of happines. Today I watched a video of Steve Harvey interviewing TD Jakes, who was sharing the five steps that will allow anyone to find happiness. Even though I consider myself a happy person, I, like everyone else in the world, am in search of happiness. Photo Source: Steve Harvey Show via Pinterest 1. Own your own happiness. 2. Challenge your own story. 3. Enjoy the journey, not the destination. 4. Make relationships count. 5. Balance work with play.

Magazine Overload
I recently used some airlines miles to subscribe to several of my favorite magazines. And today, I hit the motherload! I received not one, not two, but FIVE of my favorite magazines. Talk about magazine overload! 1. GLAMOUR Can I just say that I have a crush on Sandra Bullock? Surely I’m not alone, right? She “sped” into our hearts and “while you were sleeping”, gave a “two week notice” that she was all about “the proposal.” And while “hope floats”, she charmed us and won “Miss Congeniality.” Then for “28 days”, she tried to figure out the “divine secrets […]

My friend, Stacy Kendrick, and I played the […]

Although she was there to promote her book – The Body Book, her message was simple… “love your amazing body.” Photo Source: Cosmopolitan I thought that by purchasing […]

You can ask my mother about this, but when I was younger, I would always say that I wanted to be the next Barbara Walters. I would pretend I was a television newswoman, staring at my reflection in the microwave oven door, reading the news stories I had written. Then when I was about 16 years old, I began writing. I may have strayed from my original path as a writer from time to time, mainly because school and life got in the way. A couple of years ago, my passion for writing was reignited and I began a blog… […]
