  Tomorrow is New Year's Eve! Can you believe it? Again, I cannot. I'm still trying to wrap my head around how I blinked and it is the end of the year.   All-in-all it wasn't that bad. It started off a little squirrelly but once March 1st hit, it seemed to be smooth sailing. Sure, there were still bumps along the way, but that's life and I kept moving forward.  I think the word for 2024 was, “Lessons.” I had my fair share of them—from saying goodbye to starting new… It was all about the lessons. I think maybe that's why this year went by so quickly for me because it was a constant rotation in adapting. I was never stuck or felt stuck. There were plenty of sad moments, but I allowed myself to grieve… I just didn't stay there.  There were plenty of amazing moments too. Landing in NYC to recharge after a very intense week in Paris. Sticking my toes in the Caribbean Sea after being hospitalized. Having a moment of clarity so I could return to myself. Taking myself o...

  Hello, all! I hope you have a fantastic Christmas. Mine was wonderful. It was relaxing, fun, full of laughter,     and delicious food.   This whole break has been glorious. It is exactly what I needed. I still stand saying, “I can't believe this year is almost over.”  Up next, dancing into the New Year. Last year at midnight I watched fireworks because I couldn't do anything else. I injured my foot in November and there was no way I could continue my tradition of dancing when the ball drops. Luckily, my foot is all healed up and my tradition continues.  I guess while I am at it, I should address the elephant in the room. My last post was all about taking the first step in regaining a lost friendship this year… via an apology. Well, I'm glad I did. Not only am I dancing into the new year, but I am going into it without any regrets… or things I could have done to better a poor situation.  Sometimes, you have to be the first person to take that first st...

  I keep having dreams about my friend—the one I haven't spoken to in months.   In my lifetime, I have had a few fallingouts with certain friends and family members. Usually, it’s not that long before forgiveness is handed out and we both move on from the errors of our ways. It’s very rare if I ever have a falling out that lasts.  The ones that haven’t lasted, I know our relationship ran its course and I have completely deleted them from my life.  However, this “friend” is important to me. The course we were on is complete, but only because a new one needs to find its way. Also, we are both equally guilty of the way things turned out.  So, I did something that I don't usually do—unless someone is extremely important to me and I see the value in our relationship. Regardless of the turmoil or ups and downs it went through.  I apologized… Given that it is Christmas, but also because I know I have been on their mind as well.  More importantly, I don't want...

  With every chapter came a song title, with every word came some inspiration.  FALLING FREE SUMMARY… More than a decade ago, Hope Harlow, a writer living in New York, shared an unforgettable weekend with Alex, a man she met on the sun-kissed shores of Ibiza. Their connection was deep, passionate, and life-changing, but after losing touch and exhausting every effort to find him, Hope resigned herself to the belief that some things were simply meant to be lost.  Until fate steps in and unexpectedly brings Alex back into Hope’s world.  Alex’s return offers the love Hope always dreamed of—but it’s also a reminder of the complications that come with timing, distance, and the choices we make.   As the rekindled passion between them threatens to sweep her off her feet, Hope must confront whether their love is truly meant to be… or just a bittersweet moment of a lost time. Can love that was lost truly be found again? Is their reunion a twist of fate, and do second chan...

  I thought I wasn't going to write another post until next year, yet here we are… Writing one more post again.   Winter Solstice is next Saturday and that day is meant for reflection and manifestation. During the reflection process, you let go of what no longer suits you. You put it to rest along with the long winter’s night. After that, you usher in, you create space for what you want from the upcoming year.  Honestly, I can't believe this year is almost over. It literally feels like it just started. This year, I took quite a few hits: I lost two uncles, my job, and a friend. However, I gained a lot as well.  Many lessons were learned. When I was hospitalized from a cold that turned into bacterial pneumonia then turned into sepsis… I learned that life is short and not worth a job that doesn't want you or a friend that tosses you aside. I learned to take the trip!  I learned I can manifest and create the career I want and the book series I want to write.  ...
