TELL IT AGAIN #AuthenticiteeSpeaks
I remember being barren for the first 4 years of my marriage. It was a difficult time. My side of the family is small but I married into a huge, supportive and loving tribe. And Lord were my prayers answered! I mean like literally almost everyone had 3 – 6 children each. Just a kabillion […]
AND WHAT WILL WE DO WITH THE TIME THAT REMAINS? #Authenticiteespeaks
About a month ago or so; my daughter, one of my best friends and I went to see Toni Morrison’s documentary entitled: Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am It was SPECTACULAR. Riveting from beginning to end.

LOVE & VODKA by Christina Strigas | Book Review
Couldn’t wait to partake in what she was serving. Extraordinary poetry. An air of mystery. Passion. Fortitude. Fire. Creativity. Transparency. Love. Lots of love. Love for life. Love for humanity.

MEET LUPUS WARRIOR DYON DAVIDSON | Volunteer Spotlight | #LupusAwareness #BreastCancerAwareness
In a time where positivity is almost trendy and catchy hashtags prevail, it’s a blessing to come across genuinely inspiring souls. Determined to streamline the at times habitual “scroll, scroll, like” syndrome of social media in my own life, I periodically reassess the accounts I follow to see what really speaks to me.

A loved one, friend or acquaintance is struggling to cope. You notice they’re down, withdrawn, depressed or even […]
