Redemption

Today, at work, I finally got redemption on a situation that I thought would never get better. This morning, I woke up tired and I wasn’t ready for my coworkers who continuously socialize at loud decibels. The whole floor can hear them and listen to each and every word that each one says. Was straightContinue reading “Redemption”

Information Seeker

Currently, I have no topics that I need to be informed about which may sound arrogant or ignorant but that’s not the case. If/when I hear or see something that I am not very familiar with, I start seeking relevant advice about it from various sources like books and experts plus those who have beenContinue reading “Information Seeker”

The Rhythm of Life

Music has been my therapy in my life as much as impromptu road trips to the beach. During different phases of my life, I listened to a variety of music. Plus, I sang in many choirs as well. In my youth, I listened to old school Motown such as Diana Ross, David Ruffin lead singerContinue reading “The Rhythm of Life”

NYC from Above

This picture was taken on my flight from HPN (Westchester County AirPort) on the way to CLT (Charlotte) with final destination of DFW. Told my coworker who moved from there a few years ago that I took a picture of her old house. She laughed and thanked me because she’s homesick.

Holiday Celebrations with Change

When I was growing up, I celebrated the Holidays with family of Thanksgiving and Christmas. When I was in college for my undergraduate degree, I came home for the Holidays sometimes bringing home a friend or a roommate who couldn’t get to her parents house. As time went on, I was married and then divorced,Continue reading “Holiday Celebrations with Change”

To Tell The Truth

My title is from a past game show where contestants were tested on speaking the truth in situations that were difficult. My whole life, I’ve been speaking the truth when others who didn’t want to hear it from me especially my parents and my siblings. They believed it to be irrelevant to the current topicsContinue reading “To Tell The Truth”

Locally Sourced Farm to Table

When I went to high school in northern Michigan, there was a take out restaurant of a national franchise. This particular location refused to buy food products from the chain but chose to buy most everything from local farmers. People who visited from other places would mention that the food tasted better and different fromContinue reading “Locally Sourced Farm to Table”

Movement

Truthfully, I’m not a runner but have always been a walker for most of my life. When I lived in west Michigan, I always walked around my house because I felt safe but not so much in north Texas. Movement is important no matter if it’s walking, running or biking. My old neighborhood in MichiganContinue reading “Movement”

Neither Leader or Follower

Being born premature due to unfortunate circumstances and low life expectancy, I went through a lot of difficulties as a child into my teen years that effected my self esteem and confidence. As I grew older, I only wanted to “fit in” and be normal like others in my peers group but it never happened.Continue reading “Neither Leader or Follower”

Adventure is My Life

Adventure is beyond my favorite word because it describes more accurately my life. For me, it comes as a surprise or sometimes well planned lasting a few days or even a few minutes. Adventure can be trying out a new restaurant or driving a new route to work. After my divorce, my move to myContinue reading “Adventure is My Life”
