I recently had to ask myself “how well am I living my life?” Would I be satisfied with my contributions to the world, how I’ve taken care of myself, and how much enjoyment I’ve created in my life if my time on earth came to an abrupt end? These...

Y’all, I don’t even know where to begin. Once upon a time, my family was struggling financially. I know we were because I remember we had one tv and me and my daddy used to fight over it. Then, the next thing I know we loaded up the trunk and we moved to...

This too shall pass y’all, but until then, let us bake cake. That’s my motto for getting through the most stressful of times. The last time my world was this off center was over 10 years ago, when our angel baby Serene was in the NICU. During that time, it...
