Cinco de Drinko!

Yesterday was May 4th, better known as Star Wars Day. All hail the nerds and I mean that in the most respectful way possible. May the 4th be with you! Well. Now that that's over it's time to drink up. Don't ask me where I'm going. I  have no idea. A land far away filled with margaritas and different shades of tequila. Don't judge me. I need this. This has been an eventful week. My honey bun Elle celebrated her birthday this week providing me with my first studio session ever. I finally got back on the track! I'm running 5K at 47mins, not impressing but not depressing either. I'm running in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure this upcoming Sunday (May 12th, Mothers Day 2013) so I spent majority of my week soliciting donations. Soliciting has such a negative connotation but in reality that's what I did. I raised $208 out of $500 so I'm pretty confident I'll reach my goal come Sunday. Yesterday I hosted a brunch/information session to snag a couple more donations, let people know why I'm doing this and lowkey I really just wanted a mimosa.  These are just my thoughts. An end of the week recap. Time to get dressed, Ms. Marie is on her way. You guys make sure you make it to work on time tomorrow...

#BWBNYC: 15 Panels in 15 Days!

Hey guys! Blogging While Brown New York City (#BWBNYC) is over but all the tips and info are still FRESH on my mind! I thank Gina for allowing me to be part of the team and I'm SO glad I attended. I met some wonderful people from the talented Karen Civil to the beginning bloggers living in my own city. Gina made sure we stayed on schedule and all the panelists were extremely approachable for questions and pictures. The main thing I took away from this weekend is to be authentic. I am my biggest asset. So I must be the best me that I can be. Which shouldn't be hard because I'm the only me there is! In staying true to myself I've decided, instead of condensing all this info, I'd much rather touch specifically on what I took away. I sat through fifteen panels so over the next fifteen days I'll be sharing my thoughts and opinions on each individual session. I learned so much from this conference but because you guys weren't there next to me, si...

numb. or not.

TheFreeDictionary.com defines 'numb' as: " emotionally unresponsive ."  I thought I was numb but I'm actually the complete opposite of that. I've felt every emotion imaginable in the past 24 hours. Denial, frustration, anger, confusion, pain. I've laughed, cried, screamed. I took a walk. I took a nap. I ignored some calls. I answered some texts. I think I'm still in some weird, warped form of denial. The loss of a loved one is insane. It's motions you go through and emotions you're absorbed in. And it never gets easier. In fact, I feel like as you get older and as more people begin to return home way too soon it's like, "oh no, not another funeral!" When I was younger I wasn't where I am religiously or mentally. I didn't fully understand the power of having your whole life ahead of you and making every moment count. I surely didn't understand that you can't question His timing. You rely on it daily so to que...

Dear Diary...

Dear Diary, So. Clearly I haven't posted anything in about two weeks. I blame this little fact on LIFE. Well, actually, I would LIKE to blame life but I think I will blame REALITY instead. Life goes on around me and mentally I sometimes shut down. Luckily for me, when it comes to work I move in autopilot so I don't have to be fully present mentally to get the job done physically.  Well. At least that's what I thought. These past two weeks that I haven't written I lost two people very close to me. One I grew with for almost a decade and one I've watched grow. One whom I share a bloodline with and another who is family but doesn't share a drop of blood with me. I pushed myself to keep going because I know life will keep going around me and I fear I'll get left behind. I force myself to bury my emotions because I don't want to appear broken, although if anything were to break me this would be it. I force myself to not only stand up straight and shake it off...
