This Wednesday, I want to call attention to a warrior that created a project to protect and defend animals of all kinds. She knew there was a need in the community, and had the vision to make a difference. And she did. Our furry friends cannot advocate for themselves. They need us to protect and care for them just like our children. Therefore, it is extremely heartbreaking that there are instances when they are abused, or simply neglected. It literally hurts my heart, bringing tears to my eyes. My Warrior Facebook friend, Monica Ailey (alias Mo), decided to take matters in her own hands and do something to help change…

Have you ever had an inkling of intuition telling you that a person you just met you can befriend and trust, while others you instantly want to run away from ? Has this happened to you ? I know it has for me. I recall a friend of mine introducing me to a couple of her new acquaintances from work. One was bubbly and energetic, while the other disinterested and preoccupied with his own agenda. There was no confusion about it, I disliked the latter. While others were talking, he seemed to be in another plane and bored. His only thought was to “ONE UP” the person speaking. There was…

Have you ever had ideas of traveling to exotic places, living in a mansion, or maybe speaking on stage to a large audience and then simply dismissed it as childish dreams ? This could never happen you observe. Look at where I am ! I hate my job…I can barely pay my bills…and I’m scared to death people will laugh at the things I have to say ! Is that you ? Isn’t that most of us ?  I’m interviewing a woman who looked outside that box ? she was in. She saw that despite the odds, we all have so much potential inside that we never bring to the…

This Warrior Women Wednesday post involves a topic that brings tears to so many. Women and their families struggle with pain, guilt and anguish of domestic abuse. Some feel so helpless and alone. A social media friend of mine had joined a service that does something to intervene. My heart is happiest when I can introduce yet another creative and selfless soul that deserves recognition. Teri King, is among several women that are multi-talented and living a life that includes serving others. She is an author, tour guide, real estate investor, courier and in her spare time, helps domestic abuse survivors find that light at the end of the tunnel…

It all started with one Facebook post of mine, and I knew I was hooked to see what this is all about ! Is that Left or Right brained of me ??? I had to take THIS TEST to find out. Please try your hand at it as it’s pretty interesting. https://www.arealme.com/left-right-brain/en/ “Everybody doesn’t see exactly the same color,” Dr. Vaughn explains. “When you call something red, your friend might see it as red, but they’re not seeing exactly the same wavelength as you.” seen from Health magazine. Still, he thinks the more likely explanation is that it’s contextual, and that much of it has to do with what the person…

Funny thing about people. We try to avoid pain and discomfort more than we strive for gain. Most people tend to focus on the negative rather than the positive. I believe that’s the reason why we hear “What am I doing wrong?” rather than “What am I doing right?” Let’s talk about pain for a minute. A lot of people struggle with the pain of public speaking. Where does that pain come from? It’s a fear of feeling vulnerable in front of other people. Would we feel as vulnerable if we knew we could give a presentation flawlessly? No. We are afraid of making mistakes and looking silly. What if…

Here we are again on Wednesday highlighting a life-saving program and a truly caring individual that works for the non-profit called “Standup for Kids”. They help homeless youths with food, housing, mentoring and a welcome hug. There are several branches and probably one near you. I recently met Donna Katsoudas in a Home Depot in my neighborhood, and as we chatted, I learned about her courageous spirit and warm heart for her fellow man. This is a gift especially now-a-days with so many at risk. I have a soft spot for this as my brother has been homeless for many years. I worry so much about him not knowing if…
