Real Life Not Pretend: After 30 Edition. As Uncle Langston Hughes would say “Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair”. Learning to appreciate the valley moments in order to recognize our victorious peaks! My journey includes lots of unlearning, re-evaluating and declaring that even after 30 some of us are still winging it. It’s time to replace existing with LIVING abundantly in ALL areas. Join me in doing my BIG one and moving on to BIGGER & BETTER.
