One day I woke up and started a blog.  I also started singing at open mic nights, large crowd events, and even at 5'4, modeling.  No one handed me anything with regards to these opportunities, I just figured I wanted to 4.0 my life to the fullest and never look back.  So what if I never tried?  What if I just gave up and said it was too hard?  What if it actually worked?

Look all around us today with numerous mom and pops rebranding and growing themselves again after a year of what seemed like pure darkness.  It is possible and it is doable, you just have to be the one to take that what if and say, what if I try.

So you want to remove the toxic folk from your life, but you still want to spill the tea?!?  Sorry friends, but that is not how it works, or at least clean up your spillage after you are done.  We want all these new happy and toxic free relationships, yet some of us are still the ones doing the spilling and clearly you are making the mess on your own white satin pants dear.  Not sure if you own white satin pants, but I do know how badly that would be to spill tea on it.  

Any who, let's chat today about this and how my name is STILL getting changed by the day... ONE N PEOPLE...JUST ONE AND ALL YOU DO IS SAY DEAN (think Dean of College) and add an A!!!!

Disclaimer: I do not need a chill pill and it is not the pregnancy, it has been something I have dealt with all my life and just hoping that people catch on...one day.

Royal affairs, courting, and the oh so wonderful gentleman caller are what Bridgeton has brought to me.  Yes, it truly is the ode to Gossip Girl set back in time and I LOVED IT!!!  Now do I love the advances we have today, heck yeah!  However the simple fact that one gets to know one another with a simple glance, tea date, and sign of a card...sign me up!  Well, don't sign me up because I am married, but you know what I mean.

Any who, welcome 2021, more Netflix greats, and another week ahead with the podcast.  Next week join me with Sadie and upcoming guests coming your way in this great new year (fingers crossed).

I skipped my normal latte and toast for a plethora of chocolate that was gifted to my husband...but chocolate plethora of everything is my jam and he's not mad about it.  My hips will be later, however enjoy the foods you want and let us get into today's episode, shall we.

I wanted to be reflective as the year of 2020 ends and remind myself that sometimes the struggle is the part we forget to acknowledge because it truly is just that, a struggle.  The struggle is actually the mini goals we made and speaks a lot to my episode from last week.  We come into this world in the dark, leave this world in the dark, so LIVE in the darn light.  Create a platform for yourself to stand strong on and enjoy everything your past and future self will do.

Whew...preaching is hard, but hey 4.0ing life right?!?  So with that being said, enjoy this beautiful day whatever you are doing and go eat some chocolate, smile more, and remember to find your light...mine right now is a hot latte with another chocolate covered oreo.

Hello folks!  So happy you are back to tune in and listen to what 4.0ing life topic I have today!  So today it's all about the little things and how to pronounce my name aka a little thing that drives me insane when people get mad at me for correcting them....but it's my name.

Any who, lets do this week and get closer and closer to 2021!

Another great Sunday here on the podcast with my girl Sadie!!!

Every first Sunday of the month Sadie joins me and adds some sweetness and spice for a "Sadie Says" perspective on all things Sadie Says It All.  From a mother to a wife, she also is a part of a reality show, collaborator, and just recently launched her very own YouTube series.  Where to get all the goods on Sadie... @SadieSaysItAll on Instagram.

So sit back and join us today for a multilingual Google lesson (yes we tried) and the topic of the month on what would you do differently if round 2 of a lockdown happened... me  = get up and move more because ice cream is not forgiving!

Another awesome podcast episode with my husband, who might I add today was on point!  The more I get him on here, the more he starts to enjoy the podcast life...maybe?  Either way join us today for some wants, needs, and leaf blower talk...oh and how I don't always make up words.

Happy Sunday

What a week this has started off to be because it is almost time to indulge the turkey, stuffing, and chocolate cream pie!  Yes, I live for the food.  I also have completed my shopping for the holidays WOO WOO and being pregnant with a toddler...that deserves 5 stars right there my friends.  However, I must admit I am one of those non-impulse shoppers who has 4 billion window tabs open on my phone because I am afraid to commit to the purchase...I know.  

Yes, if it is a sale of a lifetime I jump, but not right away.  I admit I have buyers remorse, sometimes.  So yeah that is today's talk and for those impulse buyers, send me your tips so I can just jump on down and not shuffle above before making the leap.

Happy Turkey Day Ya'll!
