It seemed like it turned up all at once, the mass cancellation of everything in close settings. Major sporting events, schools, concerts, churches and so on. What is happening?

Another innocent black man’s life has been lost by what I believe to be a hate crime. Adding more proof to the fact that black and brown people are targeted no matter what they are doing. It always hurts knowing that it could have been my dad, husband, cousin or close friend and even worse…
I am officially done with being my daughter’s teacher for the school year. Thus far this year, it has been one of the hardest challenges, and I’m including being in quarantine.

The other day, was one of those days where everyone was getting on my nerves and I was quick to snap. I had to step away from the family and take a time out. I’m reading a plan in the Bible app, called “Habit of Happiness”. One of the devotionals that really spoke to me…
My husband and I were blessed to go to Negril, Jamaica for our 5 year wedding anniversary, it was amazing and life-changing. We went in the beginning of November, but the weather was a beautiful 80+ degrees, we stayed at Couples Negril Resort and enjoyed some wonderful experiences.
