It’s finally starting to cool off here in Southern California. Who knows how long it will last? I’m sure we’ll have a few more weeks/months of heat ahead of us. For now, the cooler weather has me mentally getting ready for Fall. I’ve already been talking to my family about things we must put on […] Read more…

I Learned from Jeff Jenkins
Not too long ago, I was rocking my Summer braids. Regretfully, it was time to take them out. I love the ease of having them and not worrying about my hair. What I don’t like is how long it takes to remove them. Argh! My daughter always jumps in to help me. This time was […] Read more…
Today’s Mission: Un-box yourself
You’ve seen them all over the place. Un-boxing videos are crazy popular. From toys to food, we’re sharing what we get with the world. What really shocked me though is how popular these types of videos are. My kids got sucked into them with the toy videos and passed the craziness on to me. There […] Read more…
I went on vacation with Oprah!
Last month I had the pleasure of going on a girls vacay with Oprah and Gayle. You see how I wrote that like it’s an everyday occurrence! Ha! I wish! It was quite the experience and I won’t soon forget it. I went on the Girls Getaway cruise with my sisters from the O Magazine […] Read more…

As a producer under the networks umbrella, the frenzy of Hollywood in general and award season in particular – ended up on my plate […] Read more…
Why we wait for permission and how to stop
I was reading a blog post not too long ago and something struck me. The writer talked about the idea that we wait for permission to do the things we want to do. She said it was something so many of us do and wanted to know why? That really resonated with me. It reminded […] Read more…
How to tackle the scariest goal
What’s your number one goal right now? What’s the thing that you just have to get done? It could be anything really. Smaller goals are the ones we like. They’re easier to check off the list. It’s those bigger ones that give us problems. The big goals intimidate us, they scare us and they seem […] Read more…
This dream could change me
For most of my adult life people have randomly asked me where I’m from. I’ve always answered Detroit. They’d give me a probing look and ask where I’m “really from”. So, I’d say I’m “really” from Detroit. That’s all I had. They’d make guesses as to where my ancestors may have been from. I’ve heard […] Read more…
A Drop in the Bucket (List)
There are a million and twelve things I’d like to accomplish at any given time. I’ve been told I’m a busy body. I think I just have a whole lot of goals, people!!! Since I have all these must-do’s, I also have a lot of lists! It just feels so good to cross things off […] Read more…
