Several years ago my parents were visiting. We were walking on the beach and I was sharing with my mom where I saw things going in my life and the life of my family. I’ve always had big dreams. This day was no different. I was talking about where I saw my career going. I […] Read more…

We think we have to choose
We’ve been told time and time again that we can’t have it all. You can’t have the dream job and the man of your dreams. Choose. There’s no way you can be an awesome mom and have a thriving career. Choose. Personally, after my second child, my old employer wondered out loud if I’d be […] 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…
Motivated Mama: DeAngelia
For this “Motivated Mama” interview, I talk to a college classmate. She’s building a boutique while raising a family. She shares some of the joys and struggles that come with really going for your dreams. It’s not easy, but surely worth it. Camesha: Tell me about your passion. DeAngelia: My passion is simply to help […] Read more…
The Thing About Purpose…
You know what I hear a lot? I hear people talking a lot about “your purpose.” On the other side of that, I hear people screaming “what is my purpose?” It’s a tricky thing. Once you find it, it’s this a-ha moment where things start to make sense. The thing is while encouraging others to […] Read more…
Living the Dream?
I was sold. Hook line and sinker. I wanted it all. I wanted the house, the car, the husband, the kids, the career and all of the “things” that say I’m rocking this life thing. I got it all sewn up! There’s this idea that if you drive a certain car, wear particular clothes and […] Read more…
If I Needed A Reason to Be Inspired…
This was not a normal weekend. Not by any stretch of the imagination. I had a million things to do. I had meetings and events to attend. I was swamped with things to get done. All of my things to do and meetings to attend absolutely paled in comparison to what as happening at the […] Read more…
And then I said “Why Not?”
It took becoming a mom for me to greet life with a “why not?”. My son just does stuff. He thinks it and he does it. He is just completely open to life. The kid has never met a stranger (we’re working on that). He walks into a room full of kids and his response […] Read more…
Putting the Pieces Together – Guilt Free
There is a lot I want out of this life. A lot. As I work to put the pieces together, I sometimes give myself a hard time about what I’m able to do. Sure, being a mom of two kids and a wife to my honey makes things all kinds of challenging. The kids require […] Read more…
Wanna Feel Good? Start Here…
When it comes to feeling good, we all want piece of that! While I am a firm believer in going after your dreams, I know that isn’t always easy. Sometimes we don’t go after what we want because we don’t feel like we’re worth it or we just don’t feel good. I think it’s important […] Read more…
