Home, Work & Fun

I know that I have been missing in action but I really wanted these past few weeks to settle myself.  I wanted to feel the joy of finally living in my new place and keep it to myself  for a while.  I love coming home, throwing down my purse, kicking off my shoes, pouring a [...]

Moving To A New Town Baby!

I am finally moving out of my family’s home.  A great friend from L.A. and I have been searching for the perfect place for months. Last sunday we finally found it.  A sweet oversized 2bed. 2 bath condo in dowtown Stamford, C.T.  It’s walking distance to all the wonderful night life but situated on a [...]

Work…It Just Keeps Getting Worse.

I’m tired.  I feel defeated.  Today had to be one of the worst days at work.  Every day I walk in I feel like a failure.  Granted what I do now is a very small part of what I have done in my field for almost 10 years.  But somehow things at work are just [...]

Sometimes All You Have Is A Mattress

I have just spent the past 20 minutes looking at Los Angeles apartments on craigslist.  Even though I’m back in New York it’s just something I do as a reminder that I have to finish what I started here to get back there.  I look at the old neighborhoods I’ve lived in and frown as [...]

Career Fear

So I’m scared. There are a few moments in my life where I’ve acted out of fear. I dropped an honors English class because I was the only student of color and felt uncomfortable. Even though I scored an 11 out of 12 on my placement test and was personally asked by the head of [...]

Lazy Sunday Thoughts

* I should really continue to savor and not rush reading Eat, Pray, Love .  This book has resonated with me on so many levels.  From her struggles of leaving an unfullfilling marriage to traveling the world in search of a better self.  I’ve laughed and cried with this book and I’m only half way in.  [...]

This Is What Greed Does!!!!

I am so disgusted with the horrific news of black friday.  A Walmart employee lost his life because of greed!  I cannot seem to get over this.  My heart hurt when I woke up this morning to hear the news.  He died.  A pregnant woman miscarried from the stampede and there were shootings at a kids store [...]

Her Hand Says It All

 
My 83 year old grandmother still wears her wedding band. Though my grandfather passed away over 23 years ago, she still wears her thin gold band lovingly.  My grandparents bore 11 children together in Kingston, Jamaica.  I used to joke with my grandmother about how they must not have had television because they kept breeding [...]

Boss Gave Me The Forehead Kiss

Um…hmmm…ahh…ooookay. 
So, while taking my 15 minute morning break today to eat breakfast, one of my managers walks into the back office where I was.  Now mind you the man is dashingly handsome!  I’ve had a major crush on him since my interview.  We joke around alot and we are both playfully sarcastic with each other.  I [...]

Being an entrepreneur is a problem?

I finally got the low down on why my phone has not been ringing with job offers. I used to be an entrepreneur (well I still am sort of) and that was discouraging employers from wanting me. Let me explain. Yesterday I had an interview with a staffing agency. I had [...]
