Wow, wow....WOW! I had the unique opportunity to spend a whole day at NASA Langley Research Center learning about the next steps in space exploration for NASA . There were about 15 of us there in the capacity of social media influencers covering the event. They were an amazingly diverse group of women & men, including a pilot, a teacher with a flair for interviewing, a homeschooling mom of 3 gifted kiddos, 2 women who run planetariums, an engineer, and many more. I was honored to be among such creative and warm folks...we were a bit of a family by the end of the ... Continue Reading...

Getting Ready for 50: Going For the Gray
There are some things that take me a while to ponder: major life decisions, travel plans, redecorating my office, etc. However, it took me only a few minutes today to decide to pursue a new journey with my hair...I'm going to embrace (all) my grey. Why did I decide to go this route? (The biggie) I have noticed is that color changes the texture of my hair. I don't have super defined curls at all, but I have come to love and embrace my texture. My stylist told me that sometimes permanent color acts like a texturizer on the hair. So if I need to refrain from ... Continue Reading...

My Ancestry.com Journey Begins! Part 1
The kit has arrived...and I am a tad bit excited! I purchased my Ancestry.com kit on Christmas Eve, just in time to take advantage of the discount that had been offered.

The first thing I had to do was to activate my kit by logging on to my Ancestry account and entering the special number assigned to the kit. Next step: filing the tube with saliva. My main concern was would I be able to generate enough spit to fill that tube....and without gagging?? ... Continue Reading...

{I received this book for the purpose of review. All opinions expressed are my own...enjoy! :)} I have heard Pastor John Gray preach for a few years now, thanks to watching him on TBN with my husband weekly. I know that he is a powerful minister with a quick wit and a "put-you-at-ease" personality as well. Matter of fact, he also has some versatile vocal pipes! So, when I picked up this book to read, I was pretty much caught off guard by how it started off. Win From Within starts off deep, y'all, as Pastor Gray shares from a personal place of struggle. In fact, I ... Continue Reading...
