This morning was tough. I stayed in all weekend in attempts to tackle a rigorous to-do list and make the most out of the 48 hours allotted to me. I was feeling a ton of guilt because my to-do list is growing considerably faster than I can cross items off of it. I had a…
When I first got to college at the University of Houston, I had my mind set on majoring in Marketing, which is in the business school. After needing a remedial math class my first semester, I knew that wasn’t going to work. It was so bad I even had a guy I was dating at…
I had met with a few of my close girl friends for brunch, like we always do. One is the owner of a very successful online boutique, one an award winning nurse and myself, a PR professional. This particular time our conversation was centered toward business which isn’t surprising because honestly, we’re all a bit…
I stayed in on Friday night and decided to find a link to watch Hidden Figures on my Firestick. I probably haven’t been to the movies in three years, it’s just not my thing. By the time I was done watching the movie, I had purchased a ticket to watch it at my nearest theater…
Considering the fact that we will enter the last month of 2016 this week, I think it’s safe to say that time has flown at a scary rate this year. While I’m preparing for everything I plan to conquer in 2017, it’s only right that I look back and dissect what I’ve done the past…
I’ve spent the first three quarters of this year transitioning into a position where I could comfortably call myself a blogger, on top of making sure I excel in my career and continue to grow as an individual. I just recently got the hang of that. I won’t go as far to say that I’ve mastered it…
Growing up I had it good. My parents were divorced before I was one, but were both incredibly active in me and my sisters life so it didn’t phase us much. Realistically, the lifestyles between the two of my parents were quite different. On one side of town where we lived with my mother felt…
I’ve done what I said I wanted to do; create a platform where I can discuss ambitions with other young women who are looking to leave their mark. Has it even began to touch the magnitude of where I believe it will go? No, but it’s given me the opportunity to talk to dozens about…
“When you feel the pain go all the way through…” This video, this lesson is one of great value. It’s the perfect analogy of the trials you’ll fight throughout your lifetime. Had we all learned this as children, we would’ve been better off. But instead, even as adults, we are hesitant to keep pressing when…
My mother’s mother was a first generation Mexican American, while her father was Caucasian; blonde hair and blue eyes. Her father passed away in a car wreck when she was 12 and she was then raised by his parents, my great grandmother and paw paw. Throughout her adolescence she experienced quite a bit of adversity,…
I’m not sure if entrepreneurship is inherited, or if it’s something you can create should you want it bad enough, but I do know that it’s possible for everyone. My meemaw owned several of her own businesses, from hair salons to home healthcare businesses, and this was before Google existed. In 2016 we have easy…
I don’t know about you, but my week last week was far from ideal. From finalizing every detail of a four-day event I’ll be at this week, to constantly refreshing social media to see what people were talking about; I was all over the place. It was taking me twice as long to do things…
I’ve always been one who was confident in anything I wanted to do. I tell myself just like I tell all of you that everything you imagine will come to fruition if you want it bad enough. But it wasn’t until recently when I realized that even the things that I imagine for myself have…
While cleaning out some drawers over the weekend I came across a book that I’ve had for a while called 5: Where will you be five years from today? I originally purchased this book for my best friend when she turned 25 last year. I felt like 25 is a pivotal age that should be…
I obviously know it’s not Monday, but seeing as I’ve been out of the country on vacation, today is technically the Monday of my work week. I apologize for not having content set up for you all while I was gone but I’ve been on overload with work + real life. My trip to Canada…
