And it’s Sept 11th.. very bittersweet :(. Every year I take a moment to remember.  To remember where I was.. what I was doing.. what others were doing.. how many families who were affected by this tragedy. How many people were spared… 14 years ago today.  It totally seems like yesterday.  Where oh where does the time go sistahs?

Ok enough complaining.. let’s embrace today.. be mindful of all that surrounds us and GRATEFUL of what we have 🙂

I love fridays!  do you?

so many things to do before school starts on Tuesday.  OMG SCHOOL STARTS!!!!  Know what that means??? It MEANS… that you will be hearing a LOT more from me!  hehehehe.   I have lots of ideas up my sleeve.. just have to make them come to life!

I’ll keep you posted.  Promise.

Speaking of SCHOOL… I am not sure if you follow me on Facebook, but if you don’t,  I wanted to share an article I wrote for my friend’s amazing website called WISE Women Canada.  Since I shared this story on my personal Facebook page, she has been harassing me to write it so I did :).. A little embarassing admitting this on paper, but I hope I helped some people along the way LOL.  If you would like to read my article, you can find it HERE but don’t judge n’k?    I would TOTALLY recommend subscribing to their site and “like” their FACEBOOK page.. they are AWESOME SAUCE.  For REALS (I always wanted to say AWESOME SAUCE)

Ok and now for our REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAM…
