My first job was at TJ Maxx. I was 15 years old and worked two nights a week and weekends.  I was a cashier, but enjoyed working in the dressing room.  People would ask me how they looked in an outfit and my honesty took over.  I was moved from the dressing room to the … More Stress In The Workplace Part 1

  The time has come for me to untangle the knots.  My little elves helped me with these lights and this is what they left me with.  As I started to untangle the knots, I lost my patience and had a hot flash.  I was holding five strings of lights that were all tangled together.  … More Untangle The Knots

I love Winne Harlow.  Her spirit and smile is contagious.  I’m the kind of woman who can give another woman a compliment.  In my eyes she is beautiful inside and out. Winnie Harlow has not let her skin condition, vitiligo stop her.  She is a model, activist and a role model to many.  Winne didn’t … More Embrace Your Flaws

Now before everyone starts bashing Valentine’s Day.  Let’s remember that Valentine’s Day is also my birthday.  This year I will be 45 years young. Do you remember the excitement … More The Day of Love

  I remember growing up on East Outer Drive in Detroit. As a child I was afraid of dogs. Big dogs, little dogs it didn’t matter. I was terrified.   Dogs on a leash, I liked.  One day my dad came home with a dog, his name was Victor.  You may recall he was my … More Pets Are Family Too
