If you’re reading this right now and have been considering going back to someone who wasn’t the best for you, I urge you to reconsider.

I miss being able to go out without having to grab a mask and practicing social distancing. There was once a time when we could all go out and never had to worry about doing these things.

The choice is always yours.

I’m usually not one to dive into period pieces, as I typically find them slow-moving and boring, but when I watched the new Netflix series Bridgerton? I was hooked.

If you’re having one of those days, weeks, months, or seasons that feels long, stressful, and draining, then you’re not alone.

The show does an excellent job of establishing and delivering authentic examples and relatable experiences of what a thriving, modern Black family can be.

I know moving through the world as it is right now can feel draining, discouraging, and defeating sometimes, but have you ever paused to think about how blessed you still are?

You still deserve a happy ending and happy beginnings too.

You don’t have to do everything on your own.

Micromanaging on any level, in any industry, can kill morale, disrupt productivity, and delay the day-to-day workflow.

When I think about what it means to leave your mark on this world and all the work Chadwick has done, I understand the importance of legacy.

When you’re feeling down, sometimes one of the best things you can do is shift the focus off of yourself and get up, go out, and do something nice for someone else.
