It’s December and we’re in the midst of the holiday season! What better time to talk about gratefulness than now!? Although we hope you’re grateful throughout the year, sometimes that’s hard. So this month Tonie B. Cole and I tackle the streets to find how people are exercising gratefulness and what tips they may have! …
If you’re looking at your mountain and it feels impossible, I challenge you to take a walk down memory lane. How’d you get to this point? This morning I found myself in the book of Numbers with the Children of Israel (I often read an aspect of The Children of Israel story and think they’re …
Last year around this time I was preparing to shoot and introduce for THE very first time “Relinquish Wear.” I just got goosebumps thinking about it. I don’t think the planning was too much. I think it was that pit in my stomach that was my biggest hurdle to overcome. Sharing Relinquish publicly felt like …

Much of my weekday is a constant go-go-go. Be here at this time; connect with this person; sell this account; handle this service issue; fill out paper work; call this person; etc. And because of the demand, I seldom take a break. However today is different. Over the last couple months, I’ve been really been …
I’d say I’m past the days of shooting for perfection, yet I still find myself clinging and holding tightly to the idea of it. That “if I just do ____________ , it’ll be just right” type attitude. But that type of perspective throws off aim and focus. Forgetting what I’m doing “it” for in the …
I’ve never had to work so hard in my life. I don’t mean that in a dramatic way, I just don’t think I’ve ever had to work so much. Up to this point, it feels like a lot of things either came naturally or just weren’t that hard. Sure, there have been some difficult moments, …
It seems Relinquish is still the word to live out this year (and I can’t say that surprises me). It’s now been 2 years since I started blogging and it’s been a journey for sure. I’ve shared, encouraged and let others in on a different level than I ever have, and it’s stretched me and opened me …
I was depressed. So part of relinquishing is sharing – sharing the good, bad and sad. And today, I cried and I needed it. I needed to remember where I came from and reflect on where I am today. *I wrote this post 2 months ago and am just now finding the courage to share* …
Talking is really therapeutic. (Trying not to laugh or scoff at myself for stating the seemingly obvious, because obviously that wasn’t too obvious for me! And honestly, it may not truly be to you either.) I like to stay true to what I preach, but I realize more often than not, I’m quick to listen …
I’ve lived in Atlanta for several months now, however I’ve done very little exploring. This summer has truly been a busy one with travel and major events to attend. But now, I’m ready to explore my new home a little more. I woke up Saturday feeling slightly adventuresome so I text my favorite partner-in-crime and …
