My bladder vs. the MTA

February 24, 2016 · 8 Comments

I think every New Yorker can relate to a time when the MTA trains "fell their hand" - a time when you needed the train to get you somewhere ASAP, only to end up getting to your desired location WAAAYYY LATER because of train delay by dispatcher, a sick passenger, construction etc. Last Thursday, I had one of these experiences.... I met up with one of my friends for drinks after work. Between the wine and AWESOME conversation, time seem to fly by. Before I knew it, it was late (I already missed Scandal) so it was time to go home. I had to pee... like really … [Read more...]

Helpful Enemies

Hey People, I hope all is well. My mother sent me this story. I loved it so much so I decided to share.... Enjoy... An American man walked into a restaurant in London. As soon as he entered, he noticed an African man sitting in the corner. So he walked over to the counter, removed his wallet and shouted, "Waiter! I am buying food for everyone in this restaurant, except that black African guy over there!" So the waiter collected the money from the man and began serving free food to everyone in the restaurant, except the African. However, instead of becoming … [Read more...]

Midweek Encouragement – Rise Above It

November 4, 2015 · 12 Comments

Happy Hump Day Everyone! I hope you are having the most fabulous week EVER! Okay so, one of my mentors sent me a story last week. Disclaimer: I did NOT write it and I honestly don't know who did so I can't give credit. But the story made my life that day so I decided to share, with the hope that it would do the same for you. Enjoy! When Mahatma Gandhi was studying law at the University College of London, a white professor, whose last name was Peters, disliked him intensely and always displayed prejudice and animosity towards him.. Also, because Gandhi never … [Read more...]

FINISH IT

October 26, 2015 · 8 Comments

Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend. Okay so last Wednesday, I went to the gym for the first time in two weeks. So as you can imagine, Kickboxing class that night was brutal. My regular trainer is completing his forth level black belt something something (I wasn't listening to him when he explained the training because I was wondering why he didn't consider me when he was making these plans) and this new class instructor is a different kind of ogbanje (evil spirit). So yea, class was a struggle. I was sooo uncoordinated! ?? I've been training … [Read more...]
