I am So Her! — Empowerment

It is unimaginable that my right to choose has been struck down by the United States Supreme Court! This decision will haunt the United States for generations to come and will set women back for decades from the progress we have made for equality.  My daughter and many young women have been told by the courts that equality comes with a price. What are we teaching our daugthers? That our live and choices don't matter? Unfortunately, this ruling will effect women of color and lower income households because they have less access to health care and limited financial resources. Although,...

Some people write poetry, some people ride bikes, others may enjoy bird watching to relax. I on the other hand, enjoy gardening. I received a AeroGarden as a Christmas gift and it is absolutely amazing. This device allows you to plant pod kits of herbs and vegetables all year around!    There is nothing more wholesome than planting and watching it grow!

After being indecisive and analyzing my options, I have finally made up my mind about "The Big Chop"! Being a mother of four, things can really get out of control...and my hair was one of them.  Nevertheless, I am not my hair but this shit feels absolutely amazing. I am so happy I moved forward with my decision.

Do whatever fits you. Whether it is an...
