A couple of weeks ago, I hired a business growth consultant. Iโm coming up on four years of running Grief 2 Growth. Iโve been splitting my time between two businesses. Itโs time to go all in on my passion. It’s scary. But I know it’s the right time. In these four years, Iโve acquired a […]

Day 2371- Winter Solstice Reflections
Today is December 20, 2021. It’s been a heckuva year. It’s been a brutal two years. We are going into year three of living with COVID-19, named after the year 2019 when it was discovered. Omicron is on the rise having gone from a whisper a couple of weeks ago to 70% of the cases […]
Day 2317- In The Dark
It’s October 28th, three days from Halloween. The leaves are turning. The days are growing short. There is a chill in the air. I’ve put away the shorts and t-shirts. It’s long sleeves and jeans for a few months. This is the time of year when I struggled in the past. I hate the cold. […]
Day 2241- Mama Said There’d Be Days Like This
Itโs Friday! Friday is supposed to be a good day, the end of the week, the beginning of the weekend. But, today is hitting me as a glass half full day. Today is also Friday the 13th (of August). I take my walk for an hour and forty minutes. A walk is always a great […]
I Ain’t No Ways Tired
A couple of days ago my cousin made a Facebook post titled โI Ainโt No Ways Tiredโ the title of an old Negro spiritual. I replied, โYes, I am tired.โ This was the day after the verdict in the murder of George Floyd and the day after an officer shot and killed a 16-year-old Black […]

Day 1390- Pumped
I’m going to pat myself on the back here. Not even two months ago a friend suggested I take a life coaching course. I had never spoken to her about life coaching. I hadn’t mentioned it to anyone. I took this as a sign of something I should do. Within a couple of weeks, three […]
Day 1383- Spring Has Sprung
It’s April 7th and spring has finally arrived in Ohio. Tywana’s out of the country on a cruise. So, I have a lot of solitude this weekend. This morning I’m up early out for my walk because I have a full agenda. The temperatures in the morning are above 50ยบ, warm enough for me to […]
Day 1337- Do Not Despise These Small Beginnings
I have a tendency to minimize the good things and emphasize the bad. Losses I remember. Victories, I take in stride. I am turning that around. It’s mid-February, we are already a month and a half in. I am acknowledging several beginnings this year. Tywana’s got a new job. Kayla will be graduating in a […]
