Do You Wear An “S” On Your Chest?

Skipping social events is a must-do. Your calendar and laptop become your best friends. And you wouldn't have it any other way. This is the definition of a grind. Cue "Superwoman" by Alicia Keys. I recently took  a … [Continue reading...]

{She Inspires} Lisette Orellana, Advocate For Young Mothers

{She Inspires} Josie, Fitness Blogger, Lover of Food

I've struggled with my weight for years. Well, I shouldn't say that. I've struggled with my weight after having my son in 2008.

When I was on her blog and saw that she referred to herself as a "wannabe writer," I wanted to give her a big ol' dose of reality. She was an amazing writer, no "wannabe" about it!  She inspires me because she holds it down on all … [Continue reading...]
