Today marked the funeral of Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul, who passed on August 16th after her battle with pancreatic cancer. One thing this service has reconfirmed for me is that the light of God should shine so brightly through your life that no matter what accolades you may receive... in the end, all...

Literary Escapades
When is the last time you've read a book? In my younger years I was an avid reader. Reading allowed me to escape my life and send my imagination whoever I chose for it to go.

Rhythmic beats
We all individually walk to the beat of our own drums. Whether it's with career goals, family goals, finance goals. etc., we all have goals that we reach via our own paths that we choose.
