Love at First Swipe
What can I say? It was love at first swipe…. To the right, that is. It may sound cliché but it’s so true when they say: the right person will come along when you least expect it. In my case, that person came along while I was fully embracing being single and enjoying the energy that summer brings to the city. I will say that the universe could have waited until the Fall started. I ended up missing out on the beach that entire summer but it was worth it. I met my now fiancé on a popular “dating” app that you might have heard of: Tinder. I know you…

Is it too Early for a Cocktail?
Over the past weekend, I discovered a new level of whispering. I have never spoken so softly than when asking if “a little before 8 A.M.” was too early for a cocktail. I was asking this question at a random airport bar as I awaited my flight to my Alma Mater. I was headed to the university to speak on a panel for accepted students who identified as African American. I was truly honored that I made so much of an impact at my Alma Mater that they saw fit to fly me back to campus and speak on a panel for an event where even our University president…

Coping with a Loss
Over the last two weeks, I’ve been grieving and trying to figure out how I’m going to move forward after experiencing a sudden loss. I feel like just last month I was laughing with this person and making plans to see them again. I didn’t realize that I would never see this person again. It’s been two weeks since I found out that my eye brow threading place closed down. I wasn’t prepared for this sudden loss. I was just making plans to have my esthetician do my eyebrows for a upcoming trip. I was even going to have her do my eyebrows for my wedding. It’s so true that…

You’re Engaged, Now What?
Holy cow, I can’t believe I’m engaged! That has been my thought pattern for the last couple of months. I feel like I’m finally adulting! It’s that kind of feeling that you have when you file your taxes for the first time. I admittedly shed a tear the first time I filed my taxes, mostly because I realized how little I was getting back. Just a few years ago, I was the self-proclaimed queen of single. I was always the first one to send messages using single girl memes. I loved dancing the night away in a packed club. And I most definitely earned my fair share of terrible dating stories. Now…

Living a Puppy-less Life
I can’t believe I’m two years away from my 30’s and I’m still living a puppy-less life. I thought at this stage in my life I’d have at least a roommate that had a dog or a partner that I could trust to take care of each and every dog responsibility without my help. At this point I can imagine my fiancé yelling from the other room about the American Bulldog that he wants (me to take care of). I now find myself being the person that stands at the dog park fence with a joker-like smile on my face watching the dogs. I’ve even begged friends to let me…
