Rediscovering Self and Joy Beyond Work and Family
Rediscovering Self and Joy Beyond Work and Family

Happy Galentine's Day glow getters! February has extra emphasis on black excellence, love, romance, and more. But before we dive into showering others with affection, let's take a moment to focus on ourselves. As a theme for the month is endearment, consider using this time to show extra love and care to yourself, rediscover your passions, and indulge in activities that bring you joy outside of work and family commitments. While those we love and the work we love can bring an immense amount of joy to our lives, it’s important to continually cultivate love and joy within first, so that everything else is extra. Joy within also helps us better serve those and the things we’re called to.

2024 Reading List
2024 Reading List

Happy Friday, glow getters! As I continue to ease into the new year and gear up for the big 4-0 in August, I've got an incredible lineup of books planned. Some of you might recall my pride and excitement in reading 12 books back in 2022. While achieving that goal meant the world to me, I've since learned that it's more valuable to take my time and fully digest a book rather than sticking to a timeline. With that in mind, I may or may not get to or through all the books on my list. However, book 1 holds my unwavering commitment, as I know it will leave the most profound impact. So, let's dive into my list, and I'd love for you to join me in exploring these books.
