Don’t Blame Twitter, Blame The Mama

Everyone has their own opinion about what social media is doing to society in terms of our ability to spell and punctuate correctly, make friends outside of the internet, maintain self-control and so on.

Recently, a mother posted a photo (that quickly went viral) of her daughter crying and obviously being punished for her misuse of social media. Some felt like she went too far and others felt that she did what was right.

I Had a Weird Dream Last Night…What Does It Mean?

11 May

Do you believe that our dreams hold meaning? I have heard all kinds of stories about how people have prepared for certain life events or situations based on the dreams that had prior to that event.

Last night I had a crazy dream. I’m not afraid of heights, but in the dream I was terrified to walk down this seemingly endless flight of stairs to get to the ground and eventually to my car to leave from whereever I was. The stairs weren’t regular stairs, they were like stone or cement stairs - the kind you would see in movies like 300 or Clash of the Titans.

What made it even crazier was that there was an alternate way to get down to the ground - a huge slide like the one that is at the Mississippi State Fair every year.

In my mind, I’m thinking that the dream probably meant that I’m afriad of failing at something. I decided to use a dream dictionary to see if I’m correct.

#AmbitiousWomen: Tempestt, Toya & Fatima [photos]

11 May

All four of us at my surprise birthday party in November 2011

Remember when I said ambition wasn’t enough? You have to put forth action to see results. Well, I’d like to congratulate my two closest friends in Hattiesburg, Tempestt Miller and LaToya Thompson and a great friend from high school, Fatima Ali, on reaping the benefits of all of their hard work and dedication.

Tempestt, Toya and Fatima will be walking across that stage today as they graduate from the University of Southern Mississippi. Tempestt and Fatima are both their Master’s degree while Toya will be receiving her Bachelor’s degree. Love you ladies!
