Shining Moments: June 9th – 15th
Hello there! Welcome back to another edition of Shining Moments. Can you believe we’re already halfway through June? I got sick with a sinus infection towards the end of the week (which explains why I’ve been feeling so off this week). This week’s list isn’t as big as it usually is as I’ve been focusing on resting most of the week. I decided to do a show and tell with pictures this week… Medium sized toad while doing an UberEats run Homemade Ice cream sundaes – Blue Bunny Caramel Butter Praline Pecan + Herseys Speical Dark Syrup + Herseys Caramel Syrup + Whipped cream with more syrup on top…

June’s Reaching For the Stars
Happy June everyone! Can you believe we are already 5 months finished and almost halfway through the year?!?! It seems like we are just blowing by 2019. Since time is going so fast, it’s a good time to revisit goals made. There are some that I’m sure will not get accomplished this year, but that’s ok! May is usually a good month for me personally with reflection and new experiences or chapters in my life (college graduation, a few years ago I went on a special celebratory mountain cabin trip with close friends, music concerts and more). I had the full intention of taking May to reflect and create either…

1 year later, Still #Charlestonstrong
#Charlestonstrong Or should I say, still #Charlestonstrong. 1 year ago today: June 17th, 2015 ——- 1 man took the lives of 9 people (and injured others) at the Mother Emanuel AME church. No one would have ever imagined the chaos that reigned that night. I know I sure didn’t. I was working late, overseeing a banquet function at the hotel I was currently working at in Mount Pleasant, with no idea the chaos that was happening on Calhoun St, Downtown Charleston. It wasn’t til I got home that I found out about the tragedy that had befallen on my city. I don’t have cable, it’s expensive but mostly because it’s just too depressing (case…

Happy Flag Day
Happy Flag Day!!! Hope that you’re having a great Tuesday! Today is Flag Day and while we may not really know about it, it’s still an important holiday to the United States. You may remember covering Flag Day back in elementary school. I know I do. Before the days of computers being used to write out reports, and a particular teacher wanting it typed out, I remember working on this 5 page report with my mom on her typewriter, putting colorful holographic flags on the cover page. I’m pretty sure my mom has it tucked away somewhere. Here it now being some 20 years later, doing that report for…
