Hey my Sweet Lifers! On a rather brisk day in February back in 1976 I received a bike for my birthday. I remember wondering as I wobbled on the seat and with hands shaking held on tight to the handlebars, if I would ever not be afraid of getting up on that contraption! A...
Hey my Sweet Lifers! There’s a running joke between me and my oldest and best friend about when to buy things. Not the items that everybody needs eventually like furniture, appliances and houses, but the personal stuff that makes life a little sweeter. You know… the pocket books, and jewelry, clothes and as of...
Hey my sweet lifers! If you’ve been paying any attention to my feeds, blogs or channel episodes you might have noticed a shift in both my focus but also my purpose. What is one of the most beautiful aspects of being a human being is our ability to manifest change. It is in fact...
Hey there Sweet Lifers! How are you doing? I want to introduce you to the latest movement, yes another one. What is MHM you ask? Well it’s called “Mental Health Matters” and if you can subscribe to it the whole world will be a better, kinder and more inclusive space. As a person...
Hey there my Sweet Lifers! As we celebrate the month of May with flowers and showers of love towards our Mother’s I must say that right now, in this moment, not one thing is missing. This has not been the case for most of my life as May brought a day that I could...
There’s lots of reasons we send flowers, usually for a celebration of a holiday or season and in all cases when someone dies. Flowers signify a gesture of caring and thoughtfulness but did you know each flower has historical heritage tracing back specific meanings for both the sender and the receiver? During the reign...
Have you ever kept a diary? I remember getting those cute little one’s that had a lock and key back through my teen years. I would actually use mine to make lists and goals for myself and sometimes jot down stuff that I did not want to forget. In college I had to keep...
Ok my sweet readers…this month what we are going to discuss is not going to be anything new but it sure is necessary. Morgan Freeman is one of my mentors. He has created a life of multiprenuership as both an actor, advocate and fantastic person. He uses his influence to change the world, teaching...
You know I spend a lot of time with little people. My littles don’t read this column and some can’t even read yet at all. After being their photographer from birth throughout their childhoods it’s not really a shoot when they see me…it’s a visit where they get to spend quality time with their...

The day my Nana died was a good day as ever there could be… she lived to 102 and was as they say “done.” A few hours earlier I had been summoned by sister to get here quickly… but in reality she wasn’t going anywhere .. that is until I arrived. She was a...
Living The Sweet Life: Dear my Forever Best Friend…. We all have friends. Some of them are always there whilst others tend to shrink into the backgrounds of our lives when things are going a bit rough. We all know who “those” friends are. It’s not often that you run across people that...
The month on March will be a great one this year…even on the 28th day. For that day will mark the anniversary of my mother’s death. For the first time in my 41 years living without her it won’t seem sad. I found...
Let it be known throughout the land that I do not like change! Let me remind you that I have worn the same wig since 1994 when I found it in Dallas as a red jacket with Mary Kay. I fell in love with the ease of snapping that on my head and looking...
My dear friends…promise me that during this lovely new year you will spend time with some “old folks” and little children. For it is with their company that you will gain the most knowledge concerning living a sweet and fulfilled life! Perhaps I know this having been raised by “old folks” and perhaps I...
