  Ecclesiastes 7:8 "Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. " You know, I sat back and allowed God to show me a recap of my life this year and boy did I feel a bunch of goosebumps rise from my SHANDO! This was a very painful year for me, growth wise. No I didn't lose a loved one, THANK THE LORD, but the many times I lay awake at night crying myself into a coma, I'm pretty sure my neighbors would have thought I lost MY WHOLE FAMILY. Chile, I had to FIGHT EVERYDAY! No rest!  From the outside it would look like I had a pretty swell year with the publishing of my first novel TEARS OF KINGS and the mini praise breaks in between. But I kind of compared that to when Rocky ran up all those stairs during his training to be a boxer. With the epic theme song of that scene playing in the background, Rocky made it up those stairs.  Well, that's what all those things felt like. But...

One of my favorite Disney shows as a teenager was That’s So Raven . Ha! Don’t try to act like you didn’t like that show either! It was fun and funny, especially because Raven played by Raven Simone from the Cosby Show , would always find herself in crazy situations.

  Man, can you believe it's DECEMBER ALREADY? Where has the year gone? Smh So did you guys enjoy Thanksgiving? How much did you eat? Lol. I enjoyed mines. Even though I haven't really been in the holiday spirits, I forced myself to at least be thankful for my family and my life period. So yeah, this past weekend, I had the pleasure of hanging out with a friend to celebrate his birthday. I was actually super eager to have a reason to get out my castle on a Friday night. We went to a few spots, two of which were clubs. Let me tell you, I haven't been to a club in YEARS so I had to adjust my mindset for the environment.  The music was LIVE and the people were vibing. It was cool minus the ass to shoulders crampness, HA! I was digging the scene with a gangsta lean Woop woop lol. Anywho, I allowed myself to be separated from the people I came with to mingle with people I didn't know from Eve or Adam. Chile BOOM!  In one of the places, I kid you not, it was l...
