Only (Real) Fans Here!

True indeed that Im grateful for my team. In my previous post, “Why I stopped cheating myself” I referenced my teammates. I’m part of several teams, some including my immediate family, work, basketball and in this case my close dear friends. [Someone cue the theme song ๐ŸŽต to the TV show “Girlfriends.”] My core group…

Why I stopped cheating myself!?!

One of my biggest pet peeves is cheating. I’m not fond of cheaters on or off the basketball court. I teach my children about sportsmanship, integrity and respect for the competition.

Week of Gratitude -Day 2

I use to sigh and say, “I have to…” Now I’m working on smiling then saying, “I get to…” I can feel the difference in my mood, energy and productivity. Our internal words and mindset matter! It vibrates throughout the body. It oozes from our pores. Those around us can feel, hear and sense it.…
