Walking in my Purpose

Greetings to you, My beautiful people! Here we are again, and I am happy about it. October is a month of many milestones, tributes, and celebrations. As we say goodbye to Summer and hello to Fall, we do so with tremendous gratitude. October has been noted as the month where days are full of pumpkin and spices, fallen leaves, a cup of apple cider, and the sound of wood crackling in the fireplace.

Honestly, this has been a challenging year, mourning the loss of so many and not just from Covid-19 or Cancer but from the senseless murders of our young brothers and sisters. From Congressman John Lewis to Chadwick Boseman, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and so many more too many to name them all, we commit ourselves to some good trouble and lift our voices to be heard. “Justice”! It has become apparent that the fight continues. I encourage every one of you to get
