Now that we are settling into 2017, how is your new year looking so far? Typically, by now I would have already completed updating my vision board, have my list of 2017 goals and commitments set, and focused on the steps and what I need to do to achieve along with my continued journey of […]
This year has been an amazing one for both my indoor & outdoor triathlon seasons. Getting faster, acquiring sponsorships, moving up to Olympic distance & in placement towards the top my age group of triathletes (and hope to see overall as well), has been great accomplishments for me this year. After today’s 2016 finale, I […]
Going into the Chicago Triathlon weekend in preparation for my Olympic triathlon, there are some nerves, some excitement, and having just witness the 2016 Rio Olympics, I must say that I have once again been inspired. Having a variety of tools and rituals that keep one focused, motivated, and passionate about being a triathlete, improving, growing, […]
With all the outcry for the violence that we are seeing in the world, our communities (particularly low income communities & those predominantly people of color), we all can choose to play a role in transforming our current state. I’ve written various posts to uplift and encourage us all to take action no matter our […]
So here it is, six months into 2016 and ask yourself, where are you with the things that you have been seeking to accomplish this year?

This year, one of my goals has been to take my triathlons to another level competitively and do Olympic/International distance events. To be honest, I had been hesitating on committing to it because of intimidation and some level of fear. Though this is my 10th year of doing triathlons, the swim has been my biggest […]
A few weeks ago I was leading a ministry meeting of active adults, former and current athletes. I asked them to share a Olympic, sport or athletic moment that they felt inspired them the most. As I hope to touch and inspire others, I often reflect on past moments that I witnessed that truly touched […]
I’m just so grateful to see another day when I wake up each morning so to be blessed with seeing 40 years, I can only thank God for all the lessons, experiences, accomplishments, and the beautiful souls and people embraced throughout my life. Over 3 years ago I first heard “When It’s All Over” by […]
This past Sunday was an amazing and powerful day for me. Not to say every day isn’t already amazing, as I feel any day I wake up in the morning I’m just grateful to see another day, however, this Sunday had a silent powerful movement that I just wanted to share. Even though this day […]
