Dreams become visions, visions become goals and goals become reality…. For as long as I can remember, I have journaled and always included a Top 25 goal list, which ultimately turned in part into a To Do List. For those who have known for a long time, will agree that I like to be structured […]

I just passed the 100 day anniversary of my self surrender to the Camp in Cumberland, Md. It has been a eye opening experience to say the least.

Today was just ‘busy’. Being short handed (at work) & was a lot of heavy negative energy, so I done a lot of praying & self talk to change what I could in order to brighten my spirits as well as those around me. I’ve learned during my incarceration that if you listen to what […]
