“MOTIV8 Yourself Into A Healthy Mental Space” I’m still geeking over the fact that I managed to purchase J. Cole tickets and will be seeing him live in September, hence the title beginning with “Motiv8….” However, this is NOT a post about Jermaine (although, it could easily turn in this direction), this post is about self-preservation in […]
Photography by: Lesly Juarez on Unsplash It’s the first of May and I’m at my desk laughing because as I’m filling out my planner for the month I’m reminded that back in January when I first purchased this life-saver I failed to place anything in May’s corner because….well… I didn’t think I’d be at my current job this long… […]
