My Yorkie Achilles is 6 years old.  In dog years, he’s reached is &%$! it 40’s so I decided to give him a mid-life crisis do. At first glance it may appear that Achilles’ hair is dyed blue.  Dyeing your pet’s hair is a bad idea.  Hair dyes are made for humans and the toxins […]

Ha!  I can’t believe they captured my, “lights, camera, action” whip around.  I don’t play when it’s time to get to work! :) When I covered the red carpet at the NAACP / We TV benefit concert at Howard University’s Blackburn Center, I had no idea my interview with Erica Campbell was being filmed by […]

Since Empire’s highly anticipated season finale airs tonight at 8pm on Fox, I thought I’d post this #CelebritySelfie with comedian and actress Mo’Nique.  The public feud between Mo’Nique and director, Lee Daniels saddens me.  They are both incredible talents and obviously make magic together.  I wish they would just kiss and make up, already!  There […]

I am not one to over utilize acronyms but every now and then I create or come across a good one.  So many of us operate in fear.  We fear death.  We fear loss.  We even fear success.  Wouldn’t it be great to be able to eliminate fear from our spectrum of emotions?  We can! […]
