This Labor Day Take Advantage of No DWI Free Labor Day Rides

I could give statistics on how many DWI's were given last year, or worst yet how many people lost their lives to drunk drivers last year, or I could just focus on a solution. This year it comes in the form of Sutliff & Stout. For the past two years, Sutliff & Stout have paid for hundreds of taxi and ride-sharing rides in Texas. There motto is "If we prevent even one accident, it’s money well spent". This year is the same: Labor Day only. Monday, September 3rd from 5pm – Tuesday, Read more [...]

Ride With Me & The 2017 Prius Prime On A #GenerationsDeep Adventure!

It’s no secret that 2017 has been a rollercoaster of a ride for me. From January till Hurricane Harvey decided to close out the fiscal year with mass flooding, it seemed as if I was starring in a Lemony Snicket's series of unfortunate events. Dealing with one life altering circumstance can weigh one down. Adding multiple issues can allow despair to creep in, depression can overtake strength, and giving up all together seems like the best option. But I, including my family, am just not built that Read more [...]

Fear, Survivors Remorse, and Determination 72 hours After Fort Lauderdale

No training, nor any experience with guns or gun violence could prepare me for the fear I encountered January 6th at Fort Lauderdale Airport. In a country where we are spoon fed a fear of terrorism on what seems like a daily, your mind is subconsciously already on high alert. Sitting in Terminal 1 watching events unfold in the next terminal I felt a sense of safety. Sadden by the report of 1 known death at the time, I patiently waited for my flight to board. Before I knew it, shots were fired and Read more [...]

The Ultimate Blueprint Tour with Vivica Fox, Wendy Raquel, Towanda Braxton & more!

Out with the old in with new! The new year is loved not because of the fireworks, the overload of alcohol, or the free kisses at midnight. No, the new year is loved because of the fresh start it gives everyone. Although many strive to be a better person each day, its something about January first that says clean slate. On social media I saw a flood of status updates, tweets, and memes, that said the same thing: "Today is the first page of your 365 page book." People began their career journeys, Read more [...]

10 Life Changing Lessons Learned at Oprah’s Life You Want Tour: Houston

I have to say I wasn’t feeling my best when I got the invite to attend probably this biggest classroom held in the Toyota Center and by “THE” Oprah Winfrey herself. “Who turns down Oprah”, I thought. I had been seeing commercials for a while about the multi-city arena tour that was to engage, encourage, and empower the audience. So despite feeling ill, I decided to go to the sold out “The Life You Want Tour” that was being held Oct. 17-18th. What a great decision I made. Oprah and her Read more [...]
