My inner circle can tell you that I have spent ages going back and forth about buying a spirit jersey because I am the worst about spending money on myself even when I really want something and I can afford it. Morgan said enough with that mess and reminded me that I am worthy of having things that make me happy. This is incredibly comfortable so I plan to get quite a few more on my next visits to Orlando. In conclusion, buy the spirit jersey. You are worth it.

Emotions have been all over the place for the last Emotions have been all over the place for the last few days. It's overwhelming to think about all that we have been through this past year, these past four years, and before that. It's a relief to know that a fascist isn't in the white house anymore. However, it's tiring to think about the long road that lies ahead. There is still so much to be done to make this country a fair and equal place to call home. It's important to take moments to celebrate and moments to relax and reflect while we are on this long journey together. How did you relax this weekend?
Just a reminder that Black is Beautiful yesterday, Just a reminder that Black is Beautiful yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Black is Beautiful in every shade and in every country.

Please remember to stay safe this week! There are Please remember to stay safe this week! There are a lot of things happening in DC and all over the USA. Stay vigilant, stay away from people whenever possible, and stay home if and when you can! Also, remember that is it perfectly acceptable to celebrate tomorrow. These past four years have felt like a lifetime. We still have so many steps to take to make this nation a truly accepting, fair, and free place but let's hold on to the little happy moments along the way until we get there.
As a born and raised Orlandoean (is that what we s As a born and raised Orlandoean (is that what we should call ourselves?!) I haven't ever really experienced a winter season. I've enjoyed winter many times while in many different cities including, Edinburgh, London, NYC, and Boston. But I've never lived in winter day in and day out. After a week it was always time to fly home to my palm trees and theme parks. This winter is the first time that I am experiencing cold temperatures daily and often experiencing grey skies. It's only been about two weeks and I have to admit that it is a huge adjustment. But I am doing my best to embrace the season and stay as cozy as possible. I am used to being outside as often as possible in winter while hibernating with the A/C running all summer. So I guess now I will be reversing those habits and bundling up until spring gets here.
