Today has been an incredibly exciting and memorable birthday! I'd never thought there'd be a solar eclipse on my day. Talk about special! Thank you Lord! It's been my best trip around the sun thus far! I dug up my old shades just in time to see the eclipse. 😎

Happy Birthday to Me! 💋

Last pic is from exactly 10 years ago today. I still have that dress hanging in my closet. Just wishful thinking that I'll wear it again at this point. And I finally decided to donate the pumps I had on a couple months ago 😆

Black South Carolina authors need to be recognized on National Author's Day. National Author's Day is November 1st. South Carolina is filled with amazingly talented people including writers and authors. We have quite a few locally in Charleston including some at my church. I wanted to take the time to highlight some nationally known Black South Carolina authors that I know....

I am highlighting Black South Carolina authors who are nationally known. They are from the Lowcountry, Upstate and the Midlands.

Did you know there are certain books that kids can’t read in school? Well it’s officially banned books week. Books: Beloved and The Bluest Eye by Pulitzer Prize, Nobel Prize, and Medal of Freedom recipient, author Toni Morrison are on the list. I’ve had The Bluest Eye on my books to read list. Dang, it’s almost exactly 1 year and I haven’t read it. Like they say, life be lifing. Are you reading anything?

Fun Fact, The Toni Morrison Society has a bench on Sullivan’s Island, SC to honor the enslaved that did and didn’t make it through The Middle Passage of The Transatlantic Slave Trade. I’d heard about it and finally came across it this summer.

Just a reminder that June is Men’s Health Month!🙎🏾‍♂️

Men, remember visit your Primary Care Physician. The P*P can do a simple blood pressure check to see if there are any issues. High blood pressure (hypertension) is a called a silent killer because often times you may not have any symptoms. Untreated hypertension can lead to kidney failure, which can lead to dialysis. If you’re in your 40s, it may be time for prostate exam or colonoscopy as well.

It’s National Donut Day!! 🍩

When I’m in the mood for a great tasty donut in Charleston I like to go to Glaze. It’s located on King Street Downtown.

Where do you like to get your donuts from?
