Setting Goals For Yourself

As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, I didn’t read many books in 2022 because I was busy opening a bookstore.  However, one book I am proud to have read was the whole Bible in one year.  I’m not a super religious person, but reading it has been one of my personal life goals.

I’m not a new year’s resolutions type of person, but I set a new goal to try new things in 2023, or maybe we can call it my “year of yes.”   I will be trying things like traveling to new places, eating new foods, improving my Spanish, and exploring things and experiences I am not used to doing. For example, I want to try reading more fiction and listening to audiobooks this year.  I might even try to have plants in my house that don’t die from neglect!

Stay tuned!

Can We Talk About Meghan Markle?

I don’t like to make sweeping generalizations about people I have never met. Also, Black people are not a monolith; we have many lived experiences. But, I watched the “Harry and Meghan” documentary on Netflix a couple of weeks ago, and I came away from it with more questions after watching it. Instead of writing a post, I found this video that makes all my points about Meghan Markle.
