Comeback: from Being a Reject

Rejection is HARD so why do we seem to be so addicted to it?  You don’t know what I mean?  Of course you do!  We have all been in situations where we are trying to prove our worth to win the perceived prize.  For some of us this is our M.O. for relationships, trying to make ourselves be what we …

Comeback: to Rising

Maya Angelou summed up EVERYTHING I wished I could say, have dreamt of being free enough to say, and aspired to proclaim in “Still I Rise.” I’ve just been too stunted to go there.  It was never the right time, my intentions weren’t pure, or I couldn’t find the appropriate words.  YOU may have ‘liked’ my performance because I was …

Comeback: from Underdog

People who use their past circumstances to justify their future inability to succeed annoy me to no end.  How presumptuous of you to believe that you know someone’s story based on aesthetics alone.  I’ve learned from countless experiences that this mentality is truly an excuse to remain still.  The most successful people I know: leaders of industry, academics, athletes and …

Comeback: to Letting Go

“It’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday…” -Freddie Perren and Christine Yarian When Boyz II Men sang these lyrics, few of us knew the many meanings these words would take on in our lives, I surely did not!  As a result, I found myself holding on to things that had become extremely vital in my life but ultimately were …

Comeback: to Ambient Sound

How loud is it in your life?  Not too long ago my life was extremely LOUD.  I was death gripping relationships that had run their course.  Taking employment opportunities that weren’t meant for growth and often diminished my spirit.  And living in a fun house of smoke and mirrors.  You would think that would be a perfect set-up for solitude and …

Comeback: to Purpose In Your Presence

‘Oh, I’ll show them!’  STOP, no ya won’t, so let me save you some time…  It is kind of comical that folks believe that once they’ve achieved a certain degree of success, people will respect them more!  No they won’t!  Those same people will create fodder to discredit your accomplishments, devalue your successes and accredit your achievements to EVERYTHING but …

Comeback: to Social Inspiration

“There is nothing so pitiful as a young cynic because he has gone from knowing nothing to believing nothing.” -Maya Angelou Ain’t this just the truth?  I really feel this the most when I’m on social media.  Where did the encouragement of self-deprecation come from?  Are we really supposed to find community by celebrating and bonding over our shortcomings? I’d argue that there …

Comeback to Clear Skin: Top 10 Low To No Cost Tips

I LOVE Angel because she’s …
