Distracted.

I'm going through a serious transition. It's been going on since 2019 I'm grateful and ready for all that it will bring that leads me closer to my joyful destiny. It's been a long time coming and it cannot be delayed any longer. I welcome the transformation taking place and embrace all endings and beginnings....I think I'm slightly addicted to beginnings lol #nolie

Because I've been distracted and stuck on a negative narrative, I haven't published anything since November 30, 2020 when I challenged myself to publish 30 pieces in 30 days that month. When the short term goal was accomplished I was proud and inspired to set a 2021 writing and publishing goal. Unfortunately, I did not use my free time wisely which led to me only achieving half the writing goal. 

Now, God has my full attention; I'm no longer distracted. Fully aware of my choices and where I stand I recognize how He allowed personal and professional relationships to get so uncomfortable that I had no choice but to create and enforce boundaries. Since then, my writing spark has been reignited. 

There's so much more to come...

My First 24 Hours in Prison

"They say, the first 24 hours behind bars are the hardest." - '12 Inside Student, Graduation Day In the Fall of 2012 I spent every Tuesday night in Pennsylvania's State Correctional Institution in Graterford ; it is a maximum security prison for men. Among the 14 selected Criminal Justice majors, I was the only Education major approved for the community-based-learning (CBL) course .  I eagerly joined the fresh "outside" inductees, in the   Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program . I am extremely honored to be an alumna of this program. The course will challenge your views and force you to consider what you have been taught as well as what you truly believe. From the moment I learned about the CBL course I was intrigued and wanted to know how I could be a part of the movement...The powerful movement of bringing people from the "outside" inside prisons to work with "inside" students to discuss prejudices, poverty, and perspectives. The idea of
