Thanksgiving is being served with a dose of Lockdown 2.0. The way in which we here in Philadelphia will be eating smaller meals as we aren't able to get together with loved ones. We also talk about comedian Mo'Nique who says that the real reason she calls her husband "daddy" is because he is raising herAnxiety Triggered this week and I am not sure if it had to do with the lockdown or just normal feelings all over the place.

As we grow and mature we find ourselves at points where what we once wanted no longer serves us. Would you apologize to the ice-cream truck that there are no more tacos at Taco Bell? No?! Stop apologizing to folks who can't bring us joy or not meant for us!

In a world where self-care has become a multimillion dollar market, can you fail at it? Is working from a full cup more expensive or is it more expensive not to operate at your best capacity. Self care and mental health go together!

September is Self Improvement Month. We all have so much to get better at in every area. Owning it and being an active participator matters. We deal with relationships and what we attract. No sugar coating-call a spade, a spade.

We all have had times where we have had to work that job that didn't serve us. Although the job market is deplorable right now, leaving a job may not be in your best interest.
