Travel Chronicles: City of Angels

Awesome trip! I spent my weekend in LA and oh what a wonderful time I had. Port only cost like 10.00 there! I was in paradise literally- Long Beach not LA. But is it not wonderful to have friends in diff states- no hotel cost and free tour guide!

OF course I went to Hollywood- I had to! Rolls Royce's and Bentley's everywhere- no wonder people dream big here- you see it on the daily basis and you want it!  I visited the LA County museum of art- some great collections- could not do it all in one day.

Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles- of course I went! Now being from Dallas and all I wish the chicken tasted like Rudy's but hey everybody cannot put crack on the chicken lol. The waffle was delish though! and the gravy on the smothered chicken MANNNNNN- reminded me of Liz Thompson's pan gravy- Can I get a biscuit with that? But  expensive! They were taxing 7 bucks for french fries- where they do that at? LA apparently.

So Cali is off of my vision board list and it is still January- making wonderful strides. I register to complete my Master's program first week of February and I am excited! Finish these 5 classes real quick and be on my way.

Back to Cali- I did not find love as my best-friends thought I would lol. But I did reconnect with some of my past and after some reflective thinking- realized I am stronger in areas I thought I was weak and I can be proud of myself! I really connected with someone- another one of my vision board themes. I want to actively pursue and connect with others on a real level- not the all smiles Chantel that I put a facade up to be. I did just that- no bars hold, weave out, make up off type conversations and I am glad I did. I am living life to the fullest and having no regrets- which does not mean I am free to do what I want but rather- I am free to say No and be ok with it or to say YES and go with it.

Loving what God is doing in my life and I will most definitely be in LA  a lot more.... shout out to SW Airlines- hometown originated airlines for those wanna get away tickets!

So my words of encouragement to you! Get out there, be yourself, travel more, love harder and drink port!

Taking Opportunities: It Takes A Man, Male Initiative Program, Inc.

This weekend I had the joy and honor of hosting the Launch Party for "ITM" Dallas. This initiative is a mentoring program geared towards young minority males to provide them with an outlet to be themselves and find their purpose in life. This program is not like others where I call you 1x week and maybe show up to a few games. It is about giving and receiving what you need to succeed.  The premise of the program is to not only mentor young men but for those same young men to then become mentors for a lifetime. The level of accountability is unsurpassed. As a mentee- I can mess up and maybe slack on my goals a little because someone (my mentor) is there to guide me, but once I become a mentor- someone else is now depending on me to be their guide and I now have a true empathy and understanding for their plight as a mentee- because I was there. It is genius. Consistency is the goal and we are committed to changing the world- 1 life at a time. Successful launch party on 10...

What are REFINED CARBS-?

REFINED CARBOHYDRATES AND PURIFIED SUGARS found this on the internet- at diagnosisdiet.com What are Refined Carbohydrates? It is actually easier to define which carbohydrates are NOT refined, because the term “refined” is very confusing. ALL sugars and starches, EXCEPT those that come in the form of a natural whole food like a piece of fruit, a Lima bean, or a sweet potato, are considered refined carbohydrates. If you are looking at a sweet or starchy whole food that you could come across exactly as is in nature, you are looking at an UNrefined carbohydrate. Refined carbohydrates are forms of sugars and starches that don’t exist in nature. They do come from natural whole foods, but they have been altered in some way by processing to “refine” them. Processing methods include industrial extraction, concentration, purification, and enzymatic transformation. It’s easy for most of us to identify sugars, because they taste sweet and usually come in the form of crystals, s...
