On Wednesday me and DJ previewed the upcoming Spider-Man Far from Home set to hit theaters this July 2nd. I want to thank Sony for having us out for the New York City preview. So yes folks this is a hosted review but I am gonna keep it real none the less. For anyone seeking inspiration this is a must see. Nick Fury played by Samuel L Jackson inspired hope in a non conventional, tough love kinda way. One of my favorite lines by Nick Fury was “Bitch please, you’ve been to space” as a call to action for Peter Parker when resisting leaving his school trip. This was actually…
Widowed Mom Michelle Williams Winning In Venom Movie
I can’t help myself, every time I see Michelle Williams I feel a sense of comradery. In life she is a widowed Mom living her best life, in her chapter two, and I am here for it. Seeing Michelle in a “super hero” movie is like life imitating art. In Venom Michelle plays Anne Weying who is the woman Venom (played by Tom Hardy) loves. Anne was truly bad ass, running against the crowd in the face of danger to save the day. There was no one better to play one of the bravest characters in Venom than Michelle. I felt pride, and excitement watching her deliver in the perfect on…

Healthy Hack: Saint Patrick’s Day Smoothie with BROC SPROUT 2
Looking back at my St. Patrick’s Day Traditions I always get excited this time of year when St. Patrick’s Day comes around. Traditionally my mom invites me over for a cornbeef and cabbage dinner in celebration of my Irish heritage. My dad was the one to pass on the Irish roots to me. Sometimes I meet with friends for drinks or I simply enjoy wine at home. In recent years after becoming a mom I do 1-2 kid friendly activities for St. Patrick’s Day with my son. We love finding shamrock shakes to try because of the taste (the idea behind it can be discussed another day). Sticking to health…

A widow’s journey There are 5 stages of grief; denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. It has taken me three years to reach acceptance. My new normal is living life as a single mom.

I have to love up on my son so that he knows how much I care while he still has me. What I had come to realize is I have spent a lot of time over the past three years checked out of life in my…
