Right before my 25th birthday I was so confused and frustrated with my life. For some strange reason in my head I believed by the age of “25” I would have arrived!

Well the reality was I was living in the A (Atlanta), had a Master’s degree from Emory University, and no job! Several nights I laid in bed staring at the ceiling fan wondering why me? For all of my questionings I found some strength and encouragement and compiled a list of 25 things learned by 25 on God, Love, Relationships, and Life. That was approximately 2 years ago and I have a new list and a new outlook on life.

A personal chef
To travel to Turks …
