Holiday Fuss
2020 has been a year of _________ (fill in the blank). Creativity. Through adversity we’ve launched a new business venture, Art Effect Kid, LLC and Kid Coffee, as well as revamped our website. It’s also been a year of fun house projects. My first and biggest decorating project for the Thanksgiving holiday was setting my dining table, Pinterest-style. The center of my theme was a … Continue reading Holiday Fuss
Moroccan Connections
On August 4, 2017, my family and I welcomed an exchange student from Casablanca, Morocco into our home! Arriving in America marked Zineb’s first trip out of the country without family and friends. Neither of us knew what to expect. In the first few days we learned about each other. As time passed, we learned from each other. Here’s our story… May 2017– Within days … Continue reading Moroccan Connections

At this moment, life has never felt shorter. As the scripture resonates within my soul, no one knows the day or hour. By … Continue reading Motivated By Death
Bloggin’ Ain’t Easy
Pimpin’ ain’t easy and neither is Bloggin’ When I decided to live true to my creative self, I thought that setting up a blog would be nice and easy. Fast forward a few months later and I haven’t done much… besides posting this blog… on me not having done much! Every so often I have to remind myself that there is no competition.

Ungracefully Leaping
“Life remains unchanged till a leap of faith runs towards heaven” Life is about taking chances. It is through these leaps of faith that we uncover our strong and successful selves.
