You could say Perry Lane Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel had big shoes to fill though it wasn’t following in the footsteps of a predecessor when it opened among ardent squares in the heart of Savannah’s Historic District this summer. It was, however, joining a coterie of charming inns and bed & breakfasts that have cinched the coastal town’s reputation for hospitality and...
Summer is my favorite season. I love being awoken by rays of natural light cascading across my bed. I love the low hum of the fan. I love winding away lazy days at the beach ... and spur-of-the-moment ice cream runs with my girlfriends. I love feeling of the warmth on my shoulders ... I love everything about it. If ever there is...
It’s not out of the ordinary to hear someone describe an individual as one “who never meets a stranger.” I’ve not heard a place pronounced as such. But, I’ll be saying it about Cabo’s Hacienda Encantada Resort & Residences from here on. A dramatic destination that ensures seclusion, while still close to the best of the Baja – Hacienda Encantada sprawls above the sea along...
Next week I'll be conducting my first writer's workshop - Writing Space - hosted by Minniways Productions and Intimately Opulent Events on July 7, 2018. This is an exciting endeavor for me because it has been a long time coming. I've hosted many events and had one-on-ones with people who read my blog or that I've met via social media over the past...

Back then, I didn't always feel hungry for a snack; these days, I snack like my life depends on it because of my workouts. I keep my favorites in...
It’s not difficult to be sold on a weekend, just minutes from the ocean in South Beach Miami. Add to it three days in boutique accommodations curated especially for adults, only; and a complimentary French-inspired breakfast spread that includes croissants and vegan banana bread or an olive loaf and wine during the evening wind down, and you have the makings of a satisfying...
When was the last time you set a small goal for yourself ... crushed it and celebrated? For me, it was yesterday. Well, I set the goal about a month ago, but I achieved it yesterday and celebrated myself like I had won the lottery. I do that for just about every benchmark I surpass in my life — spiritually, professionally and everything in between....
I don't like working out. But, I love how I feel mentally when I finish and how I feel physically every day because I'm pushing myself and getting through at least 60 minutes five to six times a week. I can thank my family's annual wellness challenge for this because prior to its start five years ago, I wasn't doing anything fitness wise....
