I was reminded this past week that I must stop seeking approval and validation from others.

We enjoyed a night of karaoke and then some … Continue reading A Year Older and a Bit Bolder
I have avoided live videos as long as I could. Well, until last week. With the rise of Periscope and now Facebook Live, it seems that more folks are taking advantage of recording live video of themselves. For me, I always put too much thought into going live and as a result, it prevented me from creating videos altogether. A few of the thoughts that … Continue reading Sometimes, You Have to Jump Right In
You ladies already know how much I enjoy chatting with other bolder sisters.

Shae also integrates her expertise on national sports and entertainment news into her stories.
