History and Hope
My hometown of Columbia, SC is a city with a rich culture, a sinister, yet triumphant history, and an auspicious future. Columbia, is home to the beautiful and expansive Lake Murray, the World Famous Riverbanks Zoo and the Columbia Museum of Art. Columbia is home to legendary musicians, civil rights activists, medical pioneers and historic firsts in our nation. It was selected as the capital in 1786, after the capital was originally in Charleston, SC the country's most infamous trading post for slavery. While that history will be forever woven into the fabric of who we are as a state, South Carolina and the residents of Columbia have a hemorrhagic emission of hope-as reflected in our state motto:"While I breathe, I hope."

Valentine's Day?!..Bah-humbug!!
VALENTINE'S DAY?!...BAH-HUMBUG! When Valentine’s Day approaches, many of my single girl and guy friends find themselves going through a myriad of emotions. They find themselves, as do I, just trying to get through the day virtually unscathed. The day is met with angst for the impending barrage of questions from nosy and curious relatives. Where is your Valentine? You don’t have anyone you wanna spend the day with? What ever happened to that one (girl or guy)? Leave me alone!..Valentine’s Day..Bah-humbug!

I Resolve To Rise
A new year is often a time of reflection and analysis. In the past, it has been a ritual of mulling over all of the things I intended to do, but did not quite get around to. Looking back and realizing that I didn't start that podcast, or the fact that I didn't lose the 50 pounds I intended to drop, or the fact that I did not meet, get engaged to and marry the love of my life this past year has felt like a two-ton boulder sitting on my shoulders.
