About Me

My photo
I am a native of New Orleans but currently live in the DC metro area. The things that I enjoy the most in life are photography, lending a helping a hand to those around me, traveling, cooking, and the taste of great wines. I believe that life should be lived out loud and that the greatest tradjedy is to not live your life to the absolute fullest and that you should do so without fear of failure to just simply try.

Sometimes We Need The Rain

I believe that my greatest life lessons have come as a result of overcoming the challenges that have come my way. From the death of a love one, I have learned to not take life for granted. From heartbreaks, I have learned how to love. From the ending of a valued friendship, I have learned how to be a better friend. From failure, I have learned how to succeed. And out of hatred, jealousy, betrayal and selfishness, I have learned compassion, forgiveness, self-worth and the importance of honesty and trust. These are just a few of the lessons that have come after the rain.



If everything in life just came easy for me, I probably would not have been able to deal with adversity. If I didn't have the rain, I wouldn't be able to appreciate the sunshine upon my face. God never said life would be easy but it is definitely worthwhile. Whatever troubles you may be going thru, I encourage you to stop,listen and take heed to the lesson. Every step in life has a very specific purpose and a valuable lesson attached to it. Don't loose the lesson. And remember Sometimes We Need The Rain!
