Day 8 and 9 of my #Octoberbloggingchallenge OOTD and Throwback Tuesday




My ootd yesterday. I wore: a purple short sleeved sweater with slacks and white shoes.


I wore the bracelets that hubs bought me. I'm also wore my college ring from my alma mater.  Right now, I'm experiencing water weight and this ring fits me best.

I had a successful meeting with The TCC Connection yesterday. I enjoyed meeting everyone and donated to their fundraiser for NABJ. (National Association of Black Journalists). I am looking forward to this coming semester and all it brings. I sincerely hope that comes with a position as Office Manager. Their faculty advisor seemed interested in having me on board for the job!

Day 9:

Throwback Tuesday

I racked my brain to think of what to say. My life has changed so much since last year. I am back in school and preparing to re enter the work force. I am traveling around town on my own. I am more confident in myself and my abilities, despite what anyone says.

Most importantly, I am unafraid. I've been afraid in the past and I'm not afraid anymore. No matter how far I go, at least I tried and I am proud of that.

Finish strong!

We're down to the last few weeks folks! I have to finish my editorial on the college admissions scandal this weekend and this month will be attending a religious service for intercultural communication. On the 18th, I will be attending the Campus Activities Board for student leadership recognition and then a gala for winning a scholarship! This has been a challenging semester with lots of illness and pain, but I can see the light. I will have three weeks off until my summer classes start. I am taking Social Media Marketing and Honors TCC Connection. My job requires all students working there to enroll in a class each semester to advance their learning. In the fall, I am taking Principles of Advertising, Honors TCC Connection, Digital Photography, and Japanese I. Wish me luck! Gabrielle

Day 14 of my #30daybloggingchallenge Three healthy habits

I have started to try to incorporate more healthy habits into my life as of late. Here are three. 1. Get to bed at a decent hour. I used to stay up until after midnight every night, just surfing the net and watching television. Now, I try to get in bed by 10:30 or 11 p.m. at the latest. Getting more sleep allows me to be more productive the next day. 2. Drinking more water. I have started drinking more water. I prefer bottled water or sparkling water, I  do not like the water from the tap in my area; it has a strange taste. My mom dislikes tap water too and keeps bottled water around for that reason. 3. Get some exercise in daily. Whether it be going back to the gym or going to the park or stretches here, I try to do something. I've been doing house cleaning daily this week and that requires lots of exercise on my part. What are your three healthy habits?

Why going back to work was the best thing I could have done

I was a stay at home wife and furmom for the better part of a decade. I enjoyed it, but it got to where I needed more. I needed challenges and interaction from other people. I went back to college at Tulsa Community College last fall and aced my class. I applied and started working at The TCC Connection in December 17th. It has been a great experience for me and I'm loving meeting new people. I love the interaction with my coworkers and the camaradie. I also enjoy being involved in campus activities and being a part of the campus activities board. But mostly, I've enjoyed being a part of a community again. I enjoy being busy and having exciting new challenges everyday. It's days like today where I am at home ill that makes me appreciate my new life. I enjoyed my old life, but I have a great new one and I couldn't be happier.
