A Thankful Season

November 28, 2013 by savvydiva

Every year, the festive season of reflection falls upon us on the last Thursday of November, which sometimes falls on my birthday.

Traveling Chronicles: Luggage Junkie

June 7, 2013 by savvydiva

I travel at least once every two months for my “9-5” gig, and would normally fancy myself as being a pretty good luggage packer, especially if I’m traveling for less than three days. However, I recently returned from a week-long business trip and was faced with the grueling fact that I no longer possess the […]

A Savvy Mishap – Reusable Ice Gone Bad

May 15, 2013 by savvydiva

I’ve been juicing for 24 consecutive days, religiously, so you’ll understand why I questioned my religion when I thought I had accidentally poisoned myself. The morning was as normal as any other morning, except, I overslept an hour as opposed to my usual 20 minute delay. Once the kid was dressed and fed along with […]

Fitness Infomercial Overload

May 2, 2013 by savvydiva

It was only five months ago when everyone preached and promised New Year revelations, and professed their new outlook on life and beyond. Fitness gyms, personal trainers, and weight loss programs were promoting the latest and greatest answer to New Year success. I began to notice the influx of infomercials on rotating schedules of convenience […]

A New Year – Reloaded

January 1, 2013 by savvydiva

Review, Restore and Reload– That was the theme of my thought process during the week of Christmas. I was anxiously anticipating the end of a great year that highlighted frustrations, obstacles, battles, victories, high blood pressure, restored friendships and lost loved ones. The hustle and bustle of the holiday season attracts frustration, stress, depleted finances, […]

The Rush Hour Chew!

October 22, 2012 by savvydiva

Defensive Concentration – I’m convinced the evening rush hour is more intense and extreme than morning rush hour. I’m more on edge and resistant to line cutters and traffic signal violators in the evening than I am in the morning.

Tardy…but Hair!

December 20, 2011 by savvydiva

My seven year-old son was ecstatic about his role in his school’s Christmas play, and the morning of his performance was the same morning I would reveal my new hairstyle. I morning conversation included his stage fright, his cool outfit and his calming muse…me; okay, okay, and his dad. Sonny Boy and I agreed that […]

10 Things Girlfriends Should Never Share!

May 23, 2011 by savvydiva

Even when you’re in need for a shopping spree, you have a set of girlfriends you will call to support your shoe addiction, or your pocketbook infatuation.

Reality TV

October 24, 2010 by savvydiva

If your life was a television show, would it be a comedy, drama, soap opera or documentary? Of course I would have to say my life on TV would be Dramoperadytary — a comedy/drama/soap opera/documentary all in one. The intro music to my show would probably change from day to day, depending on the type […]

Hoarders — Why do we hold onto things we don’t use?

April 28, 2010 by savvydiva

I’m surrounded by items that have begun to pile up (small controllable piles) as unnecessary frustrations. Perhaps if I’d learn to recycle more at an earlier age, I wouldn’t harbor these thoughts. The three main items that force me to grind my teeth on a daily basis are… Underwear – my underwear are categorized under two headings…menstrual cycle […]
