Howdid the blog begin?

TalkswithT, began in the living roomof my apartment with a couple of friends. Soon, conversations around workplace do’sand dont’s, along with our short term goals led to frequent “talks with T”. Iwanted to share my experiences that friends enjoyed in our personal space in amore social way. I began transferring conversations with friends to actualjournal entries to share with the world. TalkswithT will serve as an open formto engage with readers and like minds to keep conversations going.

What you can expect from this blog is to read aboutlife experiences, current events, thought provoking questions, and where myanswers may help others find their answers. Orthe opposite, where I am enlightened by someone else's experience. No matter a person’sage, race, class, or position in life, there are always transitions that canhelp us become a better person. The blog will use storytelling, poetry, andartwork to capture my curiosity, growth, and talks with various people.

2014 was the year of happenings and the year of thegreen, literally. My career began, I was able to afford traveling and have girltime on the weekends, and I seriously began to tithe. 2015 for me representsthe year of the dreams! Now that I am positioned well financially, and in mycareer I will explore all other things that I have a passion for.
