The Quarter Life Comeback

The Quarter Life Comeback

By Nailah on January 19, 2012

Today’s blog post comes from Janah Valenzuela , a 20-something blogger and self-proclaimed pop culture junkie. She shares the story of how she survived the dreaded Quarter Life Crisis by learning to let go of plans & expectations and make room for lots of acceptance. ****** I had no idea how familiar I’d become with [...]

Balance.

By Nailah on December 15, 2011

Sometimes I think too much. Maybe this happens to you too. Sometimes I get all wrapped up in the thoughts running through my head. I furrow my brow, I bite my lip and I mull over things. When I fall into a tailspin of thinking it becomes easy for me to over-analyze miniscule events or [...]

What’s In Your Way?

What’s In Your Way?

By Nailah on May 16, 2011

A few months ago, my husband and I were rushing to get out of the house on time. In our mad dash hurry, we accidentally locked ourselves out of the house. Because we were frazzled and cranky, we froke out. Curses were uttered, the door was violently shook, walls were kicked but in the end [...]

Professional Success vs. Personal Fulfillment

By Nailah on January 18, 2011

I love listening to people speak. In college, I had the opportunity to hear Maya Angelou speak and was completely transformed. So it’s no big surprise that I love TED Talks. And the one that Sheryl Sandberg gave at TEDWomen was no exception. She spoke about something I’ve thought a lot about myself: professional women [...]

Happy Friday Folks! It’s been a busy week around these parts. I’ve been playing a bit of catch-up this week after my digital sabbatical last week.

Keep on Truckin’

Keep on Truckin’

By Nailah on November 10, 2010

I’ve been watching Conan O’Brien for years now. I giggled at his and Andy’s antics when I was supposed to be sleeping, I tried to flawlessly perform the string dance, I literally squealed when I found out he was on Twitter. I’m firmly on Team Coco. Needless to say, I was disappointed and saddened when [...]
