Life

It’s Still Possible

Nine years ago, I had the opportunity to meet someone I had long admired, Dr. David Satcher, former Surgeon General of the United States. I was on cloud nine. At one point in time, I wanted to be the Surgeon General of the United States. Interesting, huh?

With Dr. David Satcher at FNCE in Atlanta, October 2014.

This is why I revisit my Facebook memories every day. They remind me of my goals and dreams and so many wonderful moments. That picture reminds me that any and everything is possible. I can still be who I desire to be and achieve any dream imaginable. During that same week, I met chefs Leah Chase and Marcus Samuelsson.

Y’all, I was so excited to meet Dr. Satcher. I’m pretty sure he thought I was a fan of his because of his looks or something. Nah.. I was a fan of his work. At the time, I saw myself doing the exact same thing or something similar. I was like, if he could do it, then so could I. I just had to touch where I wanted to be. Y’all, I was on my way there! I was so close.

I may not be able to recreate that same atmosphere but I can tap back into that mindset. It’s not gone. It’s still here. I needed to see this today. God is so good. I keep telling y’all He loves me. I know He’s going to make sure I get to where I am going.

On another note, both of my shows are back!! Tyler Perry’s The Oval and Sistas did not disappoint! Tuesday, I did okay. Wednesday… Wednesday, I really wanted to jump back into chat mode but I didn’t. I did good. Someone I met in the We Are Sistas group said they would chat with me after the shows so that’s worked. I’m going to be alright.

Looking forward to seeing where this next half of my life takes me. ONLY expecting, claiming, and accepting great things!

Hello Year50!♥️
