Living Life Fearlessly and Without Hesitation
I've been meaning to share this for a while now since I received this gift like a month ago, but it's better to do this late than never, right? A couple of months ago, my former co-worker and friend Shandana asked me for my address as she wanted to send me a wedding gift from…
There have been many times during my unemployment where I've read articles and self-help posts on how to apply for jobs or what to do for resumés and cover letters in hopes of unlocking the "secret" to landing a job in my desired field.

He mentioned me in the conversation and how I was interested in…
Can I just say that I am proud of this girl (*points to self*) for completing her very first sewing project EVER! May not be a huge deal for you but it is for me, especially as someone who is a creative and has the awful habit of starting something and not seeing it through…
With only one post on my blog and so much excitement that came with publishing it, I find it sad that it has taken me over two months to post another one. With the amount of daily interactions and happenings in my life, I can't even blame it on not having anything to talk about.…

I am so excited and pumped to be starting this blog! I have made an attempt in the past but feel this time around my direction for this blog appropriately reflects who I am and the growth I crave creatively and spiritually. Most importantly, the vision for Create & Pray encompasses the uniqueness and versatility that I…
