Pardon my dust, I hope there’s not too much confusion. A lot happened around here after my last post! My website is undergoing a transformation at the moment, so I apologize ahead of time for broken links and general disarray. I’m still learning how to navigate the new layout, so many many apologies! My beloved Noire Memoir has become Goddess In Training Coaching! Why is all of this happening? So I that I can help other women avoid everything that I went through and more. This is the first time I'll go into more detail about that breakup. I avoided going into too much depth before, ...

Making My Dream Girl A Reality
In movies and TV shows, they often have a dream girl. She’s the object of the guy’s fantasy. She’s ethereal, mysterious, and completely out of his league. By the end of the show or movie, the guy has his dream girl and they’re happily ever after. The dream is the goal, and it’s always accomplished. If only it worked like that in real life, right? This fall, I began chasing a dream girl of sorts. Not a partner, although having a girlfriend would be just as wonderful as a boyfriend. No, I mean myself. But not in the way you think. It wasn’t about achieving the perfect figure or learning ...
My Reading List vs. My Netflix List
I know that most people settle in and watch scary and Halloween themed movies each October. I didn't this year, because I'm focusing on growth and learning. My spooky reading list has come to an end. I really enjoyed every book I read in October. If you forgot, they were It’s Not All Downhill From Here by Terri McMillan, Ghost Boy by Martin Pistorius, and Welcome to Your Crisis by Laura Day. I chose these instead of my regulars: The Shining, Halloweentown, and Hocus Pocus. I gotta say, I really enjoyed It’s Not All Downhill From Here. I love pretty much anything Terri McMillan writes. This ...
The Best Part of Affirmations
Hello and happy Sunday! We are so close to Halloween, I can taste the candy and feel the spookiness, even here in sunshiny Florida! It’s been a great week, so why don’t I get started on what I’m grateful for? Gratitude for this week Something funny that happened this week was seeing a snake during my daily power walk. I’ve given running a break because I hurt my foot somehow, but I ran like the wind when I saw another tiny black creepy crawly on the sidewalk. Judging by the ache in my quads and the yelps I made, I set a new record for the 50-meter dash. Usain Bolt has competition now. ...
Books for the Month of September
I love to read and have been doing it since I was two according to my parents. Each month I like to share what I’m reading with my followers. My reading list for September includes three books: Too Much is Never Enough by Mary L. Trump, The Ready to Heal – Breaking Free of Addictive Relationships 3rd Edition by Kelly McDaniel, and The Missing Piece by Shel Silverstein. I’m reading a serious one, a relationship one, and yes, one for kids. If you know me, you know I’m not the biggest fan of the current administration. I had hopes that maybe, just maybe, with the slimmest of chances, if I ...
Goodbye to Negativity
Dear Negative Sense of Self, I keep coming back to you. Year after year, time after time. When I've let you go, just as quickly, I've come running back. You are my normal. You are reliable, infallible, and indefatigable. You are me, and I am you. I need you. I can't understand the world without you. And yet, someone has changed. It's me. I have changed. Your truth has become lies in my ears.Your embrace has become rejected by my heart.Your sincerity has become hollow in my life. I'm leaving you behind, just as you promised that others would leave me. You told me that I was ...
