For Your Entertainment: Mixtape Magic by Nana Kwabena, Voodoo Child
I am always obessively looking for new music to listen to. “DJs” are a dime a dozen and good ones are particuarly hard to find. A guy that I went to school with at the University of Ghana put out this mix and I really dig it. Sharing is caring. Listen to his mix here. Happy listening...
WatchMusic Monday: Part II Kendrick Lamar - Bitch Don’t Kill My Vibe
Finally a video for this track. Bish Don’t Kill My Vibe is my new phrase. It is kind of like Y.O.L.O but less annoying.

Healthy Glow Travels... It is Time to Pick My Next...
It is Labor Day here in Mexico and I am spending the day trying to narrow down my next diplomatic posting. I have to pick 30 different international jobs from a list that has 522 jobs. I leave Mexico in August 2014, but the Department of State says it is time for me to mentally wrap my mind around going somewhere else.
As soon as I know where I am going and what job I am going to have for August...

Happy Friday! Words of Wisdom for the Weekend
This week I had a lot of time for self-assessment, personal growth, and thinking. I have spent the last couple months of 2013 really pushing myself out of my comfort zone and doing things that would create some kind of indelible change within me. There are so many things that I want do, I want to work on, I want to improve…
One thing I did realize about myself this week is the power of my...

“Everything Dies. That is the law of life-the bitter unchangeable law” ― David Clement-Davies, Fell
Since moving to what was once one of the most dangerous cities in the world, Ciudad Juarez, my mortality and death have been on my mind almost every day. The memories of the height of the drug violence that once plagued this dear border city, surround me every day. The shattered glass in a empty...

It is easy if you follow these steps:
1. It can happen if you are honest with yourself.

Fitness to the Test: April Fitness and Nutrition...
I did a February and March Fitness and Nutrition Goals posts. However, for April I am going to keep it simple. The second triangle diagram shows exactly what I plan to do. I plan to follow this 9 week strength plan, eat clean, and focus less on cardio (only 5 minute running warm ups and 10 minute jogging cool downs).
What are your fitness goals for this month?

Fitness To the Test: Run Burpee Run Challenge
I FREAKING love BURPEES. They are difficult, they work the whole body, and they can push your body to the limit. Don’t know what one is? Click here. I remember the days when just doing one made me feel like I was going to die. Now, I knock them out like it is nothing (not bragging but I do want brush that dirt off my shoulders).

I think I have mentioned the healthy living blog Carrots n Cake (CNC) a million times. When I started my health journey I didn’t know that many people who were on a path to better health. So I tried the internet. The first blog I found was CNC. She updated her blog multiple times a day, she tries different workouts, creates healthy recipes that are easy to follow, and even shows when she...

Fitness to the Test: Check-In, February & March...
During the first week of the month, I posted my goals.
1. Strength train ONCE a week. I don’t loose weight easily but I can loose inches. Starting today at 6:10pm at a body pump class. Hold me to it!
I don’t want to brag but I am killing this goal! I feel leaner and firmer! I finally got over my fear of working out with all of the guys in my gym. Who gives a fuck if they stare at me while...
