And thank you for your patience, while I took some time off from blogging 👩🏽‍💻 to accomplish some personal and professional goals.

TODAY is a throwback blog in which I detail one of my funniest travel experiences to date. It involves a trip to Dallas, Erykah Badu and lost rental vehicle… I stumbled upon this email that I sent to family and friends after the trip and was instantly taken back to that crazy weekend.
