Get (GIT) My Name Right
My name is Ilesha. Not Alisha. Not Iesha. Not Alyssa. It’s E-LAY-SHA. Forget it, call me COCO. And so it began, my losing of my name, and in part, myself.
Black vs Blue: When You Can’t Choose Sides
This is my husband-both BlackLivesMatter & BlueLivesMatter. This is our story. We don’t get to choose sides-at times under attack both in & out of uniform. This is our life – more than just hashtags, more than just labels. More than a singular story.

Make DUMB New Year Resolutions
I know that there isn’t any really magical about changing the calendar in January. And I know that there are the same 24 hours between December 31 and January 1st as there are between any other days, but . . . it certainly feels magical to me. Reflecting. Celebrating. Visioning. Creating. Then there’s the serious side of January . . . goal-setting and new year resolutions. For the past few years there has been a big push to set SMART goals. But this year, let’s mix it up a little and set a few DUMB goals in 2015!

If you’ve been on my list for a while, you’ve noticed that there has been a looooong stretch of “radio (er, blog) silence.” However, while I’ve had puuuh-lenty going on in my “real” home, I haven’t had a lot going on here, in my digi-home. So, I’m hitting the reset button. Coming back, stepping up to the plate, getting back in the saddle (or whatever cute saying you have in your arsenal) is always hard. But eventually, we have to. And through the process we are humbled and humanized and healed.
