Visiting Ireland has been on my bucket list ever s

Visiting Ireland has been on my bucket list ever since I completed a project on the "Emerald Isle" 20+ years ago in my gifted class! I still remember elements of that project -- talking about the Blarney Stone and "Erin Go Bragh" -- but @Riverdance wasn't part of my presentation! Well, consider this presentation 2.0. #gifted

I headed down to @thefoxtheatre to check out opening night of "Riverdance" and I was blown away! It is the 25th anniversary of this show, which originated in Ireland, and is full of beautiful singing, outstanding music ... and dancing. The DANCING! I was dizzy looking at the fast-moving feet and legs of the dancers. Precision? Oh, they've got it down pat. It's mesmerizing and impressive! I really didn't know what to expect but I'm so glad I tried something new. In addition to the traditional Irish dance, they also integrate Latin ballroom, jazz, and more.

And if you're into battles of the musical and dance variety ... just you wait!

This was me watching routine after routine: 😮😲🤯😍 And repeat. Just ask my friend (and theater buddy) @rnikonb 🤩 We couldn't look away, but why would we want to? This was outstanding and a great way to end a busy work week!

"Riverdance" got its start around the same time of my presentation! Here it is 25 years later, continuing to leave audiences enthralled by an incredible showcase of artistry, tradition, entertainment, and culture. I can't go back in time to add to my gifted class project, but I can return to The Fox for a second helping of this great show brought to you by @broadwayatlanta and @bravepratl.

Check it out: Performances are this weekend only! Visit riverdance.com or foxtheatre.org to purchase tickets! Let me know if you go!

Take a beach day.
Get a massage.
Get a mani AND the pedi.
Eat at that restaurant.
Book that flight.
Take that trip.
Say no.
Say YES again and again.

Put yourself first. Love yourself always.

While in Chinatown in Honolulu, I learned about the Chinese New Year and was present for the parade which commemorated the Year of The Rabbit (which starts today and coincides with the Lunar New Year).

Fun facts I found on chinesenewyear.net:

- The first seven days (January 22-29) are considered a public holiday. Celebrations for the Chinese New Year will culminate with the Lantern Festival on February 5.

- In Chinese culture, the rabbit represents the moon and is associated with the hours of 5-7 in the morning. The last Rabbit year was 2011 (I was 29! Aaaah, youth ... ).

- Personality traits of those born in a Rabbit year: quiet confidence and strength, steadily moving toward their goals, good scholars, socializers with an attractive aura.

Check your birthyear — were you born during a Rabbit year?

(Spoiler alert: I was born in a Dog year. 1982 babies, stand up!)

In a world where different cultures (read: non-white) are “othered” ... I choose to embrace, learn, and respect them to the best of my ability.

Started my new year with a vacation!

I spent seven days in Hawaii for some QT with my older brother who lives there and whom I haven't seen since 2019! #IAmHisFavoriteLittleSister

I also hit my favorite place to hike (Diamondhead) with my little cousin (and Hawaii first-timer) and hung out with more family who also made the trip. One of my classmates is living there now, so we got to catch up, shop, eat ... and repeat!

This is my fourth trip to Oahu and it's starting to feel like a home away from home. I know exactly where to go! #ObamaIsMyPlayCousin

There is, however, always something new to explore. I caught two parades and was able to celebrate the Chinese New Year in Chinatown and the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Plus, there's nothing like seeing your sorors and other Black Greeks!

There were also live performances, a farmer's market, and I finally had a beach day. It was so nice that we did it twice! (Look, with skin sensitivities, the beach and sand are never a good mix for me! But we made it work! #HelloNeosporin #SPF100 #BlackPeopleNeedSunscreenToo)

I also hit the gym because that's just what I do.

I'm already planning the next vacation in my head ... until then, aloha and mahalo!

One of the best things about living in Georgia is

One of the best things about living in Georgia is the access to sites honoring Dr. King. The King Center, The Center for Nonviolent Social Change, is an incredible way to learn about MLK and Coretta Scott King who led several efforts to ensure his legacy.

It is also the eternal resting place of the couple. I remember going to a memorial for Coretta Scott King when I was in grad school. It was my boss' idea, and he and I plus 2 other co-workers headed to Atlanta for the viewing of her body. She looked so beautiful. I'll never forget standing outside of the original Ebenezer Baptist Church to pay my respects.

We got wind of a musical memorial service and decided to go. It took place in the current Ebenezer building and, to our surprise, all four of the King children were present as well as former Mayor Shirley Franklin, Stephanie Mills, and Oprah Winfrey. I was so overwhelmed that I cried. It was a great tribute to a great woman who made sure the world never forgot her husband and his mission of peace.

Since then, I've had the pleasure of working with the state government for the annual MLK commemoration at the Capitol. There is a statue of Dr. King there as well.

On today, take a moment to reflect on the legacies of both incredible leaders.
