Without a doubt, I’ve been a highly blessed and favored woman wallowing in the joys of sweet, sweet happiness throughout 2010. It is as if the universe positioned all the key ingredients for an awesome year right in the palm of my hand. Before I take my annual stroll down the year that was, I [...]

There are times in life where I feel very much like I’m embracing the “kid at heart.” Today was one of them. I made what will probably be my last trip to the beach for the rest of 2010. Siesta Key (home to one of Florida’s best beaches) played host to the 1st Annual Siesta [...]

So… Saturday night. Let’s say I had a pretty awesome time celebrating my good friend’s final hooray as an unmarried woman. Disappointed that I had missed her bridal shower while in Ethiopia this year, I wanted to be sure to contribute in FUN to the highest degree possible. But get your head out the gutter. [...]

The home life seems to be back in full swing again. Things feel a bit back to normal (whatever that is) since returning from my around the world ways. I started the good old typical 9 to 5 type of job to hold me tight for while. You know, replenish the piggy bank and that [...]

Turn your speakers up folks. What can I say about this past weekend that can’t be seen in the lickle photo gallery above? Friends? Check! Sun, sand and surf? This is Florida. Fun times? For certain! I was lucky enough to finagle myself into a three day weekend from work, so my celebration started on [...]

Welcome! Photo: Adrienne C. Wilson Funny how some free attractions can offer far more to the visitor than those which charge a fee.

Now that I’m practically in the neighborhood and with temperatures being a [...]

I’d heard over and over about the the wonderful Sunday Thai brunch, but never had the opportunity to go until yesterday. I took a few pictures, but mostly chilled [...]

You are invited to my book signing event in the Clearwater, FL area! Please join me for one or all of these special events. Bring a friend, a family member and warm smiles. I will be signing copies of my children’s book titled, Isaac and the Bah Family Tree. The event details are as follows: [...]

Veer left off exit 17 from Interstate 4 and you’ll discover a land where dinosaurs are very much alive. I’d been trying to get someone to tag-a-long for a quick trip to Dinosaur World for as long as the Mesozoic Era. Without having ever visited the roadside attraction myself, I just couldn’t shake the notion [...]

This past weekend was one of the best yet of all 2009. I’ll start with Thursday evening, when I dined at Terra Sur Cafe with Dayo and local photographer extraordinaire, Hampton. I opted for the Tallarin Saltado, which was muy bueno! We talked about Nigeria, D-I-Y photos on canvas, and the recently past Clearwater Jazz [...]
