Well guys we are still #1 and headed to the last stretch of the regular season. Six more games to go before the playoffs!!! All we need to do is stay focused and keep doing what we have been doing that has led us to where we are now. Our bread and butter is our defense, so that’s definitely something we will have to continue to do to be successful. I don’t think we need to worry too much on our offense because we have so many weapons. If we execute our plays correctly, anybody can score at any given time. Its going to be very important to win these next seven games so that we can maintain home court advantage throughout the playoffs!! Hopefully The Minnesota Lynx will lose a few games and we can have a better record than them. That would be sweet lol

As for me, well my play is still a little shaky but definitely better. This season has been a little rocky, but winning makes it all better. That’s the beauty of being on a great team. Even if you aren’t doing your best individually, you have great teammates who can pick up the slack for you. I’m coming along and I know that my team will need my playoff and championship experience in the long run. I just have to stay ready. It will be so nice to win a 3rd championship in my 14 year WNBA career. OMG wouldn’t that be incredible?

Today is an off day for us and I’m just chilling in my apartment watching TV and relaxing. It feels great to be able to just chill and take a break from basketball for a day. I think I will study for my brokers class that I have to transition to for real estate. I have my real estate license in Illinois and they have changed the rules and now all Sales Agents (which I am), have to become brokers. I have to really study so that I can pass. And I have to pass by next April. Wish me luck ☺ I’m also still working on owning my very own Jamba Juice Franchises, so continue to keep a look out for news about that.

Oh yeah, for those of you that wrote to me about fixing the comment section on here, I am still looking into that and hopefully will have that worked out soon. And again if you have questions or just wanna know anything, I will try to share as much as I can with you. Just hit me with a comment. I can still read them. Thanks for all of your support and keep us in your prayers with this upcoming road trip to Atlanta, Connecticut and Chicago!!!

Until Next Time…..

As for me, Im really not playing my best basketball.  I know everyone can see that I was in a terrible slump.  Not sure if it’s quite over with yet, because the last two games was sort of weird.  When I say weird this is what I mean. The last time we played Connecticut, I felt like I was slowly coming out of my slump.  My shots were actually falling lol, I played 25 minutes, and overall I  felt pretty good and then…..the next game against Minnesota I only played six minutes What is that really about.  Not understanding that at all.  I can’t deal with inconsistency and that’s what I feel is going on right now.  This is the second game this year where I’ve played very little minutes and since this has never happened to me before, I don’t know how to deal with it.  I feel out of my comfort zone.  The good news is we are still in first place in the East and we have an amazing team that can definitely make a run for a championship.  With that being said I’m just going to stay positive, stay in the gym extra and work on my game, and keep my head up.  I have wonderful teammates surrounding me and a loving family so I have nothing to complain about.

On a lighter note, Catch’s birthday is coming up and I need to get her something.  Any ideas? Remember you guys can hit me up on here, Facebook or twitter. Let me know if you want me to talk about anything or if you have questions for me.  Love you guys!  Thanks for all the support  

Until Next Time…..

P.s. Shout out to phoenyxxRising for promoting my website on twitter.  Appreciate that!!

I miss my doggie Jade soooo much!!  I had to leave her at a doggy day care in Indy and I really miss her.  They are taking really great care of her.  They send me updates and pictures all the time.  They even have a Facebook page where I can look at pictures!  Can’t wait to see her today! I know she misses her Mommie.  When I retire I am going to get another dog but maybe a bigger one.  Any suggestions? Jade needs a younger brother or sister.  Preferably a black dog because I have the perfect name. I wonder if you guys can guess what name.  Hint: It has to be connected to Jade’s name some way.

As for myself I’m still working hard on my business plan for Jamba Juice.  I need a great business plan to attract the right investors.  I’m getting closer and closer to my dream of owning at least 3-5 stores and will continue to work hard until I can accomplish those goals.  I’m also working on some other things that I don’t want to put out there yet I need to keep this one to myself until I can bring it to fruition. I can give you guys a hint though : currently looking for some fashionistas out there that’s willing to help a Sista out.  Any great designers in the Indianapolis/Chicago area? If so definitely need your help!!! Just thought I would put that out there.  And if there is anyone out there that wants to be a serious investor for a Jamba Juice, please let me know that as well Never hurt to ask.

One last thing.  I need to get out the house in Indianapolis. Where can I go, what can I do? I pretty much like all fun things except going out to clubs, but if I can’t find anything else to do then the club may be my last resort.  Please please don’t let that be my last resort. Lol  help me out guys!!  Hit me on my Fb or twitter page or you can send me a message through the contact page on here.  And if you want me to talk about anything specific on my blog just let me know and I will try to accommodate you. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Until Next Time…..

Training camp was pretty intense. Coach Dunn is very demanding and she pushes us to maximize our full potential. I’m so excited that I will be able to play in the post this year as well as on the perimeter. For the past 4 years I don’t think I ever ventured inside the post area. I was forbidden I guess it’s different systems for different teams and I had to play my role but geez. I’m blessed to have the opportunity now to utilize all my skills. Thank you very kindly Coach Dunn!!

Being on a new team is always a nervous feeling in the beginning but I was actually fine. The girls were great in welcoming me to the team and made me feel very comfortable. I’m happy to be reunited with Catch again after playing with her years ago in AAU basketball.  Yes its been a while, but now we are back together.  I’m also pumped up about playing with Dougie, Bri and Tammy.  We have a very experienced starting 5 and that will help us out in the long run.  You just wait an see!! So the next time I write, hopefully we will be 3-0 after beating Chicago and New York twice.  Cross your fingers. Until Next Time……..

I am currently in Indiana which is not far from my home; it is only a 3 hour drive. This has been the first time I have drove to a training camp in my 14 years of playing. Today was our first day of training camp and it was a bit long, but well worth it. I had a great first day learning a lot of new things and gelling with my new teammates. I had a nice break at home before coming to camp losing in the finals in Poland to Erin Phillips team (my new Indiana teammate).

I am excited about being an Indiana Fever and doing all I can to help my team win a championship. Playing for a very talented team and being close to home you really can’t ask for much more besides a ring *laughing*. We have day 2 of training tomorrow and I am ready to learn more. I hope everyone enjoys my website and blogs. Until next time…
