*Today’s Maverick Monday post is being brought to you by my alter ego, the Principal Attorney of “Creative Counselor at Law,” a Boutique Trademarks law, Branding, and Business law firm for creative entrepreneurs and business visionaries. Yep, The Bubbleista is also a lawyer.* Unless you live in a cave in the Antarctic; have sequestered yourself…
What do you do when you’re about to turn 40 years old and you feel deeply in your heart that you need to shift gears in order to find and fulfill your purpose? If you’re Dawn Sloan you: put on your “grown woman undies;” quit your job; enroll in culinary school; graduate at the top…
Hello, my dears! I just wanted to drop you a quick post to let you know that Motivation Monday will be making a return soon! I know these motivational posts {which I hope are just as inspiration to you as they are to me} have been, well, intermittent at best these last 3-4 weeks, but just be…
It’s Monday, darlings…welcome to a brand new week of possibilities! As promised in last week’s Transformation Tuesday post, for this week’s Motivation Monday I’m going to update you {as promised} on what I accomplished from committing to 5 straight days of self-discipline–and keeping the promises I make to myself–during the #OverHereBeingDisciplined challenge put together by…
Hello, my bubbly loving darlings. I’m writing this post immediately after the Kehinde Wiley brunch I told you about that I co-hosted with Afro Bohemian Snob {full recap coming soon} and I am EX.

It was a clear indication that this time of year was about bounty and harvest and celebrating growth. But…
There was a {actually quite moving} commercial by General Electric that aired several months ago about ideas. The premise and content of the commercial, I have to admit, was actually quite moving. I was so impacted by it in fact, that after watching it the very first time it really got me thinking. A lot. If you…
You know you’ve heard all these phrases before: “Everyday I’m hustlin’!” “I’ll sleep when I’m dead!” “Grind harder!” “Life is 90% hustle, 10% sleep!” Sorry, but I’m not buying into a single bit of any of that. Don’t get me wrong, I completely subscribe to the ethics and value of working really hard; making sacrifices; blood, sweat,…
If you’ve been hanging around the site for a while you’re probably familiar with my inspirational #MotivationMonday posts where I write about experiences and realizations in an effort to inspire aspirational action. In other words, I want what I write to get you act, to your benefit. I believe it’s part of my purpose in life to…
Just like many of you, at some point or the other I’m in various stages of pursuing my vision and goals in life, and because of that you can consistently find me doing 2 things: (1) journaling/writing {especially my ideas}; (2) learning/getting my knowledge up about the industries I want to make an impact in. That journaling…
You’re ready to take a vacation. You want to go somewhere you haven’t been before and decide on Canada. You live in New York and have decided to drive. You don’t have the best sense of direction and, being the adventurer that you are, you’ve decided to not map out the trip–you know you’ve gotta…
