Me posing in the Mystics new Uniforms! I love the new colors!!
I don’t know if it was the bus accident in China or just the ups and lately downs that I’ve had in my career but I needed to regroup. I had to take some time away from Blogging, Facebook, and Twitter. I even put my passport away.
Since I’ve graduated from NCSU-way back back in the day- I’ve been playing basketball year round. I’ve seen my family and friends here and there, spent time in my house sparingly but I’ve not been anywhere consistently for even one year at a time. So when you travel as much as I have it’s easy sometimes to feel disconnected and out of touch with alot of things. I therefore decided to take some time away and go back home and I’m really glad I did.
I spent the last 3 months back in my hometown of Roseboro NC and got a chance to get back to the core of where everything started.
I went back to the place where my roots are. I spent time with my family and friends, spent time with the people who have known me before I even aspirations of becoming a professional basketball player.
I'm ready for whatever!
I went back to N .C . State and worked out in the weight room with Charles, got workouts in with Coach J. I got those pick-up games in with the guys at the Wellness Center in Clinton.
NOW . . thanks to great time and much needed conversations with friends and family I feel rejuvenated!! And I realized again that playing basketball is still so much fun for me and I’m super excited about this summer!.
“After turning 35 I’m coming all the way live” and inviting you to join me in my 13th season in the WNBA . I’ll be blogging every chance I get all season long sharing with you the ups and downs of the season as I join with the Washington Mystics an hopefully bring a WNBA Championship to the Nation’s Capital.
