VLOG- A Day in the life of a Magazine Publisher.

Come with me on a typical day--well maybe not typical because my life is pretty unpredictable. But I try to bring as much order to it as possible. On this day I went out for a morning walk thanks to my oldest son's encouragement.

I also met up with Kathy Lewis, the author "My Life in My Pocket" book collection for lunch at Brick City Pizza in Lutz Florida. Kathy will be the next cover person for Pasco Connect Magazine, and we sat down for lunch to review the first draft of her article, conduct follow up questions and have a nice catch-up chat.

I attend Kathy's virtual book club which is very exciting. I love the books that the group discuss, and I learn a lot from the discussions. Everyone in the group bring a lot of valid points and we don't always agree which makes for exciting discord.

We used this time to also discuss wardrobe for her photoshoot. I was able to bring her designs shipped from Jacksonville Florida from Syn Style Fashions.

Syndy Noisette is the head designer for Queen Connect Publishing and the garment that she made for Kathy is amazing and I can't wait to see it on the day of the shoot and pick out the perfect picture for the next cover of Pasco Connect Magazine.

She also received her bespoke jewelry pieces from Blessed Jewelry in Jacksonville Florida. I'm so excited for everything to come together and today was just another step towards that.

We finished up our lunch and took some cute pictures next to one of the Ninja Turtles, (at the restaurant hosts suggestion). It was a great time. I hope you enjoyed this quick trip with me on my day. I plan to share more of my journey.

Why You Might Be Paying More Than Your Neighbor for the Same Product

Surveillance Pricing: The Hidden Cost of Your Personal Data Have you ever noticed that prices seem to fluctuate depending on how and where you shop? Maybe you’ve used Instacart or another grocery delivery app and found that the price of your favorite milk online is higher than what you’d pay in-store. At first, these small discrepancies might seem like an unavoidable part of online shopping. But what if I told you that businesses might be charging you more based on who you are? Surveillance pricing is a practice where companies use personal data—such as your age, gender, income level, or even your location—to adjust the prices you see. Essentially, what you pay for everyday items could depend on what retailers assume you can afford. A recent Federal Trade Commission (FTC) study revealed how this type of pricing discrimination is becoming more common, with companies using advanced algorithms to analyze consumer behavior and set prices accordingly. For example, someone shopping in a low...

In the Last Days: The Church vs. The Black Israelites

In the Last Days: The Church vs. The Black Israelites Across social media, a recent viral moment has sparked intense discussion within the faith community. A prayer event led by Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchel was met with protests by a group identifying as the Black Israelites — reigniting long-standing debates about faith, race, and identity in the Black community. The confrontation, caught on video, shows the deep divide growing between traditional Christianity and movements that challenge its authority and cultural roots. The Black Israelites, also known as the Hebrew Israelites, are members of a religious movement that teaches that African Americans are the direct descendants of the ancient Israelites — the chosen people of the Bible. This belief system holds that through the transatlantic slave trade, African Americans were stripped of their true identity, history, and divine purpose. While not all Black Israelite groups are identical in their teachings, most share common beliefs: ...
