She is a Warrior
for the rest of 2019, I will be working on #GirlPower and #Sheis
It will speak to who we are as women and what we can accomplish. She will go to battle prepared or unprepared. She will fight with everything she’s got. She will fight until she slays you or dies. She does not give up.

Map Something Out
When you are going somewhere, map something out so that you will have a sense of where you are going. A map will give you a landscape of what you will encounter on the way so that there are no big surprises. It will also tell you how you will travel and how much ground you will cover.
When I start fleshing out an idea, I map it out. Since I am a visual person, there are little shapes here that hold small ideas and big shapes there that hold big ideas. The whole thing will become my response to the journey that I am on.
Your map doesn’t have to look like everyone else. It just has to tell you the information you need when you need it. It can be a representation of items to remind you what you need to do.
It can show where you start and how far you have gone. It will give you a visual representation of your journey also reminding you of what you have been through. Sometimes at the end of the year, we review our progress and it doesn’t seem like we have done much. It may seem like we stay in the same place for a long time, but we forget about the times we go up high mountains or down to deep valleys. We should account for those times and think about what we learned in the process.

Where You Like to Go
One of my favorite places has more than 100 museums which are free to visit. It reminds me of what we have accomplished as a nation and some things we need to do better. It is one of the most powerful cities on the planet but it is still open to visitors.
It can majestic, beautiful and inspiring. It can be scary, unfriendly and confusing. Washington DC is lots of things to lots of people.
According to Fodor, don’t rent a car or grab a taxi. The travel site suggests you use public transit, like the Metro. I am a fan of the Metro and use it whenever I am in town. But don’t get so attached to the transit system that you forget to look at a map.
One time my friends left an hour before me to get to the museum by train. My ten-minute walk across the Mall got me there when they exited the train station. It is a great city to experience on foot. 
When you go make sure you plan a visit to the White House. This is something you have to do in advance, but it is worth it. There are many rules and high security, but to walk through history is the result. One year we went during Christmas which they allowed us to take our phones and take photos. It was an amazing experience.
There are lots of places to visit in this city and you will not get to most in one visit. Yet for me, the historical points keep me coming back. A visit to Ben’s Chili Bowl or to walk through the campus of Howard University inspires me.
For me, DC is like a good book with chapter after chapter. It never ends. There is always something more interesting to see.
Where You At?
If you know where you at you can judge the distance to where you want to go. Spend some time assessing where you are. Think about the good things
