Greetings Family and Friends! 😊
How are you? I trust that you are having a great day! As many of you know, I am a global travel journalist and I love traveling the world! But did you know that I have never been on Amtrak? My hubby Tony and I have always said that we wanted to take a train ride! Well… we will do so quite soon!
Amtrak has just offered a limited-time summer sale! If you buy one sleeping accommodation such as a roomette or bedroom, your companion rides with you for FREE! How cool is that? Well… my hubby and I took advantage of this offer! He bought the ticket and I’m his plus one! This just keeps getting better! Meals are included in the price of the ticket!
In your private room, you’ll relax in your seats by day as you behold the beautiful landscapes of America. Late into the evening, your chairs convert into beds for a night of calming rest. You can purchase your tickets between June 4 – 10, 2019 on Amtrak.com . It is valid for travel from August 1, 2019 through March 31, 2020.
“We believe that the journey is part of the adventure. Recognizing the need to get more out of every moment, we wanted to offer our customers a truly unique way to experience the country this summer,” said Amtrak President and CEO Richard Anderson. “With our sleeper sale, customers can share the experience while taking in some of the best views and sightseeing opportunities the United States has to offer.”
For more info on the newest state-of-the-art lines, exclusive lounges, special perks, the New Generation Acela Express, a romantic getaway, exciting landscapes, the most scenic routes, and things of that nature, please check out the links below! Thanks, and enjoy your week!

You know… February is that special time of year in which we remind ourselves and educate others on all of the profound things that African American men and women have accomplished over the years. Over the decades, we have looked back proudly on the accomplishments of our forefathers and foremothers in the fields of education, science, politics, religion, medicine, technology, art, and journalism among other genres.
But today, as we celebrate Black History Month, we do so with newfound meaning and renewed expectations. We’re spotlighting women who stand on the shoulders of historic giants. As they shatter glass ceilings and defy society’s norms and expectations, we’ve noticed that they don’t just check off one box in the career category. These nonconformists are magnificently multifaceted, multitalented, and multidisciplinary. Read their stories below. Follow them on social media. And watch them, in living color, as they serve their beloved communities even as their meteoric stars are on the rise.
Greetings Beautiful Friends and Family!
How are you? I trust that you are having a great day! The two paragraphs above are actually to introduce to my article just posted to The Ashro Blog! I was both honored and humbled to be able to feature these powerhouse African American beauties belong! They are AMAZING to say the very least! Just writing and subsequently reading their stories inspire me to be my very BEST! I trust that their stories bless you as they did me! Please click on this link to go directly to the article! Once you read it, please feel free to share it on your social media sites! It’s great to spread Good News!
