And for my birthday I went to travel + explore & play out in the middle of the desert 🌵.

I’ve always heard people describe their adventures to local travel destinations like Moab, the Grand Canyon and Sedona. With that in mind, I set out on a road trip with my besties to ultimately celebrate in Sedona, with a few stops in between.

Happy New Year 🎈 Day 464

Welcome to travel ➕explore ➕ play with SalleeJay where I am your host. Hopefully, by now you’ve settled very nicely into 2021 🤡😛🥴.

In all seriousness, I have a really good feeling about this year. To start, I’ll be pushing more content out to you guys. Be sure to connect with me on all social media platforms @SalleeJay.

I also want to be more intentional about my readership and community this year, so feel free to comment, like and DM me! Let’s get to know one another and really foster a sense of community because at the end of the day that’s what this social media thing is all about. 😏

I think I’ll call our community “The Jays”…

Free spirited, life long learners and lovers of life amongst other things. Think of yourself like the rare and majestic jay birds such as a Bluejay, Whisky Jack Jay or my personal favorite the Stellar Jay.

So Jays…. 🦅 (I like how that sounds 😌)

One of my new delights of the new year is #TravelTipTuesdays.

Let me know how you guys are enjoying these tips, and please provide any suggestions on tips that you may have that relate to travel or travel exploration.

Be on the lookout every third Thursday of the month for a new blog! I want to make sure that we are connecting at least once a month. 💋

Sign up for my newsletter so you don’t miss a beat.

Also, be on the lookout as I begin to plan to travel for my last birthday in my 30s. If all goes according to plan, I will be headed to Southwest Colorado to enjoy in some of natures divine glory. This will also be an opportunity for me to continue to strategize my blog and business for the new year to make sure that I am providing the best possible experiences and content for my very special Jay’s. I’m excited to begin the planning process that will allow me to connect with more of you all over the world, throughout the world.

I also plan to host a retreat in the fall for four very lucky and amazing women. Women who want to travel ➕ explore ➕ play with SalleeJay in Colorado, while learning from and healing with very talented, thought leaders and facilitators for three day healing. I’m talking about a full three day juice detox, yoga, new experiences and adventures in nature and so much more.

Again, thank you so much for rocking with me for all of 2020. I’m excited to connect with more of you in the new year, and to grow and increase my readership.

So in advance, hello 👋🏾 to all my new Jay’s. Let’s fly high and soar to new heights.

“Becoming” Sallee Jay Mother’s Day Edition

“Becoming” Sallee Jay Mother’s Day Edition

My mom is a very thoughtful woman. I remember when I was 17 and on an international trip for two weeks to Australia and New Zealand my mother made sure I was greeted with messages from her at each new hotel stop. Mind you this is the pre email era, right at the beginning of the explosion 💥 of the internet. So she called each hotel and left messages with the desk for me to receive upon arrival. As the only black kid on the trip, who was designated as the group “Aborigine,” (Native tribal people of the Australian bush) knowing that I was loved that far away made me feel special and gave me what I needed to not let social and economic factors ruin a trip of a lifetime.
