I was sending out emails last one being sent at 802 pm, I thought to myself I am going to develop good sleep habits for the New Year, so I will get ready for bed. I was about to take my sleep medicine but was too lazy to get up so I just sit in the chair listening to the rain. Little did I know my laziness would someday pay off lol. Had I taken my medication and gone to bed, I literally would have lost my life in my sleep (from smoke inhalation). I had no idea that the building next to me was ablaze, and the apartment over me was completely engulfed in flames! As I was folding my computer and deciding to get in bed, I hear get out of the building there is a fire! My recliner was near the door I jump up with flip flops on and run to the door felt it wasn't hot so I opened it, and when I did I was hit in the face with thick black, smelly smoke! I closed the door and ran in the opposite direction toward my bedroom with my computer still in hand. I thought I would follow my fire plane and jump out the window! when I get in my bedroom I remember everything looking blurry I thought it was my sight without my glasses, but that was not the case it was smoke. I grab my coat jumped in my uniform pant backward and ran to the living room looking for another exit, my balcony was part of my fire plan, but I just didn't plan on jumping with gray smoke and fire falling. I could still hear my neighbor yelling get out!! I ran to the door again, and if I have ever heard the voice of God I heard it on Jan 1, 2021 when I was about to go out the door I heard put your shoes on, which allowed me to stop! and calm myself (not a grand voice just a whisper put your shoes on) holding on to the wall to put my shoes on finally made me realize I still had the computer in my hands so I dropped the computer put my shoes and open the door! That was a miracle #1. I know I can hold my breath for 47 seconds I swim:), so I still hear my neighbor so I thought I will just have to follow her voice, but in all the black smoke I look up at a window over the exit door and I see a gray hand waving to me to come out!! so I followed my neighbor's voice, jumped down the few steps! had I not seen what I thought was her hand I would have been frozen stiff! turns out she was outside of the exit door yelling but she was much to short for it to be her hand Miracle # 2, makes me shiver just to think about it!! had I not had on shoes, I might have had 2 broken ankles or landed on the wet pavement, had I not seen the hand I would have been frozen stiff! it was such an awful fire it looked like a red cross commercial you know the one (pouring rain raging fire) and the red cross there in the midst of it all. The fire raged from 830 pm until close to 11 pm even in the pouring rain. 63 to 65 off use lost our apartment homes that night, but there was not one life lost! There was a terrible accident, I believe a person had a heart attack and hit another car during all of this. At 11 the fire was still going on but under control thanks to the Oxon Hill fire department, Andrews Airbase fire department, and Alexandria Va fire department!, I was told that over 100 fire persons were working to put it out and I am thankful! without them, it would have been worse. At around 11 pm that night we all met in the recreation room and the red cross was there just like in the commercial. They handed out water and snacks and blankets. They interviewed us and made sure we had lodging for the next three nights although I have insurance that night I was so exhausted it was so nice not having to find a hotel, especially on a rainy night. We stayed at the Comfort Inn on Oxon Hill rd, check-in was so easy (remember everyone did not have time to get their wallet ie., Id or car keys and we were not allowed to go into the apartment that night to unsafe. So having the Red Cross pave the way was Miracle #3 I truly felt wounded. The lead Red Cross coordinator met us at the hotel, and arrange breakfast for the next morning! The next day we got a call telling us, lunch was ready for pick up and dinner was a very nice hot meal. Surprising how much you take for granted, I lost my very expensive progressives and was having a hard time seeing at night the Red Cross sent me a voucher to get glasses! All they did was without asking for anything in return. Readers we are living during a pandemic and all other types of emergencies and the one thing that is consistent in this world is that the Red Cross will always rise to the occasion! I depended on them in the Army to keep me connected to my family. That was in the 80s' and now in 2021, they are still a very relevant part of our society! If you want to make sure your donated dollars are put to good use you can not go wrong with the Red Cross, until next review; glad to be alive, to review, VJ

I applied for a position as a Fulfillment Specialist with this company via Indeed.com. I figured since I patroned the company and sew often, it would be a good side gig with the treat of looming government shutdown and layoffs occurring in my full time job. I had an initial interview with an Indeed rep. When asked about standing for long periods of time to cut fabric, I stated that I have adapted by learning to cut fabric while sitting when standing is uncomfortable. My response was acceptable enough to move to the next interview phase with the owner but, hours before my scheduled interview with the owner, I received a cancellation notice. The owner said that the job requires standing and walking and she doesn't think I'm capable. However, she hasn't the slightest idea of my capabilities. Ironically, I was cutting fabric at home when I received the cancellation message. Seems like disability discrimination and I'm currently considering my legal options because this type of treatment should not exist. To assume I am not capable is just wrong and disrespectful but I suppose thats what I get for being DEI. I won't be doing business with them ever again. This is not an equal opportunity employer. read more

HOWEVER, while the establishment and materials were of quality, the owner/host was did not have that every this particular night. I am not sure if it was just a bad night for her on because it was a Tuesday (when she's usually closed) that made her have a bad attitude. Our guest arrived 15-20 minutes in advance and while the start time was not until 7:00pm, she was very snappy with turning our guest away and telling the the event did not begin until 7:00. Her demeanor was not inviting nor friendly. They waited in the car and did not feel comfortable entering until the birthday girl arrived. At 7:00 when we entered, while we were all in a good mood, we felt like we were walking on egg shells when it came to using her materials or asking questions. We couldn't grab our own choices of doormats. She said this was her policy, but how she convert that was of poor taste. Again it wasn't what she said, but how she said it. I will be honest and say tried to fix her attitude during the explanation of directions, however we could feel her irritation. Her communications and expectations were not properly communicated. Hence why she was annoyed by how we were using the paint... not to her liking. You were to put it ON the doormat, NOT on the table paper. She never said that. We all have bad days, but in a business where hospitality and a welcoming demeanor is necessary to keep your customers coming back or making referrals, that energy needs to be minimized as much as possible. She didn't say we had done anything and even the birthday girl's mother-in-law said she think she just had a bad day. I gave her four stars because our doormats came out great. Also while she attempted to change the trajectory of her attitude and we ultimately had to make our experience what it was and for the most part we all enjoyed eachother. I'll likely be back, because I believe in supporting Black Women always. I pray my experience when I go back with other is better. I believe in her.

But you get used to it after awhile because depending on the size of the class, you could end up jumping 6-8 times. Toward the end I was getting really tired and my arms were feeling like jello and wanted to give out. When you go for the swinging catch you really have to stretch your body and reach for the other person. Unfortunately, I didn't make the connection but with a few more sessions I feel that will be the natural next step. It's exhilarating and you leave feeling like a bad ass. BEGINNER SILKS CLASS This class was a lot harder than it looks - it does require some upper body strength, hand grip and balance. The instructor was very encouraging and demonstrated each move step by step. I only took one class but I'd be interesting in taking a series once it gets a little warmer out. I would recommend wearing long sleeves and pants because your body will rub with a lot of friction against the silks. I'm excited to continue to take both classes again and some of their additional unique offerings like the lyra (aerial hoop), trampoline and maybe even juggling classes!

Beginner Trapeze Class…read more If you've ever wanted to fly through the air with the greatest of ease (and a safety harness), this is the place. I signed up for the beginner trapeze class, and let me tell you, "beginner" here does not mean "everyone's brand new." Most of the class clearly had been before, which at first was a little intimidating... but the vibe? Supportive. There are three instructors, each strategically posted like trapeze guardian angels: one up top, one on the ground, one mid-zone to help you through the process. They give you the info you need, then give you space to actually process it--not just bark orders. It's a smart balance of guidance and "you got this." I'll be honest: standing up on that platform is terrifying at first. But between the calm coaching and the cheering from classmates, you find your footing (literally). And once you take that leap, you get why people keep coming back. The environment is fun, well-run, and just the right amount of challenge. If you're looking to shake up your routine, face a fear, or just have a story that will blow "I went to brunch" out of the water--this is it. Highly recommend.
