It's that Time of the Year!!!

It's that time of the year again. Last year, I was in the hospital getting surgery under my neck. I was in the hospital for so long that when I got out-it was time to celebrate Christmas. I want to wish everyone a Happy Holidays this year. I hope that you are able to visit and cherish time with dear friends and family. Life is to be enjoyed and why not enjoy it with people who love you and you love them. I am looking forward to spending quality time with my family and I will be enjoying time with my sister and cousins as we do some fun activities in the city this year. Happy Holidays and Stay Warm~

The Babies have Grown Up!!

My niece has finally turned 21 and what a blessing. We spent her birthday at Logan's Steakhouse. My younger brother will be 24 in December and my nephew turned 23 in July. Where does the time go and it takes no time for them to grow up. They were my three babies and now they are all grown.

 

Living!!

Life is so precious that we often do not take out the time to enjoy it or the people around us. In this day and age, no one has time for anything anymore. The world has changed a lot. I have started to view my life a bit different now. I am living and being grateful which changes how I feel and act towards things, people and situations. I have decided to smile and enjoy my life regardless of what is going on around. You only get one life to live, so enjoy the only one you got. Stop hiding behind computers and staying cooped up inside, get out there and do things that you have never done before, make new friends, become involved in your neighborhood-just do something that will impact your life as well as the life of others. Be a good service to others and you will indeed find the true meaning of living an abundant life.

Life is Good!!

Life is so good-life is what you make it. I have been so busy lately with purchasing a house and making handbags that I haven't had the time to do what I really love and that is motivate. I was a little stressed during the home-buying process and I had no motivation. I decided to leave it in the hands of God and He is working miracles. Some times, you have to let go and let God. He is the deliver and He will deliver you from whatever you desire to be delivered from. I needed deliverance from stress and stressful situations and He delivered me. I know we live in a world where people think they have all the answers for everything in life, but no one does. It takes living life and experiencing both the good and bad that comes along with it. It all buckles down to how you react to things, you can let things bother you or you can overcome things and let it flow pass you. Nothing is worth you losing yourself over. I have so many great things happening in my life that I would rather focus on those things than the things that mean nothing to me. God is God all the time and I really say "Let Go and Let God".

Grateful!!

I am so blessed to have such wonderful little people in my life. This weekend I got a chance to spend time with all my nieces and nephew and my baby brother and they are all adults now. It has been interesting and amazing watching them grow up. I wish them all the best in their lives and I always say, make sure to take out time with those you love.

Family Vacation 2014-Hilton Head

Family Vacation is so important to my family. We go to Hilton Head, SC every year for our family vacation. We stay in Palmetto Dunes and we spend time in Savannah, Ga while we are down there. We look forward to spending time together and just relaxing. We enjoy the time we spend together and even though sometimes family can get on your last nerve, they are still family and you still love them no matter what. Vacation are very important and the average person needs to take at least four vacations a year. I think we sometimes only take one a year and wonder why we feel exhausted and depleted all the time and it is mostly because people do not take time to relax and get away from the everyday hustle. You have to have time to rejuvenate and motivate yourself so you can be the best you, but you also need to give yourself time to get away. Take a vacation.

Love My Mom!!

I am a wishing all mothers a wonderful Mother's Day. I would like to send out a special shout out to my mom, who always smiles, always nice and always kind to everyone. I pray to be like her each day. I value my relationship with my mom and I hope that other daughters experience the same kind of relationship with their moms. You only get one mother and without her, you would not exist. Thank your mother for all she has done and in return do something kind for her.

Wonderful Life!!

Life is wonderful if you want for it to be. I am looking forward to going away for a while so that I can enjoy life. I like to take vacations with my family and it is that time of year again.

Change Your Life!!

I often find myself daydreaming a lot about what is in store for my future and I find myself changing my thoughts each day. One day, I want a simple life and the next day, I want something exhilarating. I have found that my life is changeable and so is yours. You make your life whatever you want for it to be. It starts with a thought and then it progressing into what you have been thinking about. If you focus on what you want and line your thoughts with what you believe, you should be able to achieve want you desire. I am not saying that you should not put in work to have what you desire, I am saying that in order for the desire to come to past, your thoughts and beliefs must match the actions that you take to make the changes needed in your life to gain the desire that you want from it. This is your life and you only get one-so live your best life now!!!

Dogwood Festival 2014

I love Spring time in Atlanta-there is so much to do and so many festivals to attend. My favorite is the Dogwood festival. I love it and so does my mom and we make sure that we are in attendance each year. It is sort of a tradition that is the start of Spring for me. I love the city and the beauty of the city of Atlanta. Take some time out to enjoy your city and spend time with people you enjoy to spend time with and life will be much better. Enjoy Spring~
