Friday the 13th



Yesterday Friday the 13th,  my sister and I traveled to North Carolina. My daughter gets married on Sunday. It's an exciting time in my life. I am so very grateful to God for this blessing.
Yesterday we flew in to North Carolina. It was so cold and raining. We picked up my dress for the wedding. I had mailed in to Young Cleaners in Concord, NC early because I wanted to make sure it would  be pressed and ready for me when I arrived. I was so pleased with the owner Zelda. She eased my worries and it was a pleasure to meet her after talking to her over the phone several times before I felt sure to mail in my dress. 


After we picked up my dress, we drove to the hotel - Homewood Suites by Hilton in Concord. I had called the night before to request early check in. We had woke up very early to begin our travel day. I was so happy when the room I selected was ready and we were able to get settled in. I texted my daughter to let her know we were here and to let me know the time and place to meet for our nail appointment. Our suite was very nice. Equipped with dishes and plates everything you need for an almost week stay. My sister and I decided to go to the store and buy snacks, water, and things to have in case we got hungry. Some odds and ends. We were at the store when I received the text from my daughter with the information. Yesterday was a wonderful day. We got pedicures and our nails done. I saw my daughter and chatted with her while she got her nails done. We had dinner with her friend whom also flew in from Lehigh. Making new memories. Reconnecting. I was so happy. My sister meet some of her fiance family. My sister was happy as well. After we had dinner with my daughter and her friend, we drove back to the hotel. It was still raining. We got to the hotel and went to bed early before 10pm lol.
I woke this AM at 4:48am and did my Sadhana. Feeling so blessed I wanted to share the amazing first day I had. Today we are off to the mall. My sister has to get her dress and shoes. Hopefully meet up with friends. Making memories. It was funny, all day we were asked if we were twins. I had bought my sister and I the same sweaters to wear. We were twinning yesterday. And everyone said we looked like twins and alike. I reminded me of our childhood. My mom would dress us the same. lol 
Blessed Saturday my loves.

Let's examine what's coming out of our mouth?

Have you ever asked someone how they are doing? Have you ever asked someone how things were going? Have you ever stopped to really listen to what comes out of their mouth?  I know first hand that life can be hard. Things we go through can tear us up into pieces.  Have you ever examine what's coming out of your mouth? Do we complain about anything and everything. Just some food for thought....instead of complaining about the issue...be thankful that whatever it is your facing will make you stronger and wiser.  Remember whatever your going through....is nothing compare to what someone else might be going through.....replace complaining with a  brighter outlook on the situation . I know it can be hard. But remember God knows we can handle whatever it is your facing. And I know that if the complaining stops....you will  Change Your Life !  Why? Because complaining is just another form of being negative. Thinking negative. Therefore if we ...

Sunday Vibes

On Friday, I was officially sent home to self quarantine. The governor issued the order that all fitness centers had to closed state wide. I am going to welcome stillness. Only going out to get my dad's medicine. Yesterday my niece gave me a facial and massage.   My niece Vicky was in shock when she noticed that she had the same birthmark on her foot as I.

We had to mark the moment with a picture. lol I told her she was special cuz she had titi's birthmark. lol Day 2 - today I filled the bird feeders, I definitely want to see my bird friends this week.

Do you love yourself? Have you forgiven yourself?

In the last three years, I've had to learn how to forgive myself in order to truly love myself. Life throws us curve balls.  We all have experience current life events that were traumatic.  We've done things we didn't like.  We've been treated poorly. So many things could have happened.  I will share a little about what happened to me and how I was able to take the advice I am about to share with you and change my life around. I spend a majority of my life blaming others for my unhappiness.  First mistake, I made. I had to take responsibility for my own mistakes.  I was in an abusive relationship for 15 years. I blamed God for not changing my situation. I lived feeling that God must not love me. What happened to me was I developed a mindset that if God didn't love me why should I love myself. My reasoning to this thought was the fact I was mistreated, called names, put down for so many years.....God didn't hear my prayers. It wasn't until I chan...
