Sunday Vibes Day 2 of quarantine My sister and niece came over yesterday to see dad and spend the night. We laughed. We enjoyed time with each other. 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. My sister doesn't have this birthmark. 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. As I sat here to write this blog. I had the doves come by and eat. And also the red cardinal. It's so beautiful outdoors.  Very tranquil. Best moment of the day was my sister, niece, and I did a TikTok...

My children....how I cherish all of the significant moments. I believe this photo was taken in 2010 or 2011. I know I will have all my 3 children together once again for Christmas.  I believe in miracles. This year 2019 has been filled with many significant moments. I will reflect on this in another post. I just wanted to share the importance of each and every significant moment in your life. May you cherish them. May you understand that all is happening for your highest and best good. I am wishing a wonderful Christmas Eve. Light and Love Sat Nam 

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 ...

I love Painting With A Twist - Fort Myers . My aunts came to visit the family. And they had a Sister's Gathering. We had such a wonderful evening. We painted. We sang. We dance. We laughed. And laughed some more. We painted. We made family memories that will forever be cherish in our hearts. Not all of the family could attend. But some of us made it to celebrate with the Golden Girls (my mom and her sisters) - It was on Friday and I normally am off on Fridays but this Friday I had to work. I thought I was going to get there late but I was able to leave work earlier than expected. I am a regular at PWAT and so I arrive and let them know I was there (because IF I would have gotten there late the artist was going to paint my background) but I arrived and was happy I could make it early. When I got there the owner Cynthia handed me a bottle of wine as a token of appreciation for being a regular. I was so thankful. I didn't expect it. I asked if I could get a photo. I truly ...

I am going through my old videos and I came across some wonderful memories that I will cherish forever. My LOVES in one video. I came across this voicemail message from my princess from 2010. Cherished Message. Simple tokens are what a mother cherishes the most. I still have videos without sound of my son playing baseball and baseball. I ask myself, will I be that mother with all her kids tokens so when the grand-kids come over, I will show them those tokens. My answer is yes. My oldest is 29 years old and I still have all his tokens from kindergarten. I am thinking about the holidays and I absolutely love hanging all of my kids Christmas ornaments. I can't be the only one.  Are you that mother? With all your kids school stuff? I still have clothes, bottles, blankets, etc.... I know. I tell myself I will get 3 big containers and put each of my child's things in their own keepsake container. I have been saying that for the last 7 years. I really got to do it th...

Life Make Sure You Have Fun Sister's Trip. Making Memories. Sharing Laughter. Life is suppose to be FUN. Are you taking time to just BE. They say laughter is the BEST medicine. My sisters are probably gonna hurt me for sharing this video clip. We went on a weekend sister's trip and were enjoying some much rest and relaxation. We wanted to do the "Whip and Nae Nae" video. It was hilarious. We laughed so much. Hope you enjoy and have a laugh on us. Have a wonderful day. Sat Nam - Truth is my Essence 

My Mother  How many teenagers blame their mother, father, and even God for their life and everything that happens to them? I will be  very honest, I was one of those teenagers. After first  watching the movie "The Secret",   I realized that blaming my life situations  was keeping me from living my true purpose.   The choices  we make lead us to our path....if we make bad choices  we  will be faced  with tough, rough roads...but if we choose good than we will be in smooth, safe paths. Since becoming spiritually awaken and truly living life in a state of gratitude, I have learn that every lesson is meant for learning, for growth, to guide you into your path towards your life purpose.  NO ONE is responsible for the choices you have made but YOU.   Parents - you should not blame yourself for your children decision. When we begin to take responsibility for your choices, a shift will occur. On Mother's Day, I was able to share ...

Today as I sit here relaxing on this day May 8, 2016 celebrating Mother's Day just BEing. I reflect on memories shared with my children. I am grateful for all three of my children (Benny, Ashley, and Junior) and I wish them best in this world. Today, I share the photo I took with my oldest son on Friday May 6, 2016, so proud of his accomplishments. That is "A Mother's Pride" to see your children happy, healthy, and reaching for their own goals in life. My oldest son graduated from FSW with his Associates in Arts.  As you can see with the smile on my face. I was very proud of him. Happy that I was able to share his moment. I pray that Ashley and Junior will reach their own goals. I want what's best for my kids. I want them to know that they are more than capable of reaching their dreams. It's been four years since I've heard from them on special occasions and I was about to say that's okay but it's not okay. It's not okay to alienate your mot...

As this week began, I received some news that left me shocked, heartbroken, and more determined than ever to share my story and bring awareness to things that are kept in the dark by many.                                                          My Story. I am a mother of three children (pictured above) my oldest son is now 25 years old going on 26 years old and my twins are 18 years old going on 19 years old.  For the last four years since 2012, my twins were alienated from me. They were brainwashed, controlled, and manipulated  because after 15 years in which I was being physically, emotionally, and verbally abused along with being threatened in this distributive marriage.   I lived with a man that was a narcissist and when I left everything was done in their (my ex's family) power to control the situation with...

My mother's birthday celebration was a huge success. Feeling so grateful for everyone who joined us on extra special day. Not only was it my mom's birthday. I took her to  Painting with a Twist in Fort Myers, Florida . Today's painting was in honor of my grandma. My grandma had Alzheimer's and so it was that much special to paint this piece today.  They raised $700.00 what a great cause. Afterwards, we went to eat dinner. Lots of laughter. Making memories to cherish a lifetime.  So thankful for my family. Love them with all my heart. In this photo my cousins, my aunts, my sisters, and the birthday girl my mom with the crown.  Cherish Your Family Now!
