Returning To Pleasure

By -
Looks like I shot my arrow too short and now I'm expanding once again. This year I decided to return to one of my pleasures in the form of my love for reading books. It was a love that I had set aside for many years while I was beautifully, barefoot and pregnant. (Definitely not an insulting term to me...I enjoyed it thoroughly). I would read magazines, things online but having a book in my hand, feeling the pages beneath my fingers, curling up under a blanket with my book was a big turn on for me.

During my younger years my face was always buried in a book. When I wasn't busying myself getting into other things like putting on dance shows, playing touch football, relay racing, riding my bike, playing basketball, running track, cheer-leading (yep, tried that for a little), one of my favorite down times was to read a book. One of my favorite book series was The Baby-Sitters Club, do ya'll remember that? I'm so pleased that our kids have taken up that same love and enjoy reading all the time.

I set my reading goal to read 5 books this year and I've already completed 4 to my surprise, so I'm raising that number. I don't know to what yet but just the fact that I can feels good. I'm currently reading Eat Pray Love with a book club and I'm enjoying this book so far. Have ya'll read it? Did you like it or not?

    Nekky ~ it is a good book. I haven't finished it as yet, will soon. It's a lot of highs and lows...be prepared for the lows. Elizabeth's story is very inspiring for women who can relate to ever being depressed, confused and lost about their life. Thanks for stopping by.

    I had the book before the movie came out and I couldn't really get into it. However once the movie came out, I absolutely loved it, so much that I saw it 3 times. I wanted more details than the movie gave so I went back and read the book. I love both the book and movie. It was inspiring!

    Monique ~ After Italy it slowed down for me quite a bit. I had to keep pushing myself and I guess it helped that I was reading it with others. I have to say I enjoyed the movie but the book was way better!

My Monday Morning Started At 11:00PM...Last Night!

We had to take little j. to the Doctor this morning because last night he didn't sleep good and neither did we. He kept crying and crying and wouldn't stop. We were completely thrown because he had such a good day. Could it be: 1. He's teething and it's bothering him? Yes, but a little baby Orajel and infants Tylenol should have done the trick. It didn't. 2. I ate something that didn't agree with him? Of course we couldn't come up with anything. 3. He was just so tired from everything we did yesterday and it was hard for him to fall asleep? Maybe. 4. He got bit by a bug and we didn't know? We checked all over, no bites. We even checked to see if there was a piece of hair wrapped around his little fingers and toes. None! 5. Because he's teething he could have an ear infection? Yes very possible but he didn't show the usual signs: fever, pulling at his ears (that looked like it was out of the norm for him because it's something he does often...

Inspired To Write...

The other day a friend of mine asked me, where have you been? She then proceeded to say, it's like you fell off the face of the earth. I laughed and said, "no, I've actually fallen onto the face of the earth". Girl, thanks for that little laugh, I appreciated the moment :) I've fallen onto the face of the earth and bumped right into my family, friends (old and new), business partners, business meetings, social gatherings, moms meetings, and so many activities for the kids, life has been busy. My natural journey has opened so many doors, talk about beautiful women. Sistah's who have inspired me to keep going and stay focused on the end result rather than the transitioning stage. These days I mostly wear my hair in a ponytail-bun. I don't have time to get all fancy, but when I can I'll do a two-strand twist style and use my latest product discovery, Oyin Handmade . They are very reasonable and the products smell so good. If it's one thing I...
