I love to socialize, meet new people and hang out with old friends and blogging has provided so many opportunityiess for me to do just that. On Friday, I was invited to attend Cupcakes & #Digitini by @BeEverywhere in honor of a long time blogger friend, Ananda Leeke, founder of Digital Sisterhood Network. What an amazing woman. If you've ever had the opportunity to experience her or her work you know what I'm talking about. I've known Ananda since 2005 and guess what, this was the very first time I met her in real life and it was a moment to remember. She has inspired me from afar and when we saw each other it was like seeing an old friend and mentor.Our connection felt like it was long overdue. It's these moments right here that have made blogging the amazing experience it has been for me.

Thanks @BeEverywhere and team for having me, I had a great time! I’m looking forward to connecting again. @omgcupandcakes you made my tastebuds smile. The cupcakes were slamming! Thanks to @Cirocstaratl for serving up a delicious martini  - so good that I had two cups.

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...
