This morning I woke up to the lovely sound of the beautiful sea. The waves were beating ever so gently on the shore. The Seagulls were busy up above and the sun was out saying hello. This is a typical days beginning here at our families beach house. We visit our beach house at least twice a year and spend anywhere from a month to two months at a time. This has always been a dream of mine and now I’m living out that dream. One of my reasons for wanting to own my own beach house was because I love the ocean. Sometimes early in the morning before anyone else is awake I put on one of my free flowing long skirts, halter top, cute head-tie, and walk down to the water. At the water I am at peace. I sing, I dance, I pray, I meditate and I see the things to come... Did you enjoy my early morning manifestation story? I know I did! I make it a priority to write one of these stories before I start my day. I keep it in a journal that I call, My Life’s Creation. I'm deliberately creati

Somebody pinch me because I swear I have died and gone back to my original place…LOL!! Jeju is an amazing getaway place for all to experience peace and bliss!! Pronounced, Je (Zhey) Ju (Zhu), it is a Bath House where healing begins and never ends . This was my first time going to JeJu, Home of Well Being and it will definitely not be my last. I enjoyed myself (maybe a little too much ;-) so much that I didn’t want to leave. But the amazing thing is that it’s opened 24 hrs of the day seven day a week so you don’t have to leave until you are good and ready, until you’re done getting all that your body can take. When I first arrived I was given my locker keys, one for my shoes and the other for my clothes. When I walked into the ladies locker room I was pleasantly greeted by two Asian women who guided me to my locker and waited for me to put my things away. Hold up, let me rewind…when I walked in to the ladies locker room I was hit by the jolting energy that sparked through my bod

We had a blast Saturday morning at Doughnuts and Dinosaurs, thanks to Everywhere and Georgia Public Broadcasting . We were invited to be amongst the first to view the new Jim Henson show, Dinosaur Train ! Dinosaur Train is a new t.v. show that will be airing Monday – Friday on PBS kids. The series is scheduled to begin on September 7th at 8am. Make sure you and your kids hop on aboard the Dinosaur train because you’ll be in for a real treat. We absolutely fell in love with the characters, the lessons and the positive messages that surrounds their adventures! The show stars a character by the name of Buddy, who is a funny, curious and intelligent T-Rex. Your kids will love to take adventures with Buddy as he explores and makes his discovery’s with the help of his Mom and Dad, the Conductor and the new Dinosaurs he meets on the train along the way. Buddy’s siblings are Don, Shiny and Tiny who are very close with their Mom and Dad which teaches our children the importa

Saturday night hubby and I attended the DUB Car Show Tour in Hotlanta and it was off the chain!! We got in free, thanks to hubby’s company being one of the top sponsors of the event. I love the perks. He loves cars so to him this was a treat! It was especially fun for just me and him to be out without the kiddies who were at home with Grandma. Gotta love grown up time! Ludacris was there performing with some of his artists, he and his crew tore up the event! I’ve been playing catch up ever since Saturday because after the show we went out and partied until the early morning…you know how we get down. I’m still feeling the after shocks…LOL! Sunday we took our babies to see G.I Joe and they loved it, we all did. Monday I had a busy day at home and hubby had just the same at work but holding on to the sweet and yummy memories of the weekend got us by just fine. We (or should I say hubby) took lots of pics of the show and our night after, you’ll see why we didn’t want it to end! (The

I love to curl up and read a good book, especially when that book is filled with poems! A little while ago I was asked to do just that and I am so thankful that I said yes to the opportunity and that’s how I met Patricia Neely-Dorsey. This beautiful women appeared in my inbox with a sweet and gentle request that I couldn’t pass up. She has written a book of life in poems that will absolutely take your breath away! The name of the book is, Reflections of A Mississippi Magnolia. From the moment I started reading the Foreword I was hooked and couldn’t put it down. I  wanted more of this lady packaged in this sweet book of poems. In Patricia’s own words she says, “I always hesitate to call myself a poet. I feel more like a vessel or a conduit through which the poems flow. I never intentionally sat down to write any of them. They all came to me, fully complete and neatly packaged, title and all.” Her heart and passion for her work shows in every word and puts you in a place of being ri

I’m taking a pause in between my Bond of Sisterhood posts to share a video that hubby created a few years ago when it was just the 6 of us. He’ll have to create an updated version to include little Joshy. I’m taking a pause so that I can stop and celebrate what has given me so much joy through the many life lessons I’ve had to learn and through the pains of stretching myself to grow into the Womyn that I am today. Through each stage we’ve been blessed with incredible children who has shown us in so many ways what life is really about: love, family, friendship, hope, joy, accomplishments, celebrations and stopping to smell the roses. Through the rough spots they have been there, smiling right back at us to remind us of one of the greatest accomplishments and successes that anyone can enjoy which is simply creating life itself. Celebrate with me as you watch this video of my family. (I’m on my way to the IKEA store in downtown ATL with my Mom. She spotted some good sales on kitche

  I want to make sure that you guys understand that I don’t have a problem with my husband being the boss man as I talked about it in part 1, shoot….boss man means boss money and there ain’t nothing wrong with that! I understand that it doesn’t matter what the position either, if it pays the bills than that’s all that matters. I want to start off with our pattern and how it affected everything. You remember I talked about complaining?, well hubby would listen and basically drop everything (which he’ll still do today, just differently now) to come to my rescue to the point where he would leave his job to come home and begin a business just to have more time with his family. Let me clarify a little….he didn’t always leave because of my complaining he really and truly felt burdened by the business, the many long hours and him not being able to spend time with his family like he would have wanted to. He’s a true family man at heart and the business (car business) was beginning to wear

I really wish that I knew more about this…but as time goes on, I’m beginning to learn…. Towards the end of last week I was beginning to become unwrapped from all of the pressure of having to be there for my children’s emotional issues about missing their Daddy. It was a lot to manage on top of me dealing with my own feelings of missing him and trying to find my groove. I’ve been a stay at home mom for 11 years now, and counting. There were times when I didn’t want to stay at home. I now realize it’s because I didn’t have the courage and confidence in myself as a stay at home Mom. Yes, I know….shocking right? It may look like I’ve always had it together and at times I did but there have definitely been seasons where I saw my worse. And in those times I didn’t have girlfriends to turn to and get help from, giving me their motherly and sisterly love. In fact, I didn’t want it because I didn’t trust another women to be there for me. I’ve had glimpses of trust and feeling what it was
