Full Circle Moments

Where do I begin?! Y’all, I wish I wasn’t such an emotional person. My daughter keeps telling me it’s just me. Cancer is my zodiac sign, and she swears I exhibit every single trait. Laughing.

On June 1, 2015 (I can’t believe it’s been nine years), I took office as the president-elect of our state’s dietetics association. Today, nine years later, I am assuming that role, again! This is a three-year commitment—president-elect, president, and then past president. Several posts ago, I mentioned that I had left favor on the table. Well, this is one of those favors I was referring too. Y’all, this favor was packed with opportunities. Opportunities that I believe would have gotten me closer to where I had dreamed of being. However, life happened and I didn’t know how to handle both—life and the opportunities. Well, life won.

As they say, everything happens for a reason, and I am beginning to accept the fact that some of those reasons I may never know. Life is funny like that. However, I do know I have been granted a second chance, a do over, and this time I am going to keep going. I have to keep going.


Y’all, when I tell you God is so good and His love is unmatched! Returning to office wasn’t even on my radar. I had given up on that dream. Had written it off as one of those things that had run its course. Now, here I am again, much wiser, more equipped, and better prepared to see this dream come to fruition.

This is my Year50!

Year51 is loading…

Hello June!❤️

June Is Here!

Facebook Memory: June 1, 2021

June is finally here!! As usual, I’m celebrating ALL month long! Might even carry it over into July! I’m pretty sure I’ll celebrate the entire summer when I turn 50. Baby, I’m ready!!! Oh… and just wait til I turn 100!!!! Whew!!💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽

Thought this memory was kind of cute. As you can see, I mentioned that for my 50th birthday I would celebrate the entire summer. Never imagined I would celebrate the entire year. Lol. Now I have to figure out how I’ll celebrate my 100th.

Well, the celebration for Year51 has already begun, and I am enjoying every minute of it.

Wishing you a joyous mouth. Happy June to you!♥️

Timing & Freedom

Timing and freedom, both are so very significant. Trying not to become too emotional, but you already know that’s not going to happen. Y’all, I waited over four years for my freedom (the divorce). Words can’t even describe how I felt when I received the call that the papers were signed. Til this day, I am forever grateful to God for seeing me through. I made it! Can you imagine being stuck in limbo for years?! So glad I made it.

As Marvin Sapp sings— “So if you see me cry, it’s just a sign that I’m still alive. Got some scars, but I’m still alive. In spite of calamity, He still has a plan for me and it’s working for my good and it’s building my testimony.” Hallelujah! I made it!!

Here’s what I shared after I received the news.

Trust God’s timing. It’s absolutely perfect. He’s forever working behind the scenes. Be blessed! Rejoicing

Divinely perfect!

And, I am assuming the post below happened first by the way it’s written and the order in which it showed up in my memories. Y’all, I had no clue of what that day was going to bring. Had no idea God was working behind the scenes. Can’t stop crying. When I tell you God is soooo strategic. It happened at the end of my 45th year, right before I crossed the threshold (June 1st) to begin celebrating entering my 46th year. I keep telling you, I love my birthdays. They are God’s precious gifts. I am truly blessed.

Anyhoo… here’s the other memory. And y’all, it’s Friday again!!

Facebook Memory: May 31, 2019

Happy Friday!! Here’s today’s social media find– a little happy to get you through the weekend.☺️ Stop stressing and follow your dreams. Keep Dreaming

Following my dreams.

Have a blessed day and fabulous weekend.♥️

Love you,

Quick Word From The Wise

Wanted to share a quick word with you. Was sitting here stressing about a small, careless mistake I had made. I guess my son got tired of hearing me and finally said—

“What’s done is done. You can’t change it. You need to move on.”

Point well taken. Moving on. And y’all, it wasn’t even a big mistake, but it could have been had I not caught it in time. However, I did, and it’s time to move on.

Listen, it happened. Now, it’s time to move on.♥️
