I Need a Good Show to Binge Watch

Just waking up from a long, well-deserved nap. Looking for something binge worthy to watch. And when I say binge, I mean without taking more than an hour or two break—besides falling asleep in the middle of episodes—before finishing the series or current season. The last show I binged watched was Lupin Season 3. Good thing the season was short (only 7 episodes) because I was still in school. However, now that I am on break, I want to binge watch something. I need to feel like I am actually on a break. You know, like a kid again. Laughing

The shows I typically binge are thrillers, mysteries, sci-fi, and drama. Not too big on romance or crime shows unless they include at least one of the others. Right now I am waiting for Virgin River and Bridgerton to return, which should be soon.

Anyhoo…If I cannot find anything to binge watch, I will watch a few Christmas movies. Been trying to hold off on those until Thanksgiving. It’s just something about watching Christmas movies on Thanksgiving day that sets the mood for the entire holiday season. Watching them before Thanksgiving just isn’t the same.

Well, this is how I plan to spend my weekend and Thanksgiving break.

Enjoy your weekend!♥️

Any suggestions? I also have access to Hulu and Disney+. AppleTV too but there’s never anything binge worthy on it. I watch TUBI for old shows from the 70’s and 80’s.

Be Inspired

This week I have been seeing and hearing “Be inspired!” everywhere. Little did I know I would see it again this morning. Life is so very interesting. Can’t help but love it. Smiling

Facebook Memory: November 18, 2022

Today’s a new day! Be inspired to do, create, build or try something new. I love y’all!♥️

The message speaks for itself—Be inspired!

Last year, when I shared this message on my other Facebook page, I added the following:

Be inspired to do that thing you’ve been wanting to do but been too afraid to do.😘

Hmmm…

Well, that’s it. That’s the message. I pray you have an amazing weekend!

Love you!♥️

Feeling Inspired

Just finished watching Maxine’s Baby: The Tyler Perry Story. Had to take a few breaks because I kept crying. Still crying. Y’all know I’m emotional.

Soooo…where do I begin?

First, I would like to thank God for giving us Tyler Perry. God knew what we needed long before we existed. He knew we would need someone to see us, represent us, and honor us for who we truly are. Someone to make us laugh when we feel like crying. Someone to encourage us when we feel like giving up. Someone to inspire us to dream dreams larger than life. Yes, He gave us Tyler.

Secondly, I would like to thank Tyler’s beautiful mother, the late Mrs. Willie Maxine Perry, for birthing and raising such a brilliant son. From a mother’s perspective, Tyler represents everything we’ve ever dreamed for our babies and more. What a blessing!

I would also like to thank Gelila Bekele and Armani Ortiz for sharing Tyler’s story with the world. This documentary was so beautifully done. I’m still crying. His story needed to be shared and at this time. Timing is everything.

Lastly, I would like to thank Mr. Tyler Perry for being Tyler Perry. For being his true, authentic self. There’s never been anyone like him before now, and there will never be another after he’s gone, which I pray is many decades from now. Wishing him much love, success, and many, many more blessings throughout his lifetime.

I am inspired.♥️

Something Wonderful is About to Happen

Shared this message several years in a row and decided to switch it up this morning. Well, since I cannot think of anything else to share for my second post I may as well stick with the routine.

Facebook Memory: November 16, 2022

Expect the unexpected! Something wonderful is about to happen.♥️

Fix your mindset to believe the unexpected will always be something wonderful.

Are You Living in Your Worth?

Yes…I am! Another level of freedom.

Shared this on this date two years ago (November 15, 2021). At the time, I was really struggling with feeling worthy. I kept saying I was worthy of God’s best, but didn’t necessarily believe it; or rather, I believed it in certain aspects of my life. In other areas, I still felt I needed others’ approval to be deemed worthy.

When I tell y’all I am so grateful for God’s love, grace and patience. Over and over, He kept showing me that I was worthy of everything imaginable, but I couldn’t see it.

Then Year50 hit! Baby, when I said I refused to spend the next 50+ years like I had the last 50, something changed. It was like God said, “I can work with this!” I am so grateful He did not give up on me. Now, I don’t care who doesn’t approve of what I do or how I do it. This is my life, and I only have one. I’m finally living in my truth and I am loving every minute of it. God says I’m worthy and free to do so, so guess what—I’m doing it!

Loving and living life my way.♥️

This is my Year50

Take the Leap

Facebook Memory: November 15, 2022

A few years ago, I shared this quote – “Fear is only temporary. Regret lasts forever.” I’m not sure if regret lasts forever; however, I do know fear is only temporary.

Your vision is clear. Don’t allow fear to stop you from fulfilling your purpose. Do it afraid!♥️

As Nike says—Just Do It!

Lately, my messages from last year have been much needed messages for today. Seems like whatever I post in the morning is needed sometime during the same day. I guess it’s God’s way of preparing me for what’s to come. Today’s message is, “Do it afraid.” Well, whatever “it” is, I am going to do it. Yep…I am going to do it afraid. Whew!! Gotta remember God’s got me.

I pray you have a wonderful Wednesday. Listen, take that leap that frightens you the most. God’s got you. He will not let you fail.

Be Blessed!♥️

Never Settle for Less Part 2: Discipline

Found this gem this morning while searching X (Twitter) for the post I shared earlier. Thought it would be a great follow up post.

Discipline.

Are you disciplined enough to wait?

Here’s what I shared two years ago:

I’m not going to lie. Some days I am not sure if I am disciplined enough to wait. These past two years have really tested my tenacity. I know I cannot go back to what was. I refuse to do that. Don’t even have a desire to. However, I feel like I am in a boat paddling but getting nowhere; and honestly, I am tired.

A friend just sent me a job offer, but it’s not what I want to do. Of course I could accept it, but I know I wouldn’t stay. Then there’s this contract I am waiting to start. It’s one that I am really looking forward to because it is aligned with everything I want to do, but it keeps getting pushed back.

Am I disciplined enough to wait for what I want most?

Only God knows; however, at this moment, I refuse to settle. Until God says to do otherwise, I am going to be still and trust His timing. The contract has already been approved. All I have to do is be patient and wait. Y’all pray for me because if it’s pushed back again I don’t know what I’m going to do.🙏🏽
