World refill day! 🚰

Whether it’s coffee or wine (for some)

World refill day is the day to recycle ♻️ reuse and reduce.

Have your kids help and save the planet!

True, you can’t pour into to others if you’re running on empty. Not enough people take the time to relax or slow down. I’ll take today off and chill. I’ve been doing it since Memorial Day lol.

But, on the real, let’s get back to normalizing self care and being productive. It can be done alone or as a family or with your spouses.

Some think that napping or being idle is a sign of laziness. So untrue!

If you can, reset and refill. No one can take care of you better than you!

Enjoy your summer! Relax 😎

Have a great Monday fam! 🌺🌵🌴 stay cooollll!!!

Father’s Day

Me and my hubby with our granddaughter 💋

Sunday is the day we celebrate fathers and dads. Happily, my husband is so loving and helpful! He helped me get my second oldest daughter out of high school, my son is getting straight A’s and wants to go to trade school after graduation.

All the accolades don’t matter without one thing; the love of God in you. Numerous of years have went by since I lost my daddy, grandfather and only brother. It happened Father’s Day weekend. They would usually fish for dinner on Saturday and we’d clean and cook for Sunday family dinner. They never came back. We didn’t see them anymore until we viewed them at the funeral. I was five years old.

My daddy 💙

At least I know that they don’t have to worry about this world and dealing with things beyond their control. Celebrating dads everyday everywhere and every kind of dad!

Start with love and end with love. That’s all you need to do. CLG

Spread love this weekend. Life is so short

Have a blessed day and stay safe always! 💐🌺

What fears have you overcome and how?

The things you fear the most are the things you want to control. Some things are beyond our control. Let it go!

ME

I had a fear of water since the age of 5. Big bodies of water; lake, river and sea. I lost my father, brother and grandfather in 1979 Father’s Day. Ever since then, I had decided to avoid swimming and by the water activities. Speed up to today… I joined the Navy at 18 and learned how to float! The fear was somewhat gone. Then, I learned that the fear was in my head. My therapist at the time told me that if you keep away from the thing you fear, you’ll never get over it.

Know I’m not saying confront the abuser or talk the work bully. I’m saying, stop letting things hold you back and keep you in a box. No one wants a relationship with guardrails. Those rails will get ran over eventually!

I can’t tell you how many times I didn’t go to the beach, go to the pool etc. I was stationed in San Diego for heaven sake! I gained the courage to go to Ocean Beach after I had my first daughter. She now loves walking barefoot and loves the beach 🏖️ go figure!

When I took it upon myself to push and grow up, no one understood. Why would you go to the service with a fear of water? Why the Navy? That’s all they do IS water stuff? That was my older sister. Sigh.. I got so sick of answering questions. I left for Orlando Florida August 1992. Ever since then my life has never been better! I gained numerous skills and friends, had a baby and lived somewhere I only read.

I finally went to visit Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. Looking at the lake and trying not to cry, I let that fear go! I’m running 5k and 10k’s some near the lake. I don’t have any plans to go back but when I got convinced that a cruise will help with my fear! I jumped at it! Had a ball and planning another for next year!

In the Bahamas 🇧🇸 it was a dream turned reality! Thx Babe💋

Now that I’m living my best life, I’m not fearful of water! All my kids can swim and now CPR. Summer going good and I’m pool ready!

At Cowabunga Bay chilling 💦🌴

Have a great day! Peace ✌🏾 love and blessings 🌸

Spring is here!

Happy Resurrection Day or Easter 🐣 ✝️

We celebrate the Risen King and the start of all things blooming. We see that there are times where we can’t praise Him or acknowledge Him as we should.

He’s The Lily of the valley

If you go egg hunting and eating ham, remember He got up for you and me!!

Have a great week and love in someone today for He has risen as He said!!!!

(Matthew 28, KJV 2025) 🙌🏾

Awesome news!!

You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do?

First, I’d tell my husband. He always gets the fresh off the press stuff! Secondly, my kids.

I wouldn’t have anyone else to tell. I be learned that speaking loud doesn’t make sense due to the fact that people are haters. They will not always congratulate you for being unique or getting a blessing. Sad to said that people, some of them, don’t have your best interests at heart. Also, what’s worse is family members can stunt your growth too.

Dance like no one is watching!

Instead of not doing this or that, make sure to keep your head up and stay focused! The motto for this season we are in is ‘I’m doing this for 2025’ It can be drinking more water, drying out and getting healthier. It’s not a resolution, it’s a habit to keep and break old ones.

Note: it takes 21 days to make it a habit and 40 days to break it off. Or something like that. As we adjust to the new climate we are in, dedicate yourself to break a habit and create something new!

I’ll try to write more and also will be creating some more content! Might even throw in a workbook or something. I’ll post it with links. Y’all, we can do so much in such a small space of time. Let’s build it up and each other!!!

Until next time fam, peace and blessings 🌺

Celebrating the Year of The Snake! What’s your Chinese Zodiac sign? Drop it in the comments! I’m the year of The Ox! Full throttle vroom vroom!!!
