Hello World! I'm probably writing this to myself and I'm completely fine with that. It's been a minute since I've published an entry but I wanted to get a few things off my brain and share a few emotions with you.  So you can get a sense of how relaxed I am right now let me set the mood.  Imagine that you are in a plush, five star hotel room.  Much like this one.  You are lying in your complimentary monogrammed robe in a king size bed complete with an excess of heavenly white, downed pillows and oversized bedding complete with sheets that feel better than the highest thread count of Egyptian cotton.      You are free from worry or obligation today.  It's your day off, there are no kids in sight.  The Blackberry is off.  The only sound is the quiet hum of the air and heating unit and occasionally breeze against the window allowing you to peer into the city.    Now that you have the visual you can only imagine the feeling of euphoria that I experienc

I posted this the other day on Facebook and decided I would share with those that are not on my private page. Mental illness is real folks. I could express my opinion on these things in terms of spiritual warfare however, I just want to stress recognizing the warning signs, getting help when you need it and finding peace in the midst of adversity. If you lose your house, car, relationships, LET IT GO!!! It is not worth losing your mind. It is not worth hurting yourself or someone else. You are Loved.  Also, life is meant to be experienced. There will be amazing highs and gut wrenching lows for EVERYONE. We will lose people we love, things, opportunities but we will gain experience and hopefully wisdom, new opportunities, have more relationships, make more memories and get more things. If you are crumbling to the point of no return talk to someone and get help and if any of you see any one crumbling reach out, talk and ultimately Get Them Help....  #BEBLESSED I wrote this with the i

So, I had a birthday this week.  There was not an extravagant party surrounded by loved ones or me living out a dream of lounging on an exotic island surrounded by muscle bound men.  I was surrounded by work.  Ha-Ha.  However, I did receive a plethora of love from friends and family on my day and the highlight included a micro mini trip days prior to Atlanta, Georgia with much to do and soooo little time.  I had a good time and returned to with a feeling of appreciation and reflection.  One thing worth mentioning is that I am Thankful.  I am thankful that GOD gave me another day to get it right.  That I have another day to live out my dreams, purpose and God-given destiny.  I look over my life and boy has it been an interesting road.  To have been born in a time of opportunity to people and family that may not have had everything but instilled in me hard work, to never give up on my dreams and never allow anyone to kill your dreams.  To be rooted in faith, hope and the promises of God.

Hello World! I am less than a month away from another birthday and it hit me.  I have not been on vacation this year and frankly I have less than six months to correct this grave oversight on my part.  For those that know me, eye brows are raised and a looks of confusion are on many faces.  However, it is not the end of the world.  I am alive, in very good health and more than capable of turning things around as soon as possible.  First off, let me introduce myself.  Well, in terms of social networking introduction.  Let's just say for the sake of staying with the theme of all this, I'm Curly Girl.  I LOVE life with all it's trials and Fantabulous moments, family, travel, food, art & culture, spirituality, books and music.  Be prepared to see much of this.  Usually I am a fiercely private person, with an average lifestyle and would NEVER in a million years open myself up to total strangers.  I have friends that know less than you right now.  What has changed you a
