Good Morning World! I'm not the biggest television person and especially not into the latest reality but not so reality shows, so I'm probably very late when talking about this. On MTV, I noticed there is a show called the One that is currently casting. The concept is this. Basically, they are taking singles and putting them in a house to interact with each other old school. Meaning without social media, texting, etc. I thought great concept! This is the kicker though. They are casting children. Well, maybe they are not technically children. They are adults 21-24. Now I don't know about you but who had problems finding the one in that age range? Also, how many people are looking for the one as soon as you're able to legally drink? But then again maybe I'm a little jaded because while I'm a member of the big 3-0 club along with many exceptional women and men in the same predicament I would think this would be more a target. I mean who wants to see another sho...

Hey My People, I just want to share a few things with you.  I have been on this spiritual journey and working to strengthen my relationship with GOD.  In doing that I have been reading the Bible, applying these teachings to my life, more prayer and taking time to listen.  This morning I started a Four day Devotional on the book of Ruth and I wanted to share a few of my thoughts with you. This entire Chapter 1 is significant for me in some many ways and I am able to apply these principles in my own life. In this first chapter is shows Naomi and her husband leaving a place that was not producing for another place. Whether this was a good move we will never know. However in the process it seems as though they went about their lives and when Naomi's husband died she continued.  As Naomi's children became men and took wives from this surrogate land they still existed until the sons also perished. It does not say how the sons died. However, I can only imagine there w...

Good Morning! I want to share something I shared on Facebook the other day.  It's a new year.  It's 2014 BABY!!  Whoo HOO!!!  I would say that its a new year and that it is a new me but no I like this better...."It's a Better Year and It's a Better Me." So without further ado let me share my thoughts prior to the end of the year and after.  December 27, 2013:  Up early on this Sunday morning reflecting over this year and life. I have come to another point where I realize I constantly evolve and it doesn't require some life altering event to occur. In the upcoming days, I have a list of things I ... will complete to end this year on a good note, goals to carryover into 2014 to improve upon and people, worries and simply dead weight that will be purged forever. This year I've made some mistakes, learned a couple valuable lessons and realized some things ARE important to me. I have loved unconditionally, realized I am strong in new areas chal...

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.    N...

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 w...

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 all...

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 frie...
