Lately I’ve been finding myself riding in the car without the radio playing. I’ll be far entrenched in my thoughts before I realize that I am riding in silence and at that point I choose to let my thoughts supercede the noise of the radio.

As I was riding alone today in silence it hit me how extremely blessed I am. While my life isn’t perfect, I have finally reached a point in my life where I want for nothing and that statement has absolutely nothing to do with material things. I briefly flashed back to very hard times in my life when I was pretty sure that God had left me dangling but I held on to my faith because that was my only connection to something good when everything around me seemed to be going wrong.

I’ve told some of my story here,  you think you know but you have NO idea. If God can bring me from a place of sorrow and darkness into a place of abundance and light He can do the same for you.

I’m in my feelings this evening. Can’t you tell! Keep trusting. He is faithful….If anybody knows, I know. Just make sure you are giving Him something to work with!

Randoms…Moving Edition

Happy Friday!

I’ve been MIA for good reason. We finally closed on our new house, packed up our old house, moved and closed on our old house. So much testimony service in those processes that I will be back to tell the stories in depth. However, for now that’s all I have for you.

Moving

Out of the gate we have some major superficial issues with the house. The house got a gleaming rating during its inspection, so I’m keeping my sanity holding on to that. The issues we are facing are interior… I know.

End of Year Pleasantries

I just went back and read my blog posts from this time last year and it literally feels like this year flew by. I mean flew like a G6. Gone like Justin Timberlake.

This year went exceptionally well for me. I never take these things for granted, and in the past when my mind would wander in negative places I would think a good year was simply a setup for a bad one. Thank goodness for growth because I am looking at 2012 as only a small snippet of what is to come in 2013.

There have been mistakes and mishaps just as there has been good decisions and blessings. I take the good with the bad and I am ready for the new year. Sometime between now and the end of the week I will sit down with some of my old magazines…I mean old cause y’all know how I am about my beloved mailed publications and make me vision board. I have never done one so I am anxious to put those jumblings in my mind onto something visually creative to refer to during the year.

My major goals for the new year are:

To get moved into our new home

Seriously grow my blog

Start a new business ( it is in the workings…I’ll tell you in the new year)

Complete some major dental work that I have been putting off because I’m scared

Live in the moment and enjoy my life…This one trumps every.thang. EVERYTHANG!

I hope your end of the year is going well and your plans are well under the way so that you can hit the ground running. I have been scarce around these parts for the past few weeks and it is likely I will not be around to your blogs or on social media for the remainder of the year…lies.

I just want you to know that I appreciate all of you for stopping by here, interacting with me on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. For taking out the time to type in comments and show concern and love when its needed. I take none of these things for granted and you all are appreciated. I wish you a Merry Christmas. I will see you guys in the New Year!!

Milestones Weekend

Weekend Wrap Up and Goings On

Well hey there

Last week, I took a breather of sorts. Laid low and worked on my game plan so Mimi sightings were scarce on the interwebs.

This past weekend was easy like Sunday morning. A kiddie birthday party, a trip to the Goodwill, some food on the grill and that was about as wild and crazy as it got over here.

I got a chance to catch up with a few awesome ladies that I went to college with at the birthday party. One of these beautiful young ladies is the National Press Secretary for the Democratic National Committee. #OBAMA2012…FAMU baby.

Now for some randomness…

Call me the Sgt.  around these parts. I got that potty bootcamp jumping. Two weeks ago I sent out an APB on Twitter for tips on potty training and overwhelmingly people said they employed the bootcamp method. I was apprehensive…VERY. I decided to give it a try and wouldn’t you know this baby is pretty much potty trained. I put panties on her and we spent most of our time outdoors. She watered the concrete, the grass, her shoes, and her car..ick.

Should say Glitter and Go Pee Pee..That bleach commercial about the little boy using the potty and the look on the mother's face..yeah. that.

Two days later she started saying I pee pee on the pot and I would rush her to the pot and she would go. No more than one accident a day at this point.*blows horns* I’m not sure I’m ready to take her out without some reinforcement so I put some of those plastic panties over her regular ones but she will still tell me. Still in diapers at night. Need more detailed tips? Get at me.

Well that was long.

Next.

May 6-11 I will be in Miami taking a week long course to finally finish up my MBA program. I finished my coursework a year ago but I have to complete this class to get my degree and since I am on the hunt for an online teaching job I needed to get this done ASAP. I’m excited about my new possibilities and opportunities….and a week alone in Miami..on the beach.

Divinitee is doing well. THANK YOU SO MUCH for all of you who read this blog and have supported. OMG. Everytime I see one of your orders in the inbox I want to cry. You all have been so tremendously supportive, more so than people I know in real life. I can never say thank you enough but to let you know that if you need anything please let me help. If I can’t, I’ll try my best to find someone in my circle who can. Real talk.

I have been shopping..ALOT. At thrift and consignment stores of course. Hopefully I can get a video up sometime this week. I’ve gotten some pretty amazing stuff for very few coins. I’ll make y’all some believers.

I guess that’s enough.

How was your weekend. What’s good in your hood or ‘burb?
