Live Life

A couple of weeks ago, I felt a large mass in my breast.  I had just checked my breasts in the shower on Sunday.  On Tuesday, I had a throbbing sensation near the lower part of my breast that I knew was not there before. I immediately called my doctor....

Happy Anniversary

On Saturday, October 1, 2011, my husband and I will celebrate our one-year anniversary.  It all began during the Spring of 1996 after I had joined Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. and he had joined Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.   He introduced himself as...

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer

This will be my only post this week because it is a post that is very dear to my heart.  I want my viewers to see this post for the entire week.  It is my prayer that this post will encourage women who have not been getting their annual mammograms or those...

Sweet Dreams

Although the baby does not arrive for five months, I like to be on top of things.  The baby's room is a project that cannot be ignored, and I don't want to wait until the last minute.  I got overwhelmed with all of the strollers that are out there, so I...

The Seventh Year

As I write this, I am overwhelmed with joy about everything (the good and the bad) that has happened in my life this past year.  While looking at my Christmas decorations, which were taken down New Year's Day, I thought about all that God had done in 2017....

Ohhhh Baby!

Christmas has always been my favorite holiday.  My mom knew that every year, we had to put up a Christmas tree and Christmas decorations.  I love what the season represents --- the birth of my Savior, Jesus Christ, and being thankful everyday for all that...

My Rainbow

On June 7, 2012, my mother lost her battle with breast cancer. She was my best friend.  We talked or Skyped everyday, even when she was in the hospital.  We had so much faith that she would be healed and would live to see my daughter, Shayla Nicole. ...

Gifted Realty Huntsville

Today, I had a lunch date with a friend. I had a few spare minutes prior to our lunch, so I stopped by a gift shop on my way to the restaurant. I had actually seen this gift shop for the past year, but I never had time to stop. I am always rushing to get to my hair...
