Saying Goodbye Yet Still Grateful.

With a bit of a sad spirit, I write this post today. Heart broken but still grateful. My aunt died from a massive stroke this week and I will be taking a short trip to attend her funeral. There was hope that she would make it when she was in the hospital but the brain swelling and then no brain activity confirmed that she would not make it and if she did, she would be a vegetable. :(


For those who follow me on facebook, I often post information about different causes and of course, now stroke is now one dear to my heart. While researching, I realized that I need to change some of the things I eat and my lifestyle. No food or whatever is worth my life. The cause awareness month for stroke is in May and the ribbon color is red, purple for child stroke victims. You can view more information about strokes ect. here: stroke.org.




What am I thankful for today??


1. God who has blessed us all.
2. My family who has supported me at this time.
3. My loving husband who is here for me even though he isn't good with emotions lol.
4. When those who have said unnecessary things to me, the wisdom to go to God in prayer and not retaliate. After all, that's not what this is about. The devil is always busy.
5. The love I have for my aunt and family. We stick together like G-L-U-E!
6. The support of my twitter and facebook friends when I asked for prayer for myself and my family at this difficult time. THANKS SO MUCH!!
7. LIFE.
8. The ability to learn from others mistakes.
9. My sweet babies who made me laugh when I wanted to and was crying. :) They don't even know it, just being themselves lol.
10. Understanding. I appreciate those who understand my situation and rather than demanding things of me, reach out a hand to help.


What are you thankful for today?

Unexpected gifts for me yippee!!

Happy Wonderful Wednesday everyone!

I hope you are having a great week! I am super excited about vending at the 
Southwestern Black Student Leadership Conference this Saturday!
A few months ago, yes I am VERY late with this post lol! My hubby went to an Insanity workout workshop in Arlington. When we talked on the phone, he said he had a gift for me. So I am thinking ok....what could he have gotten me from an insanity workshop?? Lol! Well he comes home and gives me this Michaels bag. I am like Ohhhhh Lord. He likes to go what I call 'overboard' on gifts. He told me in one of the other rooms, they were having a beading expo so he went and got some things for me. So I look in the bag and he has gotten me two displays plus the pictures below. The charms are all sterling silver. 


I love purple! :)



I was like boyyyyyyy I'm gonna kill you for spending this much on me! 
Even though I was kinda happy on the inside hee hee. 

I have just started to use the charms an example you can see below. These are also my first inspirational pandora style key chains! A custom order for a customer!

Every time I put it on, it reminds me to forgive myself and others.
So many people stop and read my shirt and are like you are right! 
Hate the Sin, Love the Sinner!

So You Think Entering Giveaways is a Waste of Time?

Happy Wonderful Wednesday!!

Are you enjoying your new year?? I am!

I admit I wrote this post after reading one with the same title at Bam Crafty Mommas Blog! I thought is was so clever! She talked about how some people believe entering giveaways is a waste of time (I used to be guilty of this lol) But you can really win some cool things! After I got over my cynical nature and started entering giveaways, here are a few things I won!








And more!!
