I pray you’ve had a great week. I’m finally able to decompress a little bit after having taken the GRE yesterday – one of the many steps in the grad school application process I mentioned in the last post. Before taking any big test or taking any important step in life, it’s important to RELAX! Be...

Happy 2011! I pray that you were able to ring it in doing something fun! I took a wonderful , said my prayers and then spent the rest of the night drinking hot cocoa, eating homemade biscuits with tupelo honey butter and laughing like crazy with my oldest brother. It was a relaxed yet fun-filled evening just like I wanted. Laughter is a great way to start – or finish! – just about anything.
I have to admit, although the cele...

Happy weekend! I pray that you’ve had a positive and productive week, I know I have! I had the pleasure of attending the Uptown Girl!

I got so into my rest and GRE study this weekend that I didn’t grace you with a Pamper Yourself post, but I’m sure you found a way to indulge *smile* I was a little worn out because I’ve been blessed to attend some really great events over the past 2 weeks! If for no other reason, you’ve got to love New York for the plethora of activities and things there are to get into around here.
As I mentioned in Pamper Yourself post (those of you w...
Blessed greetings to each of you today! I pray that the day finds you well and keeping warm if you’re in a cold climate like I am. Today is the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere (it happens in June in the southern hemisphere) – it is the shortest day and longest night of the year and it marks the beginning of winter in the northern hemisphere. The solstice has held significance for many cultures around the world since the beginnings of huma...
