Happy Birthday To Me + A Letter To Myself, With Love

Happy Birthday To Me + A Letter To Myself, With Love

It's always easier to write a "tribute" to someone else, just like it is sometimes [unfortunately] easier to take care of someone else and their needs and forget all about yourself. So, this year, I will be doing something different. I'll be writing a lovely post for myself. Enjoy and celebrate with me. **************************************************** Happy birthday, Vera! You have been blessed to celebrate yet another birthday. Don't think of today as just the anniversary of the day you Read More

My people, my 2018 is looking like it's going to be my best year yet.

Yes, I know that Christmas has come and gone, but the thing is that I really still want to wish you a Merry Christmas. This year was an interesting Christmas for me. I started off dreading it because you know festive periods have a way of making you feel lonely if you're not around loved ones. However, once again, God showed up and showed out.

So, finally, in July, I started working on it. I was able to budget some money for the redesign of my online space.
