I almost didn't go live this morning because I almost felt like what I was doing wasn't making any impact but I showed up! In today's live broadcast, I shared my take on the subject of "courage," because it took courage for me to plan and show up for something that didn't go as planned. Anyways, courage is not the absence of fear but the ability to move towards your goal inspite of the fear. I have shared the link with you to watch it here:
Have a great day!
Don't let anyone steal your joy!

Hello my friends, thank you for checking out my blog today. I am very grateful for you. Hope you and your family had an amazing month of October?! Wow! What a month?! God is good.
Many wonderful things happened in this month for me and I'm going to share a few with you.
My kids and I met our YouTube friend; Lily Petals World and her kids. We had a blast at Atlantic Station; Atlanta. Lily was very warm and welcoming and it felt like we had known her for years. Lily's new man was there too and he was a wonderful person to be around. Here's the vlog from our visit:
My Daily Morning show has been a blessing also. When I started, I didn't know that I would still be doing to this day and I did and I'm still going strong with it. I have some great plans for it too. Here's yesterday's show:
We talked about letting go and focusing on our goals, on yesterday's episode. I believe my morning show will change millions of lives around the world. I'm right now thinking about ideas that would make me better and also improve my show.Another highlight is my style. I don't always dressup unless I'm going to church or a business meeting/conference but having this daily show, I'm letting my fashion and style come through babyyy :). I notice how more confident I feel each time I get dressed for my show and I love it.
Don't let anyone steal your joy!

The above picture is from this past Sunday after service. The kids and I always look forward to church every Sunday.
How are you doing today? I hope you're taking great care of the most important person in your life; that would be you?! Often, we get lost in other people's problems that we forget we are equally as important as others. Let this be reminder for you to take a break for you and just breathe today!
I went live yesterday and I liked it. I have been doing live broadcasts for years but things are feeling a little different and I'm open to new things happening. A little excitement is always welcome. In yesterday's live broadcast, I encouraged you; my friend to keep trusting God while you take steps towards your goal. believe in yourself and keep working towards a better you and never allow setbacks to discourage from taking another step. As Napoleun Hill said "Your strength grows out of your struggles." I also went live today and I will be sharing that link tomorrow. I'm feeling like this style of live broadcast should become a thing. I'm still playing around with the idea.
Here's the video from yesterday:
I used my 4K camera to broadcast yesterday and I'm feeling the clear and vibrant vibe :).

What's up everybody, thank you for checking out my blog today. Today is a beautiful day and I am very excited to be posting this blog today. I believe today's post will inspire everyone.
In today's blog, I would like to share Millionaire mindset coach Arash Vossoughi's morning and evening routines. Arash is the founder and CEO of Voss Coaching Co. He was personally mentored by the greatest Prosperity teacher ever; late Bob Proctor. I have been following Arash for years and I consider him ny coach and I do intend to enrol for his mentorship soon but in the mean time, I wanted to share some valuable lessons I learned from his latest Podcast: 7 Figure Standard with you.
Arash is believer of how you start your day is how you end your day. He gives very valuable tips that can help anyone raise their standards and live the life they have always dreamed of.
1. Think about your goal. Arash advises everyone to think about their goal when they wake up first thing in the morning. He said the subsconcious mind, which is responsible for 95% of our results is more receptive to work on our goals when we think about them within five minutes of waking up.
2. Gratitude. Think about 5 to 10 things you are grateful for and feel the gratitude.
3. He exercises. He said he would walk his dog for 30 minutes and get some exercise while he does it.
4. I Am statements. He said he would say out loud 10 to 20 I Am statements because whatever we place after the sentence IAM, we become. For example: I AM HAPPY, HEALTHY AND WEALTHY AND I LOVE IT!
5. Affirmations of your goals. Arash advises us to say our goals in the present tense as though we have already achieved them.
6. Study. He said to focus on 3-5 paragraphs about an area we want to improve on, in a book that covers that topic. He said to study it until it becomes a part of us.
Arash also advised that as we grow, our processes will have to change. He said to upgrade our disciplines and processes as they become part of our nature.
1. Arash advises us to ask ourselves questions after the work day. Questions like: Did I act like the person I wanted to become today?
2. Did I behave like that person? He further explains that the evening routine keeps us accountable so we don't drift from our goals.
3. He said we should write out 3 to 4 goal achieving activities in the present tense that we intend to carryout the next day, as though it is already done.
4. Lastly, he said 3 mins before we fall asleep, we should affirm our goals in the present tense and feel like we already achieved them.
Here's the video for more tips about Arash's morning and evening routine:
I hope this inspires you.

Hello every, thank you for checking out my blog today. I am so excited to be writing today.
Hope you and your family are well? It is summer and June is almost done. I am wishing you all the best the rest of the month and beyond has to offer.
In today's blog; I want to share my experience at my first Sabbath Celebration, a few weeks back.
Prior to attending the Sabbath celebration, I was under the impression that I was going to a Jewish party and we were going to sing Jewish songs, dance to Jewish music and eat Jewish foods. Because I was so excited for the new experience, I spent a few days telling the kids about it and what to expect. While the kids and I were looking forward to a Jewish celebration, our actual experience was nothing Jewish but we still had a great time.
I enjoy making new friends and eating at their homes. Food is such a great part of my life and I enjoy trying foods from different cultures. I promised Kesha that on her next Sabbath Celebration, I would bring some Jewish foods. She actually invited us this past week but we couldn't make it because we had made other plans. But I still stand by my word that on our next Sabbath Celebration with Kesha and her family, I will bring some Jewish food so we can have somewhat Jewish Sabbath experience.
Here's the link to the video of our experience;
These queens will change the world!Thank you for reading.
Have a great day!

Hello everyone, thank you for checking out my blog today. It really means a lot that you are showing some support and interest in the blogs. Today's post is about my kids' coach's restaurant; Leviticus $5 Box located at 222 Upper Riverdale Rd, Jonesboro, GA.
Coach C runs a wonderful order to-go restaurant at a Chevron gas station complex and you MUST try his food. The kids and I had the privilige to try Coach C's cookign and my God! We were so blown away! His food is the kind you get at a high-end Sports Bar and I'm not kidding. The flavors of his burgers, fries, wings and hot dogs are AMAZING!
I had the opportunity to taste everything on his menu and I was not disappointed.
You live in the area and would like to try Coach C's masterpiece? Call him ahead of time 678-420-8684; every item on the menu is $5 before tax. if you purchased a box, taxes are $.40 cents.
I had a great time watching coach navigate his restaurant, masterfully and it was amazing! Here are a few pictures I took of coach creating his masterpiece; please enjoy. I have also included a link to the video review I did.
There's something about Coach C's flavors and I think it may have a lot to do with his Afro-Caribbean background and ancestry. You must check him out.
Coach's restaurant has become like a key component of the community and that is awesome!
Thank you Coach C, for the opportunity to review your restaurant and menu.
Thank you for reading!

In the typical American family, either both parents work, or in many families separated by
divorce, single parents are raising the kids. They come home from work and haven’t seen the
kids since early in the morning, and no one has the energy to cook. But eating healthy doesn’t
have to be difficult and it will help you get through the days so you can concentrate on the things
that matter.
It’s tempting to hit the drive-thru several times per week, but as part of an overall effort to make
smarter choices regarding your overall well being, eating healthy is important and good eating
habits can be developed without too much effort. Maryam's Joyful Life shares six tips to help
you prepare nutritious meals that everyone will enjoy.
The easiest way to ensure that your family eats healthily is by preparing meals yourself. When
you sit down at a restaurant, all you know for sure is that it tastes good. It’s best to eat at home.
One way to overcome some of the drudgery of cooking day after day is to not skimp on
cookware. When you use the best cookware you feel special. And you’ll feel even more special
after dinner because it will be easier to clean.
As you become more experienced preparing meals at home, you may want to consider making
upgrades to your kitchen. A modernized kitchen can be especially attractive to buyers if you
plan on selling your home.
A great way to reduce the number of calories your family eats, while adding more nutritional
value and keeping the meal filling, is to include a salad with lunch and dinner. By using healthy
greens, mixed with other veggies, fruits, or nuts, you feel less hungry when you begin the main
course. You can grow your own herbs and lettuces all year round with an indoor garden.
During the warmer months, an outdoor garden can be a constant source of cheap organic
greens. If you don’t want to share with wildlife, consider fencing in your garden for less than
what building raised beds would cost. Average labor costs are $30–$50 per hour according to
Inch Calculator, while wooden fencing is $16 per foot and chain link is $13 per foot. Your plants
will thank you.
Not all proteins are equal and some foods are known to put your health at a higher risk than
others. Recent studies cited on Prevention.com have shown that regularly eating red meats can
lead to a higher risk of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. If you can’t quit red meat
altogether, it’s okay in moderation. Otherwise, try to prepare your meals with chicken or fish, or
with vegetable proteins like peanuts or tofu.
Having an outdoor grill or range is a great option for preparing your meats of choice. You can
even add a range hood, a table, and some seating to make a great spot outside for sharing
meals and entertaining. Things just taste better straight off the grill.
Not all carbohydrates are bad, but some are definitely better for you than others. When you
make pasta or a rice-based dish, you are adding lots of calories. You can give your meals a
healthier base by switching to veggies instead. Vegetables such as squash or zucchini can
serve as a substitute for a wide range of foods, giving meals more nutritional value while also
cutting back on carbohydrates.
After dinner, your family will be pining for something cold and sweet to eat as a treat. Of course,
you can’t have sweet treats without consuming foods laden with calories and sugar, right? Well,
not all desserts come with a high-calorie count. The secret is to stick to fruit.
Smoothies are easy to make and can be made from just a handful of your favorite fruits. Add a
dollop of vanilla yogurt to chopped strawberries and you have an incredible dessert on your
hands. Even eating fruit on its own can make a delicious treat the whole family can enjoy.
It’s vital to stay properly hydrated to effectively deal with the summer heat, but consuming a lot
of caffeine can make that more difficult for your body. Be mindful of the amount of caffeine you
consume each day. It can show up in surprising sources, such as Sunkist orange soda. If you
notice that you’re becoming dehydrated, try replacing some caffeinated beverages with water.
You don’t have to be a professional chef to prepare incredible meals. You don’t need to be a
health guru to provide your family with food that has high nutritional value. With these tips in
mind, it’s time to get in the kitchen and start cooking.

The wolves are ready to go haha
Good morning, wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. It is amazing to be here today. I am excited to share pictures from our Great Wolf Lodge experience.
Our cabin room was spacious and on the first floor.
As you guys may have already seen, we had a blast at Great wolf lodge and even uploaded some amazing content for you all. I just wanted to put this out there; Great Wolf Lodge is a great place for family. I love the experience and the kids are already talkiing about going back. I will take them back there soon.
Here's Our arrival day at the lodge and cabin tour vlog. Check it out...
I was not in the kids' way at all. I wanted to have fun as much as they did too. So, I let them explore the waterpark on their own and that is why I love Great Wolf Lodge. Everything is together and in one place for the kids to explore. As a mom, I want to make sure my kids are always safe and I don't have to worry about them wherever we go. Comparing Great Wolf Lodge to Sea World; the differenc is night and day! There's not a lot of walking. It is a closed water park and the kids feel safe and ready to dive deep into their play time.

Zoe relaxing and waiting on the waves to come through. The waves in the beach like water, were amazing! Zozo and I enjoyed it.
Zozo and I enjoying the waves
This was our last day; we had to get a good swim and enjoy the water park before checking out.
Great Wolf Lodge offers a full day water park expereince for guests after they checkout. I really like their service and highly recommend them.
