We have also been going to basketbal games on the weekends and that has been fun too. life is better when you enjoy different activities with your family. Make sure to make the time to enjoy your time with your kids and family.

Did I tell you that we have also been vlogging? Well yes, and here are a few vlogs to catch up with:

HOPE CAN COME FROM GREAT SUFFERING

 

Good morning wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. Thank you for checking out my blog today. It is a beautiful, cold and windy day today, in Hampton Georgia. God is good!

Hope can come out of great suffering. I have had my share of intense suffering and heartbreak and I can confidently tell you that hope can come out of whatever you may be going through right now. It may be hurting so bad and you feel like this is where your life ends, but I'm here to tell you this is not where your life ends. Something better is being birth out of you. Things are about to shift to a better dimension. You're about to see the grace of God like you've NEVER seen before. God is about to create a Miracle out of your mess. Life is taking a glorious turn for good for you.

I know that it's hard for you to accept my words right now but in time, you will. I just advise that you lift up your eyes up to the sky and look at the sun. Let your focus be on the light. He who created the Heavens and the Earth has not forgotten about you. Just remember to give thanks for the breath in your lungs right now. Start giving thanks that God whose breath is in your lungs is even right now, shifting everything in your favor. 

The right people are about to step into your life. the right opportunities are coming and the right friends. God won't forsake you and please don't forsake yourself. Keep looking at the light and affirming the word of God. "I will never leave you nor forsake." That's the word of God. Sing and dance even if you don't feel like it. Get excited because the horseman and his carriage are about to arrive at your doorstep with your miracle. You're not forgotten nor are you forsaken. 

Seek first the Kingdom within you. Call on your Heavenly father who is never far away from you. Take your eyes and focus from your troubles for a second and look to God. Look to Christ; the author and finisher of your faith. I believe things are shifting in your favor.

I give thanks for you, that everything has already turned in your favor. God is FOR you and NO thing can be against you.

WHAT MAKES A GOOD PARENT?!

 

Good morning wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. how are you all doing today? I hope you're all having a great day and are not letting anyone steal your joy. Welcome to Maryamsjoyfullife. Today is a beautiful day. Thank you for checking out my blog today.

What makes a good parent? I ask this question with the intention of sharing my answer with you.

Being a parent is a great responsibility. It is you choosing to be responsible for another who either comes to you by choice or by circumstance but either way, YOU are going to be responsible for your new addition. Being a parent is a VERY big task and requires lots of SACRIFICE, UNCONDITIONAL LOVE AND PATIENCE. 

If you are a parent and your kids' needs come last to you, yeah, you're a BAD parent. Your kids' need should always be at the top of your list. This is not to say that you ignore your needs but you should be in a hurry to meet your kids' needs every SINGLE TIME!

Any parent who claims to be good but doesnt make sacrifice in time and expenses for their kids, is BAD!

I do understand exceptions where certain parents are just bad and are not supposed to be there near their kids but this post is not for such parents. This is for those who are ready to take being parents seriously and want to do the best for their kids. Kids need nurturing and love. Someone has to be there to show them love and a good example and this takes TIME, SACRIFICE AND UNCONDITIONAL love.

One of the most important advise I can give myself and anyone who chooses to listen to me is to put GOD first!

Let God guide you in your parenting and also use common sense.

KIDS ARE DOING GREAT

 

What's up wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. How are you all doing today? I hope you're all having a great day and are not letting anyone steal your joy. Welcome to Maryamsjoyfullife. Today is a beautiful day. 

The kids were ill last week and now they are better. Life is a lot better when they are their happy joyful selves again. The whole time they were ill, I felt like it was me who was ill. I dont like when they are ill and not doing good. I love my kids and do the best I can for them and when they are down, I'm down. 

I noticed something different about my reaction this time. I felt the help of God and the Angels. In the past, I wouldv'e been broken and sad and lost weight from worrying, but this time I was strong for my kids and me. I did everything I could within my powers to care for them. I'm so thankful that they are doing great. I give thanks to God for my kids.

Here's a video i filmed documenting my journey. Check it out

No matter what the situation, you are going to be alright. God is always there for you.

ENJOYING TIME AS A FAMILY EATING OUT

 

Good morning wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. How are you all doing today. I hope you are all doing great. today is a beautiful day. Welcome to Maryam's Joyful Life.

In today's blog, I wanted to share the importance of enjoying time away from your home and home cooked meals with your family. I have come to see the importance of making a change every now and again. Being at home with family and making dinner, day in and day out is all amazing and sweet but it can also become boring. In my case, I cook, clean and work at home. While I'm grateful for the convenience, it can become boring and uninspiring and this is why I make it a habit to take my kids out to eat food cooked by someone else.

The kids and I went to Applebees to have dinner and it was good. We liked our waitress. She was kind and our food was delivered ontime. You can see pictures of our food on the blog. Our dessert was delicious too. 

Onion rings and bread sticks were yummy too.

I ordered the endless wings and fries. Couldnt make it past my first batch.

Prior to taking the kids to Applebees, I had shown Zoe the menu to choose what she might eat. I think this is another fun twist you can bring to your family. You can make a plan to take them out and build up the excitement leading up to the date but reviewing the menu and looking at pictures of the food on the restaurant's website. Our dessert, we decided on before we arrived at the restaurant because Zoe and I saw the picture and decided we would order it.

Make takign your kids out to eat a fun event you all plan towards. It would bring more family memories and things to talk about later with them.

I really enjoy going out and circulating my money at different fun spots and restaurants with my kids. 

Here's the video to see our full adventures:

I think it's great for our mental health too, lol.

Thank you for checking out my blog today. I hope you were inspired.

ENERGY HEALING FOR A BETTER LIFE

 

For thousands of years the yogis have known about the power of energy to transform lives. They have worked on manipulating energy for different purposes. In the recent years, it has been scientifically proven that we live in an ocean of motion made up of energy and this energy reacts to the consciousness observing it. I know some of you may not be aware of this but this energy is also know as prana or lifeforce. With this energy, you can make your life better and heal yourself. I have been taking classes and meditating with my teacher for about two years now and have really developed my ability in energy healing. I have been encouraged to go out and help more people. 

In today's world, there's too much dependency on medicine and people are devastated from it's side effects. I don't know about you but I get upset when I see all the side effects read at the end of each ad claiming to help people live longer or heal from their sickness. With energy healing, you are using the life force that is all about you; which by the way, never runs out, to bring your body to it's optimal function. 

I have tried and tested pranic healing and it is AMAZING! The founder of modern pranic healing is Grand Master Choa Kok Sui and since being introduced to pranic healing and meditation, my life has been transformed from the inside out. When my children have signs of cold or allergies, I do a cleansing technique that I learned and they are back to normal within minutes. It is so amazing.

I have the opportunity to put together a program that can help anyone who is open to the idea of pranic healing or energy healing. If you are interested in trying it, look to the left of this page and you will find different options. Choose the one that fits your budget and I will be happy to assist you.

MAMA STUFF AND SELF CARE

 

Good morning wonderful, amazing sweet and lovely people. Thanks for checking out my blog today. I am happy to post a blog today and share a bit of life with you today. Hopefully, you are inspired as usual.

So, I enjoy having a fun time with my kids and it is amazing! It is very important for moms to enjoy their time with their kids, loving them and playing with them. This is a form of therapy and quite frankly, it is the BEST therapy there's. Love heals ALL things!

I spent part of the weekend baking brownies with my Zozo and of course we filmed it. It was very fun baking with my girl. 

Here's the video:

Zozo enjoyed herself and ate most of the brownies too LOL. Le'Veon got a good bite too.

We have also decided on what to bake next and it is exciting!

I also filmed a meditation video for you. Check it out here:

Meditation helps me so much and I hope you give it a try and see how your life begins to change for the better.

I hope you take the time to really enjoy life and be in the moment.

ZOZO STARTED PREK AND LEVY IS IN FIRST GRADE

 

Hello everyone, thank you for checking out my blog today. Hope you are all doing great. I am happy to share today's blog because this has been a long time coming. My Zozo has started school and it couldn't be any more amazing. Zozo has been ready for school forever! She was so excited to go to school the first day. Zozo looked amazing in her uniform and of course had to bring out the camera.

Watch this video for first day of school fun.

Le'Veon also started First Grade; how exciting! The kids are super excited for school and our routine has changed. Life is good and I'm still in my praise spirit. How are you and your little ones doing?

Le'Veon looked smart in his uniform and was super ready to get started. However, he is getting used to not being the only student in the house. I have not been able to pick him up as early as he is used to, since Zozo needs to be picked up first. Life is definitely an adjustment right now but as usual, this mama is up to the task. 

I hope you and your little ones are having a great time adjusting the new school year.

Much love to you all.

OUR COCA-COLA WORLD ATLANTA EXPERIENCE|| REVIEW

 

Good afternoon, wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. Thank you for checking out my blog today. Today is a beautiful day and I am very excited to share our experience at Coca-Cola World with you all today. Welcome to Maryamsjoyfullife!

So I had been telling the kids about Coca-Cola world for a while but hadn't made the time to visit. 

We finally did it and it was worth it! The reason we follwoed through with our plan was because Le'Veon and Zoe competed in a game called War and Le'Veon won. I told them if either one won, we would go to Coca-Cola World. The game was very entertaining and the kids played so hard liek their lives depended on it lol... I was a very rowdy cheerleader too lol..

We enjoyed taste testing different coke products from all over the world. The kids even said their favorite part was the taste test.

Another fun experience was smelling the new fragances for coke's next products. The kids had fun with it but Le'Vy kept smelling the coffee bean over and over again lol. It was so funny.

This was a fun room to visit. It was like a memories room. In this room where the above picture was taken, you were given a pen and a paper to write your coca-cola story. While we didn't write anything down, we saw others who did. It was fun!

Watch this video to see more of what we did at Coca-Cola World:

It was very rewarding watching ym kids have a blast exploring coca-cola world. Zo'e really liked it and is still talking about the experience. This was also my first time visiting Coca-cola world and I couldn't be happier doing it with my kids.

There's so much more that I could share with you here but some of it is better saved for my memories lol. If you have not visited yest, make sure you do, you will be inspired.

Don't let anyone steal your joy!
