A Welcome Break

I am thoroughly enjoying my Christmas Break. I stayed a couple of days at my home away from home (Houston, for those of you who didn't know) which as usual was filled with lots of laughs, good times and bacon (mustn't forget the bacon!) I'm now spending a few days at my mom's house and kissing on my niece.   

   

Here are some of my thoughts as of late....

 

Love and Kindness

As I've been furiously writing in my journal about my goals, hopes and accomplishments for the upcoming year, I have been reflecting on the past year of my life.

Go Juanette, It's Your Birthday!

It's my birthday today yall! I am a fit and feeling fabulous 41! I was thanking God this morning for another birthday and was overcome with how grateful I feel! I haven't always been in a good place emotionally with all of the things that I have been through but I am oh so grateful for all of those things because I am so much stronger for the experience.

I like to use my birthday as my own personal New Year so I make a list of goals that I revisit throughtout the year. I was looking at my journal from last year and I am reminded of how far I've come.  I also looked at some old blog posts and laughed at some of my outfit pics. Why didn't yall tell me that I (sometimes) looked like a sister-wife?!? #YallWrong

But I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all for reading my little bit of blog and leaving your comments, yall are my 'friends in my head' too!

Now let the rachetness begin! Just kidding...but not really....ok, ok...yall know me so well......Rachet it is!

The L Word

I have been besieged with questions, conversations and thoughts about the L word over the weekend so I took it as a sign for a post. 

No not THAT L Word, the L word known as love... 

#PeopleBe

I was minding my own business watching The Cleveland Show and Rallo said "People be tall." And iDied.

That was SO hilarious to me! 1. because I use that hashtag a lot #PeopleBe and 2. Because I dig Rallo. So I thought I would tell yall some other stuff that People Be.

Sophistirachet: An Ode

Here's an excerpt of an online article that I found and thought it was hilarious!
