Monday Motivation

Wow ladies, can you believe we only have ten days left before we bid farewell to 2015? Have started your reflection and goal setting process? No I'm not talking a new years resolution that you won't keep. True goal setting for 2016.
It is imperative that we reflect on both the positive and negative things that have happened this year, because it is from both sides that we can gain knowledge to go forward. Reflection is important in gaining a focus for how we frame our going forward. For it is during this time that I can see where God has brought you from and how he made ways that we could not have made ourselves.
Have a great week crafting your goals.
Don't get so tied to the commercialism of Christmas, use it as a time to love on your family and friends. We truly don't know when our last time will be. Life will not come to an end if there is not a thousand gifts under the tree.

As always I admonish you to live Blessed.

Good Morning,
I know that most of you are feverishly checking off your lists as you prepare for thanksgiving and some of you are panicking because you don't know what to do. I remember the very first thanksgiving that I invited my grandparents and my great uncle to...baby I was so nervous. Don't get me wrong I have been cooking since I was 9 so the cooking wasn't the problem, making sure everything was right was. So I used some awesome recipes I found in the October issue of Ebony magazine. They were awesome and it was great. I don't have that anymore because 25 years have flown by since then. So, I have attached a link to an awesome Pinterest page full of tasty recipes for those of you that are yet trying to figure it out. Enjoy.
