Doing YOU WELL Wednesday #21 along with celebrations!



an encouragement link up and celebrations
Hi everyone! Welcome again to another edition of the “DYWW” link-up. A place where you can drop by every week to catch up on what everyone’s been doing, where we celebrate and encourage you AND you get to meet some new blogging friends! You can’t beat that, huh? :-)


Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I did and was so excited because I actually got a chance to meet one of my blogger friends face-to-face! Yayy!! I had the pleasure of meeting the lovely Michelle(eh em, lovely name don’t cha think), who blogs over at "Divas With a Purpose". She was an awesome hostess, who made everyone feel welcomed. She held her “Celebration of Friendship”  seminar at the Columbia Chamber of Commerce. It was quite lovely might I add, and  I also got a chance to meet up with some lovely ladies/vendors.

Guess who won that lovely lunch bag in the middle of the table?


Monday, my younger sister and I took my older sister on a day trip to Charlotte, NC for her 50th birthday(you know we women can't pass up a road trip). Can’t believe I have a sister who’s 50, lol! It was great spending the entire day with my two sisters…love those chicas!! I cherish the time I spend with my family! We ended the day with a three course meal from the  “Cheesecake Factory”. I must admit…we ate waaayy too much!

The lemon raspberry cheesecake was divine!!
On with the show!! Tell us what you did/are doing well this week! Go ahead, don’t be shy…you’re allowed to toot your horn over here!  After linking up, don’t forget to stop by some other blogs, show them some encouragement and luv!! Don't forget to come back Friday for "MicheIl's Weekly Pearl". I do appreciate each and every one of you and call you BLESSED!!

Having a blast serving Him !

  5. Hi Michell, such a short welcome to the party packed with fun! Firstly, YAY to meeting Michell...she built up so much suspense for that event, I'm glad you got to attend and meet her. Congrats on winning the swag. You know I'm a sucker for some family time. So sweet that y'all took a day trip & Charlotte has so much to offer. Happy 1/2 a Centenniel...ha, I'm sure she wants to hear that right? Seriously, What a blessing!!!

    I'm DYW with vacation! I plan to enjoy my family and get some overdue work done & of course get ahead on some blog stuff ;). Thx for hosting!

    1. Yes, it was great meeting her...she's a sweetheart! You know I had to make up for missing out on BBC in Charlotte Joi! ;-( I won the swag by paying attention to the directions, lol! Yes, my sisters and I had so much fun! Even though there's a five year difference between my older sister and myself and seven year difference between my younger sister and I, we're very close. After our mom passed away, we make it a point to bring our families together on a consistent basis. As with you, family is sooo precious to me! Thanks Joi...I'll be sure to let her know!

      Yayyy for vacation...have fun with the family! Thanks for linking up...have a wonderful and restful vacation!
