Hi everyone! Wishing you all a safe Spring Break holiday and a blessed Resurrection Sunday! For all of you who are new to the link up...all you do is share with us what you're DOING WELL this week! It can be ANYTHING(something you're doing personally, a project you're working on, etc.), no matter how big or small. Because we do so much for others, we sometimes find it hard to celebrate ourselves! That's where this link-up comes in. I wanted to create a space where you could

Am I the only one excited about celebrating the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ!!

Are you looking the other way?

enabling others



While at a hotel recently, my husband and I encountered a group of teenagers who were disrespectful and rude. It saddens me that we see this behavior more often than not. I remember when I was growing up this was frowned upon by others, now it’s looked upon as the “cool” thing to do. There was a time when parents would get embarrassed and do something about it, nowadays

A Silent Strength



my aunt Sarah Mae Flemming the trailblazer
I've been blessed to have grown up surrounded by an amazing group of women! All, who in their own way, paved the future for me...sometimes unbeknownst to them. Women, like my mother Mary, who made everyone she came in contact with feel as if they were the most important person in the room. To this day, I still consider her the greatest woman I ever met! And my grandmother Caroline, who by herself, raised and supported my mother and her 10 siblings(including infant twins), after my grandfather was tragically killed. And I can't forget my sisters, aunts, cousins and the countless other women God has allowed me to cross paths with.

 I shared with you a few weeks ago about my lovely mother HERE. And as we’ve closed out another “Black History Month” and have entered into "National Women's Month", it would be remiss of me to not mention a woman who was a true trailblazer, not only for myself, but for the nation. Yes, I said the nation!

I don’t know what it is about the women in my family, but they never felt the need to brag, they never tooted their own horn and never put the spotlight on themselves. I guess my job is to do it for them, huh! This post is dedicated to my aunt Sarah Mae Flemming-Brown(my dad’s oldest sister), whom we affectionately called “Aunt Kitty”, she was truly our family heroine, a trailblazer in her own right! Here’s her story……….
