The Southern Belle 🍑

It's Spring break 2016!!!! I've enjoyed this time with my family so much. Being with my mother for an extended period of time made me realize how much I miss having her closer( yes Alabama is about 3 hours but I'm used to us being a little closer, let's try 1.5hours lol). 

When I go to visit my parents, I try to make the stay quick as possible because I've programmed my mind to think Huntsville is boring. Maybe it's because I have a million and one things on my mind pertaining to my business, the drive back home etc... But this time I had no excuses, it was spring break, family was here from up North and I was scheduled to be off until Wednesday. 

I can honestly say, my relocation to the south( November will be 7 years), has been one of the best decisions ever. The first 2 years were hard as I became adjusted but now it feels like this is where I'm supposed to be. Last week I realized, the North is no longer for me. Life in the South is calm, peaceful, less stressful and carefree. 

I dated a true Sourtherner a while back and I never ever understood why he was so laid back. Now I truly get it. The lifestyle is different. While turnUp still has a place in me, it's now on reserve for when it's truly needed. (It reared its head slightly Monday morning but a little prayer a lots of wooooosahs made it better). 

Spring break 2016, helped me to clear my mind just a little, enjoy time with family and reflect on all that was, is and soon to come. 

And although the hustle commenced as soon as we returned to Georgia with a trip to 6 Flags and a staff meeting lastnight; the peace and serenity that Huntsville provided will always make me smile. Not to mention, we stopped over in Tennessee for a while and I also felt in my element there. Beautiful sights, beautiful people, nice weather. 

I've truly embraced my Southern Belle lifestyle and it feels so good. I no longer have run from this place to that place to appease people. I can stay in the comfort of my four little walls, go for mile long walks, go to the park, take long scenic rides and be at Peace. 

My Lovies, life is definitely what we make it. Who we spend our time with is a reflection of our truest being. Today, I chose to always be surrounded by truth, love, honesty and the ones who truly bring me peace. My son always reminds me that we're rich. He'll soon be 5 so I always "ASS"umed he meant financially until he said, "Mommy we're rich with family and Love".. Out of the mouths of babes I tell ya. 

I challenge you, to embrace Peace and Love. This Southern Belle finally gets it and I'm in my happy place..
