Even the greats Rest...

This was a busy weekend to say the least.. Football, hair appointment, my daughter needed time with her BF and then I had to catch up with my Women's Organization partner for a few laughs and lastly, a day trip to Alabama to be with my son's Godparents and the christening of their baby girl. I did a lot of driving! Whew! 

But it's worth it. To see my children smile, to smile with people who are close to my heart and to have weekEnd wind down with my sistergirl is so totally worth. 

As I sat on my couch this afternoon, I was close to pulling my hair out because I had nothing to blog. I texted a few of my closest like, I need blog inspiration when all along, I had something to say. 

I try to avoid always having a message to convey to my readers, aha moments if you must. Sometimes, I just want to talk about nothing and be regular. But nothing about Cheneka is regular. I'm fierce, a go- getter, a pusher, a lover, a giver, I pray, I listen, I cry and I laugh. 

And for once, it's ok to not have much of anything to say. Because as my sister/ bestie put it, "Even the greats rest".. ... Tomorrow is Tuesday, in my attempt to continue being great, I'll run/ walk three miles instead of 2 because I was tired today! Random I know but hey, even this blog is Random! 

Thanks to all of my loves who attempted to give me ideas.. A piece of each of you is present in this blog( you know who you are, I love you immensely) 💋

I'm Not just a Blogger... 

Whatever Wednesday....

I've been meaning to blog since Mother's Day. This was the 1st year that I didn't have a melt down. Like so many other holidays, it's become commercialized by the amount of money that's spent. This year, #boychild, #girlchild and #niecechild  really made me smile. I know they are young and money is sometimes hard for them to come by( without me giving it to them) but they made it happen. 

When I woke up Sunday, I was beyond Thankful. I received so many messages, cute gifts and phone calls that it made my heart smile on the inside. Not to mention the release I had at church, the ugly cry at that... Whew!! 

 I'm horrible with wearing my feelings on my sleeve but lately I've had a whatever attitude AND not whatever in a negative way. 

More so, I'm ready to embrace WHATEVER is in store for my life. After a few heartbreaks and setbacks, it's so easy to just live life as a hermit, inside a shell hiding. But I refuse to live that way. Who would it benefit? Certainly not me. 

So here's to Growth, wherever this journey is leading us I'm Ready... 

Motherhood, I Got this and I'm not going to fail NOW. 

To Relationships, if you give I'll give. I'm able, open, willing and ready. 

To Success, it's not stopping with just KISS, whatever is brewing I'm ready to pour.. 

And to life, oh it's been a turbulent ride. Some days high and some days low. But it's definitely made me into the Woman I am today. 

So my lovies, Whatever this Wednesday throws your way, good or bad don't take it laying down. Somethings aren't always a fight. Some are mere gifts that are just God's way of reminding you that it's ok and HE has you.. Live and Let Live. We'll never know until we look whatever the fear is in the face and say, "I'm Not Scared".. No Fear here. 

Signed, 

Living My Life Like its Golden!
