Angels DO Exist...

.... And sometimes God allows us to be Angels~ CTH 

Riding thru the Blueridge Mountains, enjoying the fall foliage and the scenery. We decided to pull over and get a few still shots with my Canon. As we park, there's an older woman standing next to her car with the hood up. Because my friend is super concerned and caring, he asked the woman was she ok and did she have roadside assistance. 

I stood back and watched the interaction unfold. As we began to walk away, another car soon pulled behind us and the first thing he asked was, " Do u think they have jumper cables"? With concern for their safety, he says, " I don't mean to startle you but do you have jumper cables"? She responded, " YES, we have cables".. 

He took the cables and jumped Rose's car. Rose( her name) instantly gave us hugs and we shared in small talk. She told me she was just journaling, I told her I'm a blogger. I then said, " we were just talking about Angels and she said I was just reading about Angels on Facebook". 

I promise God always puts us in the right places at the right time. 

As most of you know, I'm getting my life together. Cleansing my mind of a lot of clutter and baggage. I'm learning that God allows everything to happen for a reason. This was not a coincidental weekend. I struggled with thoughts in my head because of unresolved issues with this person. But in that moment God reminded me that if nothing else he's taught me the importance of Patience. With patience comes understanding and forgiveness.. 

My loves, I challenge you to be understanding in all things. If you look with your heart and not always your eyes( catch that), God makes ALL things right in his timing. 

Prayer and Patience are my friends.. For that I'm thankful.. 

Signed, 

I have Angels Around Me... 

But it's Good For You...

My kids are gone for 3 weeks. I won't lie, within the 1st hour I wanted to drive back to my momm and get them. But I didn't. I'm a single parent and breaks come few and far in between. I made up in my mind to enjoy this time. Who knows when I'll be afforded the opportunity again.

Lastnight/ This morning... Sheesh where do I begin? I was hungry( since my kids aren't here I'm not pressed to go food shopping) I mean hella hungry. I thought to myself, it's the perfect time to get the girls together. We made a few detours and ended up at Fellini's Pizzeria on Peachtree. I know, kinda late to be eating a slice but oh well. We grabbed a table outside and the pettyNess began. 

I always say, being in Atlanta has afforded me the opportunity to meet great people but everyone is NOT a sisterfriend. These 3 though are the best. I'm glad we sat outside because the four walls could not contain the amount of hollering and laughter that went on. Petty pictures, petty names, petty posts. Yup, that's what we do( if you're not following me on Instagram I'm CheNeka T. Hobbs) 

I'm glad they all know my children and allowed me to talk about them for a brief second( I'm the only one with kids) but chile after I got it out my system, the conversation went straight south. When it's a bunch of women and 1 male( hey Marq) Sex is bound to come up. I must admit, it's good to have a guy's perspective when talking. You may hear some crazy stuff AND stuff you don't want to hear when you have a son but it's all good. 

Talking about sex is so risqué at times but it's a natural conversation. You're either getting it or you're not. And I know this comment may get back lash but if you're going to do wrong, you might as well enjoy it! And let's not forget about 

C-O-O-K-I-E-S..... A blog for another day, shrugs

Being around good people, food and a good beverage is ALWAYS good for the soul. I'm a bit sluggish this am because I haven't hung out that late ( I got in bed after 3AM, I think) in a while but it was well worth it.. 

So listen up, my kids will be gone for 3 weeks and I don't mind driving! Lol

I'm here for the fun and late nights. They make me happy. Call me, shoot a text, email me, leave a message. I'm here for it ALL and I want to live a little... Lol I mean it isssssss, " Summer, Summer, Summer Time"...( yessss Fresh Prince). 

Signed, 

A Momm on Summer Break 

 

you Straight?? I'm Good~~

I LOVE absolutely LOVE talking to my brother Dyrell aka Turkey Sandwich. Although I'm the oldest, my brothers swear they are older than me. The three of them definitely surpass me in height but I got them on age.

Whenever Turkey calls(his nickname, he's gonna kill me if he sees this)the 1st thing he says," What up Neek, you straight"? Before I tell him anything, he awaits my " I'm good Turkey, how about you"? He's my heart. Since relocating, he and I have become closer. We speak at least 3/4 times a week( yup, another welcoming phone call).Our relationship is different from my other 3 brothers. Growing up, we used to tell people we were twins, Michelle and Michael. Because we look so much alike, there was really no way for people to doubt it. LOL

When I moved to Atl, he told me "Neek I'm proud of you and if you and my niece need anything you call me". With tears and snot I said, Ok. There's something about our bond I just cannot explain. He was the 1st of my mother's children to marry. He's constantly looking for ways to just be better. He's an AWESOME father, son and brother. But like any other male, he goes through the ups and downs of being a Black Male. He goes above and beyond the call of duty for his children and our family.

Everytime we talk, the conversation is not complete if we don't talk trash. It's that kind of trash only siblings would understand...

Today's blog is dedicated to Antuan Dyrell (Turkey Sandwich) Hobbs. I've finally come to the place of meaning, "I'm good" from the heart. I'm loved, appreciated, accepted and I'm living for me. Thank-U for always being in my corner. Thanks for the Love and support. You're 1 of a kind homie...

So, umm yeah...
I'm GOOD~
