I'm talking to YOU...

I'm up. It's 4:20am and never mind... Lol 

We got in from our Holiday travels close to 6pm. I had a long list of things to do once we got home. Unpack( who am I fooling, that stuff will stay in the bag until I need it), pull out holiday decorations, run to Walmart and relax. I guess my body said otherwise. I climbed in bed a little after 8, I woke up to 6 texts, 2 missed phone calls and a warm, cozy, toasty place: My HOME! 

Traveling is fun. Being with family and friends is heartwarming but nothing compares to being HOME. Whether you're married, dating, single or in between, Nothing says safe better than HOME. 

I know this is an earlier than normal blog but I'm sure somewhere, I have a subscriber who will read this( I hope)... Lol

My Lovies, I'm challenging you to Be Happy. My Thanksgiving trip taught me a lot. While people enhance our happiness; true happiness starts within YOU.. I remember praying to God that happiness would find me. That HE would send someone to make me happy. It wasn't until I started to shed unwanted baggage that I found HAPPINESS in its purest form. ME. #CatchIt

When I stopped chasing people and entertaining their bulls$&@t, I soon found out that I'm worth more than they could offer. 

So cheers to Thanksgiving 2015. This year, I stayed in 1 place and was happy. I wasn't running around trying to see everyone because for once, all I needed was at my mom's house. 

Who's up for this challenge? For the next 5 days,I want You 2 be HAPPY... Not that fake oh I'm happy, I want you to be happy in your soul. Love yourself, your Family, your Friends and be Happy in doing so. I find happiness in the simplest things these days. Thanksgiving night, I cuddled with my little people in my mom's ottoman and although it was tight, I was HAPPY. Of course they argued but it's expected, my babies are special! 

We control our destiny and happiness( I mean you do know God has the final say but that's another blog for a different day).. Let yours start today! 

Signed, 

Cheneka IS HAPPY😊

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...
