One of my favorite Days...

Happy New Year/Born Day to me!!! Today I woke up feeling more hopeful than I have felt in a while. My New Year has begun and I am excited about the new possibilities ahead of me.

I have been really thinking a lot about what are my personal priorities as I think about my life and make some decisions as as I move forward personally and professionally. Reflecting on my last year has been a process, and it has also pushed me to get focused on my priorities vs. others priorities. This month I am focusing on reconnecting with myself and trusting God's guidance. I am ready to get out of my own way...

WonderWoman's Priorities
1st- Take care of myself- mind, body, and spirit
2nd- Take care of my children... Coach them to be their best selves
3rd- Be my best as a family member and friend
4th- Share my talents with others
5th- Finish what I started... if "it" will strengthen me


Thanks to you family and friends who shared in my Born Day weekend. Some highlights of my weekend:

  • I went to Merengue Restaurant for dinner with some friends. I love good comfort food with my amazing friends. I had enough left over for lunch and dinner the next day.
  • I rested... the week was long and I was exhausted, so on Saturday I just chilled and then went out with my sons that evening.
  • I enjoyed spending time with my sons and some of our "healthy" debates.
  • I saw a few films at the Roxbury Film Festival. The Festival was wonderful and I really enjoyed the movies that I saw- Of Men and Boys with Robert Townsend and Steam with Ruby Dee.
  • I now share my Born Day with the official Ruby Dee Day in the City of Boston. She received a City of Boston Citation that officially announced Ruby Dee Day... that was inspirational in so many ways. Elder Black women inspire me and leave me hopeful. They remind me that I have decades left to be more and more wonderful and fabulous...
  • I ended my Born Day with one of my favorite things... Lemon cake from the Cheese Cake Factory... yummy!
Thank you to my friends and family for sharing one of my favorite days/weekends.

Inspired and Loved,
WonderWoman
