Hey Fam,

“He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.” Benjamin Franklin

I’m at it again, huh?  Allowing several weeks/months to go by before I enter a new post.  Well, I have absolutely no excuse.  Tons of reasons, but no excuse.  The only thing I can do is apologize and simply say, I’m going to do my very best to do better and be more consistent with my post.

I have so many exciting things to share and talk about.   You’re probably saying that I better because it’s been almost two months.  Well, since my last post, I performed in the spring recital with the Adult Modern Dance Company that I was apart of at Body Moves, on April 24th and it went very well.  It definitely let me know that I still have it.  I am a little rusty, but if I wanted to focus on dance again, I believe that I could.  And that made me feel good.  I then performed in the Secret Lives of Ministry Wives (SLMW) on Mother’s Day.  This gospel stage play was written by Nicole Morgan and adapted from her book, Half Minister, Half Mistress.  The show was received very well.  It was standing room only in the house and she is currently working on putting the show up again next month. 

I had a fabulous party planned for my youngest son for his 4th birthday on  April 30th.  We were going to have a moon-bounce, popcorn machine, cotton candy machine, pinata, cupcakes, juice and chips at his daycare with all of his classmates and friends.  I had decided to take the party to the kids instead of inviting the kids to a party, you know.  My poor little pumpkin woke up the morning of his big day withSTREP THROAT!!  I was devastated!!  He had started acting a little different two days prior to his birthday and I wish I had taken him to the doctor the next day (Thursday) because I may not have had to cancel his big party.  I rushed him to the doctor at Noon, thinking he had an ear infection and if he got some antibiotics in his system he would be good to go for his party at 3pm.  But instead, we found out he couldn’t be around any other kids for 24 hrs because he had strep throat.  I was crushed!!  I had been planning this party for him ALL month.  Once he got the antibiotics in his system, he slept until about 9pm and then we sang happy birthday, cut the cake and he opened a few presents when he woke up.  We had the family and close friends over for a fish fry on Sunday afternoon to give him a small party and celebrate his 4thyear of birth.  My birthday was May 6th and I actually spent it in tech rehearsal for SLMW.  My hubby had a few family members over the next day for dinner and a movie.

Now I’m focusing on building my business of MULTIPLE STREAMS OF INCOME.  I have a plan to be back home and working for myself again.  I’m tired of working hard for someone else, building someone else’s dream, when I know I can focus that same discipline and energy and work hard for myself.  It’s My Time, as Joel Osteen says.  It’s My Time and the count down is on!  I am in alignment!  I am focused!  I am praying everyday!  And I trust and believe that I will be back home soon and very soon!!

Until Next Time!!
