He’s Back!

Hubby Update:

Thank you to everyone who has reached out to ask how he's doing.  Thank you for all of the love, support and prayers!  It means a lot to us.

Life has been pretty good – no complaints on this end!!  We truly feel blessed!  The Mister is doing so much better.  I find myself saying "heeeee's baaaaaack" lol.  It’s been so nice to see him transform from being depressed and bed ridden to being energetic and independent.  He’s back to his normal self, not 100% but damn near close.  Even his doctor continues to be amazed!!!

We are going on a much needed vacation and we could not be more excited.  We've been through so much these last 8 months so we're just gonna take some time to reflect and relax.  We're going on another cruise so stay tuned!  

I’m attaching some photos of him from this past month.  Hope you enjoy!!

He's back on the road and he could not be happier.  Me on the other hand, well I'm more on the nervous side.

He's more fashion conscious!!  It is the most funniest thing.  He bought new clothes since he no longer fits in any of his old stuff.  When he gets dressed he'll take a selfie and sends it to me to make sure he looks good and is well coordinated.  I'm like - dude who are you?  ha ha

*blue everything cause that's his favorite color*

Pumpkin Obsessed

#blessed

Is anyone else as excited about Fall as I am??  Yes I know we're still in August but I could not resist purchasing these beautiful pumpkins.  I probably would have bought more but I was getting the side eye from the husband so I stopped at 7 ha ha.  Last year I decided to buy some Fall decor around mid September and the shelves were cleaned out.  I mean there were things but nothing that caught my eye.  This year I was determined to get my hands on some goodies and I did.

Inadvertently my color schemed turned out to be cream and orange.  Looks good in a neutral way but I think sometime in September I'll put my orange curtains on to give the room some warmth.  I'm not done decorating, I still have to get some stuff out of storage but being that its August what I have going on right now looks pretty good.  I have a Fall look with out it screaming full on Fall.  Make sense?  Maybe not lol!

PUMPKIN HAUL

Happy 2017

Hello my beauties!! 

I hope 2017 has been nothing but blessings for you thus far, if it hasn't just know it'll get better - I PROMISE!!!!  Trust me...I know. 

 Finally a post after a quick scare.  Due to some carelessness on my part, I thought I lost my blog for good!  3 days later I'm back up and running *thank god*.  Although I do not post as often as I'd like my blog is my pride and joy!! 

As most of you know the new year means broken resolutions / promises.   Let me just name 2 most popular ones: diet and gym.   How many of us actually follow through??  Not me but I'm NOT going to lose hope HA HA HA.  My main focus for 2017 is to become a better me.  I'm focusing on my health, mind and spirit.  I'm going to try and focus on ME and not so much on everyone else's needs.  As my BFF, boo, my heart would say, "Erika has to do what Erika has to do to be happy", or something along those lines lol.  I will start doing things that'll make ME happy, be it, YouTube videos, more blogging, dance class, art, photography, etc.  

Anyways, in December I started YOGA and MEDITATION.  I love yoga so far...it is definitely a work out tho!   Whomever said yoga was easy LIED.  Liiiieeeed I tell ya lmao!!!!  I was not expecting to be as sore as I was the next morning but it gets better the more I go.  I'm not sure if all schools / yoga studios do this but we must remove our shoes upon entering, then you're greeted with a great big warming hug.  The hugging part was weird and still is.  I usually do not like to be touched, especially by strangers.  Everyone's energy is so welcoming, everyone is so calm and friendly.  I felt sooooo out of place in the beginning.  Class usually starts with a warm up, then yoga followed by meditation and breathing exercises.  After class we meet for tea time where we chat and get to know each other.  There's always calming music playing and it always smells good, like incense I think.  The vibe in this place is simply amazing, I always leave feeling so refreshed and relaxed both mentally / physically.  

This is just the beginning but I hope to continue on this journey to becoming a better me.

 As usual thank you for reading.
