    This is the month of love and we definitely got to give our roses to Angela Bassett & Courtney B. Vance. They have been together for over 20 years with a set of twins. They met at Yale School of Drama. They are two actors that always have each other back.

    I love that they support each other and whenever you see Angela, she has this big smile. This Hollywood couple is one of my favorites. Definitely a power couple. Their son happens to trend the internet but Angela and Courtney stepped right in and did what parents supposed to do. We all have our times but the love I see in them is greatness.

    This power couple have inspired us so much with their talent. That I have to give them their roses today. I hope they have many more years together and nothing but love, success and happiness. Watching Angela Bassett play her roles on films that look like she do not play lol but I know its just a role. I love to see couples that are still hanging in there together as a team.

     I love “LOVE”. What is something you would love to share about this couple? Also follow me @Cece.Atl.

    This is the month of love and we definitely got to give our roses to Snoop & Shante. They have been together since high school. I love to see them together dancing and enjoying life. Charlie Wilson has a song and the video shows part of Snoop and his wife’s wedding, and it is so sweet.

    Snoop always says his wife is his backbone, his heart and soul. He admits that he put her through so much stuff, and she stayed and worked it out. Now they are living their best life and enjoying it. A lot of relationships go through their ups and downs but that’s what makes the relationship stronger.

     I love that they are close. I always say your best friend is your soulmate. Be friends first and everything will fall in place. So today I got to give Snoop and Shante their roses and hope they have many more years of happiness and love. Hope to see more videos with them showing their love and affection for one another.  Definitely love seeing them dance together.

    I love to see couples that are still making it. I love “LOVE”. What is something you would love to share about this couple? Also follow me @Cece.Atl.

    This is the month of love and we definitely got to give our roses to Samuel L. Jackson & LaTanya Richardson Jackson. They have been together 40 plus years with one daughter. Listening to some of their interviews they have come a long way. I love that they both pushed each other to be where they are today. They told each other they were in it for the long haul and no matter what they will figure it out and look at them now.

    Samuel honored his wife noting that she will be the first woman to direct an August Wilson Play on Broadway.  This couple met in college and to me are a power couple. Samuel always talked about his addiction and how he overcame it because of his wife. They are each other’s number 1 fans. As I always say, your best friend is your soulmate. They were in the media before having an argument but what couples don’t argue? It just makes you stronger.

    Definitely power couple goals and I hope they have many more years together with happiness and love. We all know that Samuel is an awesome actor and has played some great roles. I want to give them their roses today and hope they keep inspiring others with their talents.

  • Book Lovers book by Emily Henry

    Book: Book Lovers

    Author:  Emily Henry

    By: Cece Hymes

    This book was about a lady named Nora who is complex, deep, funny and more. She is a literary agent who identifies more with the villains in romance movies than the heroines. She has a sister named Libby who swayed her to go on vacation to a small town. They make a to-do list to do before their trip ends. Her sister Libby is married with 2 kids and one on the way. Nora missed hanging out with her sister and thinks this trip is going to bring them closer together.

    When they arrive in this small town she didn’t expect to run into Charlie, the surly editor she’s avoided ever since their disastrous meeting. They email each other about books. Being in this small town they have gotten to get to know each other and see that they are alike in so many ways. They turn each other on in their own way.

    Charlie and Nora have been through a lot growing up in their lives. They seem to always put everyone first before their own happiness. They always want to make sure that everyone else is good even if they have to give up their own dreams and happiness. It’s a lot that Nora still deals with from the passing of her mom but doesn’t share with anyone until she meets Charlie.

    I like how Nora has standards and that when she sees what she wants she opens up and tells Charlie instead of playing the little game of keeping it to herself. It can be scary taking chances, but the saying goes, closed mouths don’t get fed. Libby, who is Nora’s sister, has her own agenda that Nora does not know about. Nora just thinks Libby is going through problems in her relationship. What her sister is really doing will shock you. Sometimes a small town has hidden places that can make you fall in love with it.

    I love that Nora and Charlie can talk about any and everything and feel like they can be themselves with each other. Charlie sees that Nora is everything he ever wanted and more. They have to make a decision once her vacation is over and she has to go back home to New York. Can you really have everything you really wanted? The job, the man, the city life and more. It all goes back to taking chances and not settling. You have to read the book to see what happens. I love “Love” I believe when you find it don’t let it go. True love is hard to find these days. I love to read books and I hope to find a partner that is into books like I am. It would be awesome to chat about books and other things.

    Day 8

    Q. In what ways do you need to choose yourself?

    A. I think you need to choose yourself in every way possible. You should always come first. I am learning to put myself first in every way I can. I used to put everyone else first, but times have changed and I am loving it.

     

    Q. Do you believe that opposites attract when dating? Be specific.

    A. I do and I think that everyone is different in their own way. Opposites always seem to attract in my case it balances out. To have different opinions, different looks at things. I love it.

    This is the month of love and we definitely got to give our roses to LeBron and Savannah James. They have been together since high school. They have 3 lovely kids together and just look like one happy family. Definitely power couple goals.

    I love how Savannah stays out of the social media drama and hype. You can tell she is laid back and is one of her husband’s biggest fans. I like the fact that she is real, always at the games and doesn’t need all that makeup and extra stuff to be beautiful.

    LeBron Just broke a world record so congrats to him. I love that he and Savannah always make sure that they are each other’s backbone. I never saw any of them in craziness on social media or let social media put them in the spotlight to mess with their relationship. I hope they continue to have many more years of greatness, love and happiness.

    Power couple goals and I love it. They always look happy and still have that spark after all these years. Congrats again. I want to give them their roses today and to keep inspiring others all over the world.

    This is the month of love and we definitely got to give our roses to Oprah Winfrey & Stedman Graham. They have been together over 35 years. They never married for their own personal reasons, but they have grown together, built up together, and still look to be very happy.

    Oprah motivated me to start a magazine company and to share people’s journeys and testimonies. She inspired everyone all over the world. Oprah stated that she and Stedman have a spiritual partnership. I always say that your best friend is your soulmate. Friends first and then everything else will fall in place. When I see Oprah and Stedman I see happiness and he is a great supporter. I think you should always be your partner’s number one fan.
