Q. Winning?
What can I say about winning? Well one time I did win on a lottery ticket for $100 and I barely played the lottery. Also, I feel like I am winning when it comes to building my brand and networking. I am consistent with it. I like to think if I speak it and manifest it then it will happen. I am going to manifest and say I am a winner, winner, winner.

Book: Our Gen
Author: Diane Mckinney-Whetstone
By: Cece Hymes
This book was pretty good. It was about 3 Ladies Tish, Cynthia, and Lavia. They all had a past that they were not trying to share. They wanted to keep their secrets but still found themselves boding like sisterhood. Cynthia moved to the Gen she didn’t want to give up her old house and start somewhere new but she did for her family. Tish changed her name because of the embarrassment she heard about her dad. Tavia was holding back her culture and where she was from.
These 3 ladies became friends. They meet up regularly and smoke, line dance and debate on things. The gen in where they live becomes the catalyst for secrets to be exposed. They also had a friend Bloc which also had deep secrets that he needed to share. Bloc was into Tish and Cynthia. When he looked at Cynthia it was different. It was like she reminded him of ways like his mom for him to come out and tell the truth. He just wanted to be honest with her.
It was crazy that Cynthia’s past can be relatable to Trish’s past, and they don’t even know. They all help each other in different ways to share their secrets so that they can deal with them. It’s nothing like finding great friends and having a bond. Friends can have bad times, happy times, sad times and fun times. It shows all that with these groups of friends.
Make sure to check out the book and let me know what you think. Also Join Cece Book Club on IG and Facebook.

Q. Losing?
So, for the month of June and July of this year all my events got cancelled, I felt like I was on a losing streak. Event Tickets that weren’t selling, I was supposed to go on tour that didn’t happen. Even for August trying to do good dead with a cookout and school supplies giveaways. That got canceled because of the weather and every weekend it just rained. I am just going to pray on this and hope it gets better. I do not like this losing streak back to winning that’s the mindset that I am on Win Win Win
