  • A Season of Gratitude, Good Vibes & Healing

    Hey everyone!
    I hope you’re doing well and gearing up for the holidays and the exciting new year ahead. This season always brings a mix of reflection, gratitude, and togetherness—and I want to take a moment to share a few highlights and heartfelt thoughts.

    As we think about the holidays, I’m incredibly thankful for the opportunity we had to partner with DJ Ms. Eclectic for the Good Vibes Giveback for the Season. Together, we were able to bless over 60 people, and that alone made this season extra meaningful. Huge thanks to her for including us and allowing Cece in the City/Where It Begins to be a part of spreading love, joy, and good vibes to others. Giving back always reminds me what this season is truly about.

    Now let’s get into Cece on the Scene 🎬
    This weekend, I finally made it to the movies to see The Housemaid. I had already read the book—and it was really good—so I was excited to see how the movie would compare. And honestly, it didn’t disappoint. I haven’t been to the movies in a long time, but AMC made the experience extra enjoyable with their comfy recliner seats and beautiful interior. If you haven’t seen it yet, I definitely recommend checking it out—especially if you’re a bookworm like me. I’m giving it 4 out of 5 on the scenes ✔️

    Speaking of books, let’s talk about my latest read 📚
    I recently finished All the Way to the River by Elizabeth Gilbert. Now, Eat, Pray, Love will always be a favorite of mine (both the book and the movie), but this one was very different. This book dives deep into her life, her friendship, and struggles with addiction. It was sad, raw, and powerful all at once. While it wasn’t an easy read, it was meaningful, and I’d give it 3 out of 5. Still worth checking out if you enjoy emotional and reflective storytelling.

    The holidays are also a tender time for me. I lost my mom around this time in 2017, and not having her here during the holidays is always hard. There’s a sadness that comes with the season, but I choose to focus on gratitude. I’m thankful for the memories, the pictures, and the love that never fades. She may be gone, but she lives in me, and I truly believe she’s my angel watching over me.

    As we move through this season, I encourage you to be thankful for life, cherish your moments, and treasure your family, friends, and loved ones. Time is precious, and love is everything.

    Thank you for continuing to follow along with Cece in the City.
    Stay tuned for more, and from my heart to yours—Happy Holidays ✨

  • Love & Positive Vibes

    Greetings, amazing community members!

    Happy February, the month of love and self-discovery! As we dive into the second month of the year, let’s take a moment to reflect on the incredible experiences we shared in January.

    Our New Year kicked off with a bang as we embarked on a journey of self-reflection with Vision Jars. Each jar held the potential for personal growth and exciting adventures. I’m thrilled to share a glimpse into my own jar revelations. For my self-love goal, I set my sights on enhancing my blogging skills – a journey that promises exciting discoveries and creative expression.

    Speaking of adventures, I treated myself to a cinematic delight by fulfilling my jar’s directive to take myself to the movies. “The Color Purple” musical was an absolute gem, and if you’re a fan of musicals and the classic movie, you’re in for a treat! The stellar performances left me in awe, and I’m sure you’d love it too.

    Another jar revelation led me to engage in meaningful outreach. I spent time at a local senior home, contributing to their community and making lasting connections. Bingo with the residents brought joy and laughter, creating memories that warm my heart.

    As we step into this new month, the anticipation builds for fresh goals and self-love adventures. If you’re feeling inspired, we invite you to join us on this exciting journey! Share your aspirations and let’s support each other in making February extraordinary.

    On a different note, I’ve been relishing my time at Crunch in Tucker – a fantastic gym where I’ve been breaking a sweat and enjoying invigorating Zumba classes. Trust me; it’s a fitness haven worth exploring!

    Last but certainly not least, our book club delved into the captivating world of “All the Light We Cannot See” in January. If you haven’t joined CeCe’s Book Club yet, you’re missing out on thought-provoking reads and engaging discussions. Find us on Facebook and Instagram for more details!

    Let’s make February a month filled with love, positivity, and exciting endeavors. Join us on this journey, and together we’ll make it extraordinary!
