  • Midweek Reflections, Reviews & Celebrations

    Happy Wednesday, friends — we’ve officially made it to the halfway point of the week! 🎉

    January has already been full of celebrations — I don’t know about you, but it feels like Capricorn season came in strong this year. Capricorns have always been known as the “builders” of the zodiac — grounded, determined, and hardworking — so maybe that’s why the month already feels busy and full of momentum.

    And since Wednesdays are often called “hump day,” let’s add a little mid-week joy with books, movies, food, and a few birthday shout-outs from Cece in the City.

    📚 Cece’s Book Corner

    I Found You — Lisa Jewell

    Let me tell you — this one pulled me in fast.

    I finished I Found You in just two days because every chapter felt like another twist I had to uncover. Lisa Jewell has a way of peeling back layers slowly, reminding us that one choice can ripple through many lives and change everything.

    It’s suspenseful, emotional, and full of “wait… WHAT just happened?” moments.
    If you love stories with mystery, secrets, and characters you keep thinking about afterward — add this one to your reading list 👀

    Check it out here: https://amzn.to/4psyhqi

    Fun fact: psychological suspense as a genre really took off in the late 20th century — and authors like Lisa Jewell have carried that legacy by blending mystery with deep emotional storytelling. That’s probably why her books feel real… even when they’re chilling.

    🎬 Cece On The Scenes

    Finding Joy — A Tyler Perry Film

    Sometimes “finding joy” isn’t about laughter… it’s about facing what hurt you and choosing peace anyway.

    This film has those classic Tyler Perry layers — faith, family, healing, and personal growth. It’s reflective, emotional, and definitely one of those movies that makes you think about your own journey.

    Streaming now on Prime Video.

    My rating? 3 out of 5
    There were a few moments where I was like… “Okay now, really?” 🤦🏽‍♀️😂

    But it still delivers a meaningful message, so check it out if you’re in a reflective mood.

    A little history note: Tyler Perry built his film legacy right here in Georgia — turning an old military base into one of the largest film studios in the country. Atlanta really became a powerhouse in entertainment because of creators like him.

    🎉 Birthday Love & Gratitude

    This week was full of special birthdays, and I want to send some love:

    💙 Happy Birthday to my Uncle — he’s been going through a lot lately, so please keep him in your prayers as he continues to heal and grow stronger.

    🤍 Happy Heavenly Birthday to my Aunt — forever loved, forever missed.

    🎂 Happy Birthday to Ms. Juicy (Baby) — my long-time friend, my talking-trash buddy, and someone who can always make me laugh.

    🌄 And Happy Birthday to Anika — from mountains to trails to unforgettable adventures, thank you for all the memories we’ve shared.

    Each of them holds a special place in my heart — and I hope their birthdays were the best one yet.

    Birthdays have always been more than just another year — in many cultures, they’re seen as milestones of wisdom, growth, and celebration of life’s journey… and I love honoring that.

    🍽️ Cece Eats — Foodie Stop of the Week

    This week I stopped by Trend Urban Café in Stone Mountain — and listen… that Salmon Special with rice was EVERYTHING. 😋

    Big portions, great flavor, and the best part — they offer both vegan and non-vegan options, so everyone can enjoy something.

    If you’ve never been, add it to your must-try list — definitely a local gem worth visiting.

    That’s my mid-week update ✨
    I’ll be back on Sunday with more adventures, food finds, books, and Cece on the Scenes moments.

    Stay tuned — and thanks for rolling through life with me here at Cece in the City 💛

  • Trying New Things — Old Favorites, New Adventures

    Hey everyone — hope you’re having an amazing day! I’m loving that the weather is creeping back into the 60s and 70s this week. It feels like the perfect time to step into something new… even if the “new” is something that’s been around forever for everyone else but me 😄

    This year is all about trying new things, revisiting classics, and exploring places I’ve somehow skipped over — and whew, I finally checked one off the list…

    🟠 My First Trip to Hooters — with a Little History

    So after all these years, I finally went to Hooters.

    For the longest time, my thoughts were pretty simple: “It’s a sports bar… with women… and hooters.” 😂

    But I decided to give it a try — and honestly, it wasn’t bad at all. Lots of TVs, lively energy, and yes… the ladies didn’t really have “big hooters,” it’s more about the iconic uniform and brand style. My waitress even wrote her name on a napkin — old-school Hooters touch!

    I ordered tater tots and shrimp (which were just okay), and my daughter got a steak-and-cheese sub that she said was really good.

    A little Hooters history:
    Hooters first opened in the early 1980s and grew into one of the most recognizable sports-bar brands in the U.S. It became known for its wings, game-day atmosphere, and its signature “Hooters Girl” concept — which has been part of American pop-culture debates, nostalgia, and sports dining culture for decades.

    I’ve heard a lot of locations have been closing recently, so I’m actually glad I got to experience it at least once.

    🍕 Italian Pie — Big Slices & Throwback Vibes

    Next adventure this week: Italian Pie.

    I’d heard about the big pizza slices — so of course I had to try one. I went with sausage, and while the sausage looked a little funny 😂 it actually wasn’t bad at all. I also grabbed BBQ wings to go with

    it.

    A little history note:
    Italian Pie has roots in casual neighborhood-style pizza culture — places built around family recipes, oversized slices, and that classic “grab a slice and relax” feel that’s been part of American pizza dining since the mid-20th century.

    Have you tried either of these spots? I know a lot of you probably have — but hey, they’re new to me… and that’s what this year is all about!

    🎬 Cece On The Scenes — Watch of the Week: Eden

    This week’s watch was Eden — based on a true story.

    A couple leaves German society in 1929 and escapes to an uninhabited island, looking for paradise… but things begin to fall apart once others arrive.

    • Genre: Thriller / Based on Real Life
    • Year: 2025
    • Duration: 2hr 9m
    • Director: Ron Howard
    • Cast includes Jude Law, Ana de Armas, Vanessa Kirby & more

    I give it 3 out of 5 — very interesting perspective, but I personally could never imagine living on an island like that back then. Today’s islands? Totally different story 😅

    📚 **Book of the Week — South of the Buttonwood Tree

    by Heather Webber**

    First book I finished in 2026 — and the second book I’ve read by Heather Webber — and I’m loving her writing so far. Definitely a 4 out of 5 from me.

    A touch of story history + themes:
    The book blends Southern folklore, magical realism, and family secrets that stretch across generations. It reminds you how some secrets can cause pain — but also have a way of pulling people closer and helping them heal.

    Check it out here:
    https://amzn.to/3LplDKK

    💌 This Year’s Thank-You Tributes

    This year, I’m sending thank-you messages to women who inspire and motivate me.

    This week’s shout-outs went to:

    🌟 Michelle Obama
    Reading her books reminded me of her authenticity, strength, and ability to speak truth with grace — especially Becoming.

    🎉 My good friend DJ Ms. Eclectic — Happy Birthday!
    She’s been an incredible friend — inspiring, hardworking, supportive, and full of positive vibes and good energy.

    Grateful for women who pour into others without even realizing how impactful they are.

    Well — that’s it for now. This year I’ve got a long bucket list, lots of hidden gems to explore, and plenty of “new to me” experiences coming your way.

    Stay tuned — and keep traveling, tasting, learning, and living with Cece in The City 💛

    It’s a fun, light-hearted kid-style movie — but honestly still a great watch! I’d give it a 4 out of 5. I really enjoyed it — check it out and tell me what you think!

    📚 Book of the Week: Midnight at the Blackbird Cafe by Heather Webber

  • 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

  • End-of-Year Energy: Action Movies, Manifesting & Atlanta Nights

    Hey hey everyone ✨

    I hope you’re having a beautiful December. With only a couple of weeks left before the new year, it’s that reflective, exciting space where we start thinking about goals, ideas, bucket lists, and what we want to carry (or leave) behind. So let me catch you up on a little of everything — movies, books, city vibes, and giving back — Cece style.

    🎬 Cece on the Scenes: Movie Night Catch-Up

    I finally watched The Marksman, an older movie but brand new to me — and honestly, it surprised me in the best way. Starring Liam Neeson, the film follows a quiet rancher who suddenly finds himself protecting a young boy from cartel assassins. What starts as a simple act of kindness turns into a gritty, high-stakes road trip across the Southwest.

    The action is steady, the tension is real, and it has that neo-Western feel that blends heart with hard choices. Since I’m always here for a movie with action, I’m giving this one a solid 3 out of 5 stars ⭐️.

    Even though it originally dropped in 2021, The Marksman recently found new life on streaming and hit #1 on Netflix, proving that some stories just need the right moment to shine. Definitely worth adding to your watch list.

    📖 Cece Book Club: Manifesting with Intention

    Next up — Cece Book Club ✨📚

    I finally finished How to Manifest: Make Your Dreams a Reality in 40 Days by Laura Chung. This one took me a little while to complete, but that was part of the process. The goal is one chapter a day for 40 days, and it really encourages you to slow down, reflect, and be intentional.

    Journaling and manifesting have truly become a part of my life, so this book showed up right on time. It’s not about rushing — it’s about alignment. If you’re focused on growth, clarity, and calling in the life you desire, this is definitely a great read to add to your list.

    🏙️ Cece in the City: Dancing, Downtown, & Me Time

    Now let’s talk Cece in the City 💃🏽✨

    I had the chance to step out for Old School Saturday, and while I hadn’t been in a while, it reminded me why those nights are always a vibe. Good music, good energy, and even better company. I love being around friends who actually dance, laugh, and enjoy the moment — not just sit around people-watching.

    The event was hosted at the Hyatt Regency in Atlanta, which is such a beautiful hotel and always adds to the experience.

    This weekend also gave me something just as important — me time. I took a day to relax, think, and journal. No rush, no noise — just space to reflect. Time is flying, and with 2026 on the horizon, it was exactly what my spirit needed.

    ❤️ Giving Back: The 6th Annual Giveback

    As we head into the holidays, giving back remains close to my heart.

    It’s that time of year again — The 6th Annual Giveback for the Unhoused Community, led by DJ Ms. Eclectic, who shows up every single year with love and purpose.

    On Christmas Day, essential bags will be distributed, including:

    • Wet wipes
    • Tissue
    • Hand warmers (Hot Hands)
    • Water
    • Socks
    • Feminine hygiene products
    • And so much more

    If you’d like to donate items or contribute financially, you can do so here: Cash App: $EclecticMusicEnt

    Thank you for being a blessing and helping spread love during the season that matters most.

    ✨ Stay tuned for more Cece in the City — more stories, more gems, and more moments worth sharing. And tell me… what are your goals or bucket-list ideas as we head into the new year?

  • Thanksgiving Reflections & A New Journey Rising

    Happy Thanksgiving, beautiful people!


    I hope this season fills your heart with peace, joy, and so much happiness. Today is a perfect reminder to slow down, breathe, and be thankful for where we are, what we’ve overcome, and what’s still on the way. 🙏✨

    Now let’s slide over to Cece on the Scenes

    I got a chance to watch the Lisa Lisa documentary on Netflix. She was the first Latina artist to hit No. 1 on the R&B charts and the first Latina performer on Broadway with a major presence—truly a pioneer. I learned so much about her journey in the industry, her struggles, and her powerful fight through cancer. Sending all the prayers up for her continued healing and strength as she celebrates being cancer-free.

    I’d give the documentary a 3 out of 5—informative, heartfelt, and a real reminder of how music shapes us. And yes… “I Wonder If I Take You Home” still sits pretty on my playlist today!

  • Happy Friday, Friends!

    Whew—what a week it’s been! But here we are, standing strong at the end of it, and I’m grateful we made it. I’ve got a few things on my heart and mind today, so let’s dive in.

    Where It Begins Magazine – 7 Years of Stories

    Seven years ago, Where It Begins was just a dream—an idea sparked by my belief that everyone has a testimony worth sharing. I never imagined it would grow into seven years of media coverage, interviews, and highlighting voices from all walks of life. My motto has always been: “We all have a story to tell. It all begins with you.”

    To this day, the magazine continues to be a platform for business owners, artists, authors, and dreamers. If you’d like to promote your business, we have ad space available. If you’ve ever dreamed of being on the cover, now’s your chance—we’re running specials!And yes, we’re also offering discounted blog features. Your story matters, and I’d be honored to share it.

    Email: cecewibnet@gmail.com

    Book Spotlight – “Matriarch” by Tina Knowles

    I recently finished Matriarch by Tina Knowles, a book I’ve seen floating around in a few of my book clubs. I’ll admit—it started off a little slow for me, maybe because it goes all the way back to her childhood. But once it picked up, I couldn’t put it down.

    Through her words, I got a deeper look into her life: her marriages, her business ventures like owning salons, her health battles, and her role as a mother—not just to her famous daughters but to others she’s taken in and raised. Her resilience is inspiring. She’s faced so much yet continues to move forward with grace and strength. If you enjoy memoirs and women’s empowerment stories, definitely give this one a read.

    Movie Review – “My Oxford Year” & A Personal Reflection

    Y’all know I love my Cece on the Scenes movie reviews, and this week I watched My Oxford Year. It’s a love story, but it’s not just hearts and flowers—it’s emotional and will hit you in the feels.

    The movie stirred something in me because lately, I’ve been seeing more and more people battling cancer. Some survive. Some don’t. My own mother fought cancer but sadly passed away in 2017. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of her—I even keep pictures in my room so she’s the first face I see in the morning, watching over me.

    This movie reminded me of the families, friends, and loved ones who are left behind. The way cancer changes everything. It’s been on my heart to do more for cancer patients and kids, in honor of my mom. If you’ve seen the movie, let me know your thoughts—and in the meantime, please check in on your loved ones.

    Life, the Economy, and Survival Mode

    Can we talk about the economy for a second? Because it feels like everything is going up—gas, groceries, bills—you name it. I’ve been talking to so many people lately who say, “Life is lifing!” And I feel that.

    Between bills, car issues, and family needs, I haven’t even been able to properly pamper myself in a while. These days, one income just doesn’t cut it—we have to create multiple streams. But if you’re reading this and you’re going through something, know you are not alone. My prayers are with you, and I truly believe better days are ahead.

    Candlelight Conversations with Cece

    On August 1, I launched Candlelight Conversations with Cece—a short, uplifting audio series that a friend described as “mini therapy sessions.” Each episode is designed to offer encouragement, reflection, and a little light in your day.

    You can listen on Spotify or watch on YouTube (links below). If you know someone who needs encouragement or loves journaling prompts, please share it with them.

    My 50 States Journey (and a Birthday Coming Up!)

    I’m starting fresh with my 50 states journey. So far, I’ve done Georgia and Tennessee. Next month is my birthday, and while I usually celebrate out of the country, this year I’m staying stateside—but I’ll be knocking out State 3 (and maybe State 4!)

    I also came across a fun “alphabet challenge” that I’m putting my own twist on, so stay tuned for that.

    If no one has told you today: You are special. You are loved.
    Enjoy your Friday, breathe in the weekend, and stay tuned for more.

  • Goodbye June, Hello July  Happy 4th of July!

    Waving goodbye to rainy June and welcoming in sizzling July with open arms—and a neck fan on standby (yes, I ordered mine and I’m not ashamed!). Here is the link if you want to get one from amazon https://amzn.to/3I9t333 Can you believe we’re already halfway through the year?

    June Recap: Books, Movies & More

    Our Cece Book Club pick for June was Rock Paper Scissors by Alice Feeney, and whew—what a read! Twisty, suspenseful, and definitely discussion-worthy.

  • Celebrating Fathers, Freedom & Favorites – A June to Remember

    Hey everyone! I hope all the amazing fathers out there had a wonderful Father’s Day — you truly deserve to be celebrated. 💙Even though my dad lives 10–12 hours away, I still found a way to send him some love. I gifted him a neck fan (you know the kind that wraps around your neck and blows cool air) — perfect for someone who’s always walking or out in the yard during these hot summer days. He told me, “This is just what I needed,” and that warmed my heart. Sometimes it’s the simple, thoughtful gifts that make the biggest difference.

    Speaking of meaningful days… today is Juneteenth — a powerful reminder of freedom, resilience, and how far we’ve come. On June 19, 1865, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, enslaved African Americans in Texas were finally informed of their freedom. It’s a day to reflect, educate, and celebrate. So tell me — how are you honoring Juneteenth today?

    While you’re soaking in the summer vibes, I’ve been busy doing a little bit of everything:
    📚 Book Review: I just finished A Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry (yes, I adore her books!). This story follows two writers battling for the same book deal — and while they’re supposed to be competitors, sparks begin to fly. Of course, there’s a twist! If you love romantic tension and creative journeys, you’ll want to grab this one.

    🎬 Movie Review: I watched The Last Bullet recently — and as an action lover, I gave it a solid 4 out of 5. It kept me on the edge of my seat!

    🌮 Foodie Find: Finally tried Rreal Tacos in Lawrenceville, GA — it’s a new location and super cute inside. They also have a patio space if you like dining outdoors. The tacos were flavorful, though my daughter was a bit bummed they didn’t have lettuce. Minor gnat situation aside, the customer service was great and the 30-minute wait was expected with it being a new location. If you’ve eaten there, let me know your thoughts!

    Also, don’t forget — I offer product reviews, book reviews, movie reviews, and business shoutouts. I’m currently running special rates this month, so if you’re interested, email me at cecewibnet@gmail.com and let’s work together.

  • Goodbye May, Hello June: Halfway Through the Year Already?!

    Time is truly flying—can you believe we’re already halfway through the year? As we wave goodbye to May and welcome June with open arms, I’m feeling reflective, inspired, and ready to keep the momentum going.

    We wrapped up our May Cece Book Club discussion today, diving into Questions I Want to Ask You by Michelle Falkoff. It was a short read, but packed with emotion and thought-provoking moments. I gave it a solid 4 out of 5 stars—a great pick to close out the month!

    https://amzn.to/3FB36Z6

    Kicking off June, I watched The Wild Robot, an Oscar-nominated animated gem featuring the voice of Lupita Nyong’o as Roz, a robot who finds herself becoming a surrogate mother to a little gosling. It’s a beautiful story about connection, growth, and love in the most unexpected forms. If you haven’t seen it yet, definitely add it to your watchlist!

    Love poetry? I’ve got something for you. Show some love and grab a copy of “Poems of Passion & Purpose“—a moving collection that deserves a spot on your shelf. Available now on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3HgFp8M
