  • ✨ Happy Sunday, everyone! ✨

    I hope y’all are doing amazing. We’re still rolling through my birthday month 🎉 (you know I celebrate the whole month!), and even though I haven’t done much, I’ve been preparing for a brand-new chapter and journey in my life. Let’s catch up on this week!

    🍔 First stop: Smashd Burgers and Bourbon
    Stone Mountain just got a new gem — Smashd Burgers and Bourbon! I had to check it out, and let me tell you… the French Toast Patty Melt was everything! Sweet, savory, and so good. The onion rings? Huge and crispy, just the way I like them. Definitely worth the visit if you’re in the area. Check them out 👉 www.smashdbb.com

    👩‍👧 Challenge Time with My Daughter
    Me and one of my daughters started our own little challenge — reading a manifesting book together 📖✨. That inspired us to take it further with a camo-style day (yes, we rocked camouflage fits!) and even made digital vision boards. Reminder: it’s never too late to create a vision for your life. I love challenges that bring positivity and creativity into the mix.

    🎬 Movie Night: Cece on the Scenes
    This week’s watch was Abducted at an HBCU: A Black Girl Missing. The story tackled trafficking — such an important topic that definitely needs more conversation. I’ll be real, the quality gave more Tubi vibes than Netflix, but the message was powerful. I’d rate it 3 out of 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐. Oh — and I spotted someone I actually know in the film (shoutout and congrats to him 👏).

    🕯️ Candlelight Conversations with Cece
    You know I set the vibe right during my journaling sessions. This week, I’ve been loving:

    • Candle-lite Creamy Vanilla Swirl (18 oz, up to 110 hrs burn time) – cozy, sweet, perfect for fall nights. 👉 Grab it here
    • M&SENSE Coffee Cappucina Candle (11.3 oz soy wax, 70 hrs burn time) – smells like a coffee shop and fuels my creativity. 👉 Get it here

    📚 Book Club Pick
    For September, Cece Book Club is diving into An Unlikely Story by Ali Rosen. Still time to join us if you want in! Grab your copy 👉 Amazon Link

    💻 Quick Plug
    Don’t forget — blog features are $100 and Where It Begins magazine covers are $500. Let’s make magic together ✨.

    That’s the rundown for now — but stay tuned. More fun, fashion, books, candles, and adventures coming this week and next.

  • Happy National Pie Day

    My bestie and I have been celebrating fun national holidays and taking on challenges together, even though we’re miles apart. It’s a great way to stay connected and add a little joy to our days!

    Since it’s National Pie Day, I decided to grab a slice at work, where they sell vegan pies—cherry and apple. Of course, the last apple slice was gone (my favorite), so I went with cherry. Not my top choice, but I gave it a try, and hey, it’s all about celebrating and trying new things, right?

    Now I’m curious—what’s your favorite pie? Do you join in on quirky national holidays like this? And do you and your bestie do fun challenges to stay connected?

    If you’re a pie lover, don’t miss out—grab a slice and enjoy today!

    Do you believe that love has to be mutual?

    I believe it should be mutual if you in a relationship longterm. It dont have to be. I think sometimes people take longer than others and one may love while the other may just like or havent got there yet. Just depends on the status.

  • We All Have Our Own Challenges

    We All Have Our Own Challenges

    Your hardships may look different than someone’s else, but they are not better or worse. If you could experience everyone else’s problems for just a few minutes, you’d quickly take yours back. Each of us will experience the grief of loss, the thrill of love, the devastating of not belonging,  and the healing of friendship. Others may not experience them in the exact same ways as you do, but their experiences are no less real or powerful than yours. Don’t compare your problems to those of others, because we all have our own heavy burdens to carry.

    If you could ask God questions, what would you want to know?
