  • Goodbye January, Hello February: A Month of Love, Growth & New Adventures

    As January comes to an end, I can’t help but feel like time moved at its own pace—slow, steady, and full of lessons. It reminded me to appreciate the little things, embrace growth, and step forward with intention.

    Now, we welcome February—a month rich in history, love, and fresh possibilities. It’s Black History Month, a time to honor the past and celebrate the present. It’s also the season of love, not just romantic, but self-love, friendship, and new connections. Most of all, February feels like a call to adventure—a push to step outside of comfort zones and embrace new experiences.

    For me, that means continuing my journey of learning Spanish, crossing things off my bucket list, and sharing each moment along the way.

    What’s on your February list? Let’s make it a month of bold moves, beautiful memories, and boundless opportunities!

  • Samuel L. Jackson & Latanya Richardson Jackson

    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.

    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 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.

    Day 5

    Q. What is a song that instantly lifts your mood?

    A. God in Me by Mary Mary when I hear that it lifts me up every time.

    Q. How would you feel if your spouse left you to be in a same sex marriage?

    A. I would be sad and mad especially if we had been together for years. Rather it’s the same sex or not that would be hurtful. I would be going back to see why I didn’t see any signs or what made my spouse go that way. Just a lot of pain and questions to be asked.

    Day 4

     

    Q. What do you love about yourself and how did you come to appreciate these traits?

    A. I love all my traits as an adult. I love the heart that I have. I love the person that I am and how I care for and help others. I love that I try to be positive or see the positive in everything I do.

    Q. Would you date and/or marry someone whose family you do not like at all?

    A. I try to get along with everyone. I could if the family still are respectful or cordial. I couldn’t if they love Drama and love to start something. It’s so much better when everyone gets along. You marry and date the person for them, not family. If it turns to disrespect and taking sides, I rather not.

    Q. What are your top 5 core values?

    A. I would say Honesty, Respect, Integrity, Confidence and Balance. I need all these and more. Just to name a few.

    Q. Would you date someone who has different beliefs and/or religion from you?

    A. I would say it depends on the person and religion. Some people can talk about their faith and see the different points of life. Others can take it disrespectfully and it can cause a lot of issues in a relationship. It’s good to know ahead of time and to talk about these things before getting in a relationship.

  • Denzel & Paulette Washington

    Denzel Washington & Paulette Washington

    By: Cece Hymes

    This is the month of love and we definitely got to give our roses to Denzel & Paulette Washington. They have been together 39 years or more. Every relationship has its ups and downs but being able to get through it together is a plus.

    I love this couple. Did you know they first met on the set of the 1977 TV movie Wilma? Every interview I have seen they speak of each other’s greatness, and you can still see that spark between the two. Here is some of the quotes Denzel shared with us:

    ·         “The Secret To A Happy Marriage? Do Whatever Your Wife Tells You. Yes, Dear.’ And Breathe”

    ·         “A Spiritual Foundation Helps Everything, Marriage, Work, & Peace of Mind”

    This month I wanted to shout out to this couple and give them their roses and to tell them to have many many more. Thanks for showing us how a couple can manage in this industry.  It’s always good to be good friends first. They built a family and every step of the way they were each other’s number 1 fan.

    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.
