This month, I want to highlight and support some of the incredible people I’ve met and their powerful books that I’ve had the pleasure of reading. As a devoted bookworm, it’s an honor to share these stories and the journeys behind them with you.
One standout read is Through the Pain I Rise: Let’s Talk… by Deliqua Isom. This book moved me deeply, delving into her personal experiences and triumphs. Deliqua’s story is raw, inspiring, and full of resilience. I felt an overwhelming urge to hug her after reading it, as her words resonated on such a profound level.
I also had the privilege of interviewing Deliqua, where she shared even more about her life and the message behind her book. Be sure to check out the interview for an even deeper insight into her incredible journey.

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!
