    Movie: My Place or Mine

    By: Cece Hymes

    Got a chance to watch this movie on Netflix. It was about Debbie and Peter, they hooked up 20 years ago one time. Peter told Debbie he wasn’t ready for a relationship. So, they become best friends. Peter had moved away to New York While Debbie was in LA. Within the 20 years Debbie has a son and is married she gets a divorce but her life is based around her son.

    Debbie has to go away to take a final in New York her babysitter cancels on her so Peter decides to come and babysit her son for a week. They swap houses and lives for one week. They discover what they think they want but might not be what they really need.

    My motto is always your best friend is your soulmate. So many people are scared to take that jump because they think it will mess up their friendship, some people settle in relationships not happy just because they have kids together. Can you imagine having a best friend that’s the opposite sex that you can communicate about everything and also be different from one another. It takes that balance.

    We as people ignore the signs and spend our lives looking for happiness when it is right under our nose. I enjoyed this movie, it showed what true friends are like and taking chances. It also showed that when you have great people in your life don’t let them go. Nothing beats a failure but to try new things out to see what makes you happy. It also tells you to be honest with yourself and speak up. Things could be so different in life if you wouldn’t hold out on things.

    Debbie and Peter needed that week to live each other’s life so that they could push each other for greatness. Peter helped out with showing her son a new life and new things and Debbie pushed Peter’s book that he always wanted to get published but never pushed it.

    Great movie on Netflix if you watched it let me know what you think. If you haven’t, check it out.

  • Eat Pray Love Film

    Movie: Eat Pray Love

    By: Cece Hymes

    This movie came out back in 2010. I am just now watching it and it was good. I love Julie Roberts. She is a great actor. This film was about a lady named Liz that thought she had everything she ever wanted in life, a home, a husband, a great career. She finds herself not happy. She wants to find out what is important to her and what makes her happy. She gets divorced and then goes to travel to different countries to figure out life.

    Liz travels to Italy, India and Bali and learns things on her journey. She meets new friends, learns to meditate and finds she loves to eat. She still has feelings and can’t seem to get over the pain of leaving her husband. She also helps people on her journey. She makes others happy while trying to figure out what makes her happy. She steps out of her comfort zone and tries new foods, studies a new language and reads and learns new cultures.

    I would love to travel to different places and to learn how other cultures live and see things. I started a new journey of mine to educate myself more on the world and what is right where I am. I want to travel to 50 states and different countries and at least do 3 to 5 things in each state.

    Watching this movie inspired me to continue my journey and not give up. To learn and listen. To meet new people and meditate. Also, on her journey she opens up again to date. She was scared to open her heart because she gets in deep when she is in a relationship and thinks she will lose herself. Sometimes people can forget who they are when they get involved with someone. Nothing like giving it a try you never know what it will bring.

    Great movie on Netflix if you watched it let me know what you think. If you haven’t, check it out. It is based on a true story of Elizabeth Gilbert’s personal experience.

    This is the month of love and we definitely got to give our roses to Angela Bassett & Courtney B. Vance. They have been together for over 20 years with a set of twins. They met at Yale School of Drama. They are two actors that always have each other back.

    I love that they support each other and whenever you see Angela, she has this big smile. This Hollywood couple is one of my favorites. Definitely a power couple. Their son happens to trend the internet but Angela and Courtney stepped right in and did what parents supposed to do. We all have our times but the love I see in them is greatness.

    This power couple have inspired us so much with their talent. That I have to give them their roses today. I hope they have many more years together and nothing but love, success and happiness. Watching Angela Bassett play her roles on films that look like she do not play lol but I know its just a role. I love to see couples that are still hanging in there together as a team.

     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 Snoop & Shante. They have been together since high school. I love to see them together dancing and enjoying life. Charlie Wilson has a song and the video shows part of Snoop and his wife’s wedding, and it is so sweet.

    Snoop always says his wife is his backbone, his heart and soul. He admits that he put her through so much stuff, and she stayed and worked it out. Now they are living their best life and enjoying it. A lot of relationships go through their ups and downs but that’s what makes the relationship stronger.

     I love that they are close. I always say your best friend is your soulmate. Be friends first and everything will fall in place. So today I got to give Snoop and Shante their roses and hope they have many more years of happiness and love. Hope to see more videos with them showing their love and affection for one another.  Definitely love seeing them dance together.

    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.

    By: Cece Hymes

    This is the month of love and we definitely got to give our roses to Donnie & Pamela Simpson.  They have been together 47 years or more. That is a long time, but they still seem very happy. Donnie Simpson always talks about his wife on the radio and in interviews. I like that he includes her in everything.

    I had a chance to interview him and have him on the Cover of one of my Magazines. That was a happy moment for me because I am from D.C. I read on one of Donnie post on IG where he stated on their anniversary:

    “Today is a very special day in my life. It was 50 years ago today that I asked Pam to “Go with me.” I didn’t know where we were going and I’m not sure we’re there yet, but I do know that I’ve loved the journey”

    I love to see relationships that’s been together for a long time. This day and time don’t last long. Couple Goals for real. Every relationship has its ups and downs, but they managed for 5 decades. I always say that your soulmate is your best friend. I know being in the music industry can be hard but this couple made it work and for that I want to give them their roses.
