    Alicia Keys & Swizz Beatz

    This is the month of love and we definitely got to give our roses to Alicia Keys & Swizz Beatz. They have been together for 10 plus years. They met when they were teenagers in New York City. I love this couple and the way they look at each other with smiles. I read Alicia Keys’ book and I love the woman that she became. Swizz is laid back and you can see how they both have matured and grown together as one of my favorite couples.

    I saw in an interview or video that they barely argue. They talk to each other and that’s what couples need, that great communication. They inspire a lot of couples, and I love that they are each other’s number 1 fan. They support each other and they also step out of the box and try new things. You always see them being open-minded to what each other wants to try.

    I love the song Blended families and how they blended their families together to be happy. I hope they continue to be blessed and share many more years. Keep inspiring the world with great music and showing love.

    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 Ice Cube & Kimberly Woodruff. They have been together for 30 or more years.  Ice cube said he saw her on the escalator in the mall and knew he wanted his now wife. Sometimes you just know. They have five kids together and are still holding on.

    Ice Cube shared with the world some things that made it work in their relationship is that:

    “I respect my wife and she respect me”

    “It’s a true partnership”

    “It’s all about keeping it fresh”

    “Keep up your P’s and Q’s and keep each other happy.

    I also love how his son is in the industry following his dad’s footsteps and being a great actor. I like that he has been a great role model for his family.

    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.

  • Merry Christmas

    Merry Christmas

    By: Cece Hymes

    Today is Christmas. Some people do not celebrate it, and some do. For me it’s about love and spending time with family and friends. I am usually sad around the holidays. My mom passed away 5 years ago on December 22 which is close to the holidays. I miss her dearly, but my kids bring me joy and happiness. Thankful for another day and glad to have love all around.

    Treasure every minute you have and stay warm. It’s been cold these last couple of days, the coldest it’s been all year. Also, I am thankful and glad we could bless others. We blessed over 70 plus families this year for our 3rd annual Christmas giveaway. We also blessed some prisoners with cards, coloring books, puzzles and more. Lastly, we were able to bless a senior home with Christmas bags. So, just thankful we were able to bless others in a time like this.

    2022 has been a rough year for everyone but we always seem to still be able to be a blessing and be positive in the journey that we are on.

    Happy Holidays everyone, enjoy your day and stay warm. 

  • The Best of Me Movie

    Movie: The Best of Me

    By: Cece Hymes

    I love a good book or movie about love. Everyone wants love but to have your best friend and be in love with them is a different kind of love. My motto is that your best friend is your soulmate. This movie was a good movie, it was emotional but good.

    It was about Amanda and Dawson. They went to high school together. Dawson lived with his dad, which the dad didn’t care much about him. He would beat Dawson and didn’t want him going to school. Amanda saw a lot in Dawson and did things to get his attention because she liked him. Dawson runs away and ends up sleeping in a garage where Turk stayed. Turk is an older man that lives alone. His wife passed away and Dawson ended up becoming the son he never had.

    Dawson and Amanda fall in love and become the best of friends. She pushed him onto so many levels. No amount of money or anything can keep them apart until something bad happens. Dawson had to go away for 8 years in prison. He didn’t want Amanda to put her life on hold for him. He wanted her to live her life and not wait on him. He cuts off all visitation with her that breaks both of their hearts.

    21 years have passed, and Turk passed away. He leaves everything to Amanda and Dawson. They hadn’t seen each other for 21 years. Amanda has had 2 kids and gotten married. When Amanda and Dawson have to pack up Turk house, old sparks come back. They never stop loving each other. They were each other’s soulmates and best friends. The type of love they had is hard to find. When they rekindle it’s like it may be too late. She hasn’t been this happy in a long time. When you find someone like that it’s hard to find again. We as people end up settling in a relationship for years with a person we love but not a person we are in love with. You never forget your first love.

    I hate that kids must go through a lot of pain with their parents. Some parents do not deserve to be parents. I don’t want to give the whole movie away, but it is emotional and good. If you like love movies like me. Make sure to watch this on Netflix. Tell me what you think of the movie.

  • Dreaming of a Perfect Love

    Dreaming of a Perfect Love

    When I look at the title perfect love- Is there a perfect love? I don’t think anything is perfect, but Love is passionate. We all can dream of a perfect love and how we want a fairytale. I am single and looking for a Love. I can picture travelling all around the world, trying new things and restaurants. I love to just live life.

    A Perfect Love for me is definitely having a great bond and great communication. Having my number one supporter and fan. One that’s a protector and loves me for me. For me communication is number one. If you can’t communicate then the relationship is not going to be strong. It’s so many things that I want to do with my future husband. I have a bucket list that I am working on.

    2023 is right around the corner and I am looking for love and happiness. I am going to get out more and enjoy life. I am looking for my perfect love. They say dreams come true so let’s see if mine comes true.

  • From Scratch

    Tv Series: From Scratch

    By: Cece Hymes

    I usually don’t like watching series, but everyone was talking about this T.V. series, and I love a good love story. When I saw this, it made me so emotional. It’s about an artist that finds romance with a chef in Italy. When it’s time to go back home she brings him back also. He finds that the U.S. is different and it’s very hard for me. Her family treats him badly and was very rude at the beginning. They learn to go through the struggle but to do it together. The love that they have for one another is real. She works hard and he does also. They are finally able to buy a house.

    His family disowns him, but he misses his family, but he sneaks to keep in touch with his sister and mom when the dad is not around. He wants to change this restaurant round and do things like they do in Italy because he knows the food is bad, they’re at the moment. They go through so much, but they always figure out life together.

    He gets sick and he has to go through the cancer spreading. He beats it the first time around, but he still has to check it every year. They decide to adopt to have a family and it’s hard. He stays home while she works, and she feels like she doesn’t get enough time with the family. Then after years he gets sick again.

    When I watched this series, each episode taught me what real love is. It showed me that times get hard, and you have to be able to communicate with your partner. I always say your soulmate is your best friend. This movie shows what couples go through.

    Make sure to check out the T.V. Series and tell me what you think. I want to read the book now. Usually, the book is always better than the movie.
