  • Happy Sunday, y’all! 🏈✨

    It’s Super Bowl Sunday! Now listen… since my Cowboys are not in it (again 😩), I’m officially in chill mode. Snacks ready. Cozy vibes activated. I think Seattle might take it this year—but hey, that’s why we watch, right? For the surprises, the halftime show, and the commercials we pretend we don’t care about but secretly love.

    But before kickoff, you already know I’ve got some shoutouts to give. 💛

    First up — my girl April! 🎉
    Friday we celebrated her birthday at Fin & Feathers in Stone Mountain, and let me tell you… such a cute spot! Great atmosphere, beautiful inside, and perfect for a birthday vibe. But what made it special wasn’t just the location — it was HER. April is one of those women who always shows up for everybody else. The encourager. The supporter. The “I got you” friend. So it felt good to show up and celebrate her the way she deserves. Happy Birthday again, sis! 🥂

    Now if you know me, you know every week I send thank-you emails to two women who inspire or encourage me. It’s my little way of spreading gratitude and staying grounded.

    This week’s honorees:

    ✨ Reese Witherspoon — Talk about building an empire with purpose. From her book club (which has put so many amazing stories on the map) to her films and producing projects that center strong women — she inspires me. Her energy feels intentional, smart, and empowering. She reminds me that storytelling matters.

    ✨ Ciara — I had the chance to meet her at DBS Sounds, and let me tell you… her energy is REAL. Warm. Grounded. Glowing. Of course, we all know she can sing and dance down, but what I admire most is how she carries herself. She always seems prayed up, positive, and genuinely happy. That kind of light can’t be faked. I love that.

    And speaking of light… 🔥

  • ❄️ Rainy Days, Flurries, and Feel-Good Moments with Cece on the Scene

    Hey everyone! So, it’s one of those cozy days in Georgia — rainy, cold, and yes… we’ve already had a few flurries! 🥶 Looks like we’re in for a real winter this year. I’m hoping it treats us better than last time — because let’s just say, getting stuck overnight in my car during a snowstorm is an experience I’ll never forget. Lesson learned: always pack snacks, a blanket, and patience. 😂

    Now, let’s jump into this week’s Cece on the Scene!

    🎬 Movie Moment: Wild with Reese Witherspoon

    I finally watched Wild — yes, the one starring Academy Award winner Reese Witherspoon! I’ve been meaning to watch it for ages, so I went ahead and rented it on YouTube. Overall, it was a good watch — real, raw, and kind of made me think about life, peace, and what it means to find yourself.

    But let me tell you… walking across the world like that? Alone? With no real supplies? 😳 You have to be built different. Sleeping outside, finding food, no shower for days — whew, not for me! I love nature, but I’ll take my hikes in short doses and sleep in a cozy Airbnb, thank you very much. 😂

    Still, I admire the strength and spirit of anyone who can do that kind of journey. I’d give the movie a solid 3 out of 5, and of course, I love me some Reese Witherspoon.

    🎶 Big Congrats to Outkast!

    Huge shoutout to @Outkast for being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame! 🔥 You already know I had to swing by their mural and snap a pic — such a dope tribute to two Atlanta legends. Their music, their style, their legacy? Timeless. Congrats, @BigBoi and @Andre3000 — ATL forever! 🙌🏾

    🇺🇸 Honoring Our Veterans

    It’s Veterans Day, and I just want to send a heartfelt thank you to all the men and women who have served. Your courage and sacrifice do not go unnoticed. 💙

    ✈️ Next Stop on My 50-State Journey

    I’ve been dreaming about my next stop for the 50 States Journey, and South Carolina is calling my name! I’ve already been to Myrtle Beach, but for this chapter, I’m torn between Charleston, Columbia, or Greenville. Each city has its own charm — so what do y’all recommend? Drop your suggestions below!
