John Madden (Great Memories)
John Madden
By: Cece Hymes
John Madden was an American football coach and sportscaster. He won Super Bowl XI as head coach of the Oakland Raiders over the Minnesota Vikings, and after retiring from coaching became a well-known color commentator for NFL telecasts.
Did you know in 2006 he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in recognition of his coaching career. He also is known for the long-running Madden NFL video game series. What a gift he was to football. He was definitely the goat for color commentators, he didn’t miss anything. Some of my favorite quotes by him are:
“Don’t worry about the horse being blind, just load the wagon”
“Self-praise is for losers”
“Well, when you’re playing good football, it’s good football and if you don’t have good football, then you’re not really playing good football”
John Madden has written several books, including the best-selling “Hey, Wait a Minute, I Wrote a Book!” and “One Knee Equals Two Feet”. Make sure to check them out. What was the most memorable moment you have of John Madden? Comment below and let us know. Also follow me @Cece. Atl.

Interview: Josh Powell
By: Where It Begins
Q. Tell everyone who you are and what you do?
A. My name is Josh Powell, 2x NBA Champion with the Los Angeles Lakers, Co-Captain for Big 3’s Killer 3s and co-creator of CheMinistry, a relationship platform. I’m also an entrepreneur, philanthropist and my all-time favorite, a father.
Q. Can you give some advice to someone who would want to play basketball?
A. My advice to anyone who wants to play professional basketball is consistency…Stay the course. Don’t compare yourself of your journey to anyone because that’s the quickest way to be deterred. Focus on your journey and remain steadfast to achieving your goal.
Q. If you could describe this year of basketball what would it be?
A. The NBA season during the pandemic was some of the best basketball I’ve seen this year. I think because of the pandemic and social distancing rules in place, the players only had one focus and that was basketball. Everyone was competing with a level of intensity at an all-time high. It was great to watch.

Recap of 2022
Recap of 2022
By: Cece Hymes
This is a recap of my 2022 year. I have had my ups and downs this year. The ups are always better than the downs. Here are some of the great things that happened this year.
Finally in the 40’s 40’s club that’s a big step. Glad to be here on this earth celebrating 40 years. This year I decided to spend time with my kids and just enjoy the beach and pools. I love the water. I am always with my kids but on my birthdays I hang with the adults and do vacation, but this birthday was a family trip.
Also, this year I read the entire bible. I got spiritual within myself. So, I decided to read the bible starting from January to December of all the scriptures. I want to do it again next year. You have to read it a couple of times to really understand. It was great to learn more of the word and get closer to God.
Another blessing was being able to donate to 70 plus kids for the holidays, the prisoners, the seniors for the holidays. Just to be able to give back means a lot for me. To see the smiles on some of their faces. Some people do not get anything for Christmas. So, to be able to do that meant a lot. Have to be grateful for the team.
Where it Begins has grown, I have added some interns on the team which I am grateful for and ready to show the things I am doing for 2023 that’s coming. New products and some great people on the cover and features. Things are looking up every year so I am proud of those moments.
I have lost some friends and family this year but I’m just thankful for all the memories I have. Also, this year taught me more on who I was giving my energy to. The wrong people that weren’t a true friend or supporter. People come into your life some for reasons and some for seasons. Had to let go of negative energy and people. That’s the only way that I can move up and stay positive. We can’t always have good days. We can follow the signs.
I was slacking on my book club and women’s group but for 2023 I plan to do a lot more with it and we already started. So if you would like to join the women’s group or the book club leave a comment below and I will send it to you. I enjoyed meeting all the ladies and getting together with them and reading over 60 books this year. I am very passionate about reading and connecting with other women.
For 2022 I have done a lot of self-love and working on myself and my positive energy. More meditating, positive books, motivational speeches and creating more content. Following my passion. Also, stated on more traveling and doing a bucket list which I have been creating content for.
Ready for 2023? I can’t wait to see what it brings. What are your recaps for 2022?
