    Q. The weirdest thing about your family?

    I would say the weirdest part is that they don’t act like family. We don’t speak to each other like that, hang out, and it is more like we are friends than family. The friends seem more like family than friends. I just don’t understand it. Back in the days we had reunions, times where we all got together to play cards, family trips and things like that. Now it’s like we do all that with our friends.

     

    I would say that’s the weirdest thing about my family to me. We only reach out if we have questions or favors. Which it should be to tell secrets or to chat and things. You tell a secret to our family, and everyone will know. Nothing is kept just between the 2 of us.

    Day 13

    A Memorable Stranger

    One day I was out with others, and we were feeding the homeless. We walked around the park we were at to let them know it was food up there and they could get some. Some were asleep and others were just laying there. This one man was on the bench and as we approached, he started talking to us about God and history. He had a book in his hand, and I just stood there and listened. He was very intelligent.

    Even in the state he was in he seemed to be happy, smart, and still sharing the word. I would never forget that moment and that stranger because no matter what situation you are in you still have to believe and know that something good is going to happen. He made me feel good and since then I told myself if I can help or do something in the community at least every 3 months than I am.

    With that being said everyone has a story and testimony, and you can never judge anyone. So that’s been my tradition to give if I can. This stranger opened my mind and heart in many ways, and he did not even know he did. His words and wisdom touched my soul.

    A Friend

    I had a friend I have known since I was 9 years old. I had the biggest crush on him. We would talk on the phone all the time. He could sing and he would sing to me all the time. We stayed friends all these years. He was a really cool dude.

    A couple years ago he passed away and it really hit me hard. All the memories, talks and just being friends for so many years. Any time I would go to my hometown I would always make sure to try to see him. I am thankful I did. You just never know when it’s your time.

    With that being said, tell your friends you love them, just pop up on them, see them if you can. Life is too short.

    Q. Traffic

    This traffic in Atlanta is horrible. It’s overpopulated and you will be in traffic for hours. One day I was leaving my friend’s house and on 285 a Truck had an accident and covered all the lanes. I literally had to sit in that traffic until 7 AM. It was horrible. I was thankful I had a full tank of gas. It was cold that night. I put my car in park and I dozed off and on. I had to call off work that day for not getting any sleep. Can you Imagine being stuck in traffic for over 5 hrs.? All I can say is Atlanta traffic is horrible.

    That’s my story, tell me yours. Post below or Join Cece Challenges on Facebook.

    Q. Your Worst Birthday

    One year the guy that I was talking to at the time just messed up my whole day. This birthday I had this whole trip prepared. We were supposed to go to the beach and just have a good time. For some reason every time things did not go right with him, he would try to make me upset to be miserable with him. Let’s just say we did not go on the trip. We argued the whole day and I felt like it was the worst birthday. I did nothing, got nothing, and was angry the whole day.

    With that being said I changed up and made sure that every birthday after that I would make sure to plan a trip and go no matter what, have a great time and celebrate. So far, it’s been working and I learned to never let anyone kill my vibe on my birthday and to celebrate being here another year.

    Q. A Neighbor

    Let me tell you about a neighbor I had. So, when I first moved into this home the neighbor introduced himself and told me that a person that lived here some years ago passed away outside cutting grass. Then said sometimes people say they would see the man cutting the grass. So basically, I was welcomed into the neighborhood like this. I don’t know why he would tell me that. So sometimes when I was in the house If I heard something I want that of the spirit or some would call it a ghost.

    I became suspicious of the neighbor because he was the police in the neighborhood. When I say that I mean he watches everything and reports it. This neighbor took a picture of my car tag and ran it to see if I had anything on me. Now that’s crazy another person told me that’s what the neighbor told them but that’s not it. I had to just keep my distance and just mind my business. It’s crazy how people do things. That is my story about a neighbor. Make sure to pay attention to your surrounding people just not right these days.

    Day 5

    Q.  An inanimate object that’s important to you?

    I have two that come to mind. The first one I would say is my car. I am the only owner of my car. I got it when it first came out. I was not really into small cars. I fell in love with mine. It’s good on gas, the perfect size and I have not had any major problems with it. This car has taken me all around and traveled everywhere so definitely will say my car.

    The second one I will say is my Magazines. Starting a magazine company and being able to still do it 4 years later. When I look at this it shows me a big accomplishment and all the great talents that are in it. When they order the magazine and show it to me, they put it in their home, office and up on the wall it makes me feel great. This is important to me. It’s not just a career, it’s also my passion. I love to show it off. Each one gets better and better.

    Day 4

    Q. A Strange Phone Call?

    I cannot really recall a strange phone call. I can say that I got a call before and the person knew my name, address, birthdate, and all asking was I that person. If you know so much information, why do I need to verify it for you? I do not know who you are. So I started asking them the same questions and then what they did was hung up.

    That was odd to me but again it’s so many scammers out there. I do not verify anything by phone. If you know and need to send me something I guess, I will get a letter in the mail.

    With that being said please protect your business and don’t verify anything with anyone. Watch out for scammers. They are out there taking your information and being more careful.
