Family Reuinion

Keeping in touch with family is important. Finding your roots in the evolution of history awakens one to the awareness of where they belong. If you don't know where you've come from, how will you know where you are going? Many of our forefathers accomplished such a great deal in their lives, but a lot of history is lost. We must begin to dig deep and share our royal heritage with children and grandchildren. In the ancient days of old, the fathers sat with their sons to give them insight regarding the sacred principles of living a life of righteousness. I enjoyed my family's reunion in ATL...living and loving the discovery of my family's ROYAL HERITAGE.

The Perfect Family!

You will never find perfection in a family as far as the "fairytale" always peaches and cream. That's just unrealistic. The beauty of having a loving family is that the values and morals are sound. Unity is the strength...and strength gives power to endure trials, challenges or obstacles. Hey, that is the perfection--the love that flows from heart to heart. Looking out for one another, checking up on one another, encouraging one another and of course the priority..prayer it what works to keep family together. A family that prays together, stays together.

Love Is What It Does!

There's nothing like having parents that raise me and my siblings according to the principles of true love. I have 3 brothers and 2 sisters who I am even closer to now, although our parents have been deceased for over 11 years. Because of this, we are always a support system for each other. My youngest brother and his wife just had a new baby girl. What a beautiful, yet frightening experience for his wife who is Japanese and never held a baby before in her life. So because my brother wasn't able to take off the day after they returned home, I showed up at their doorstep that morning. Do you know she just got home from the hospital, I came to help her and she wanted to be of service to me, but this time I declined. So I cooked, cleaned and took care of the baby at times when she needed to rest. This is what we do as family--love is what it does.

A Check-Up from Someone Special!

Great afternoon Women Empowered By Love and friend, just and update on my 4th day of consecration. I had to experience an emotional release because I was defensive towards someone special. Of course, he checked me and that's what I needed. People in our lives are mirror reflections so we can make adjustments for the better. I'm perfect in the Most High God, but not in this realm of physicality. Let's keep it real. So, now I feel much better and I can have my green drink with mango because my body needs it not to feed my emotional crave for temporary fix/gratification. Maybe later as I slowing introduce foods back into my eating regimen, I may have some soup...keeping it light tonight.

Baby Brings Reunion!

This weekend was a memorial celebration of two people who were in love with each other back in the "40's" and as a result, six children were born. Of course it doesn't stop there. Now many years later, as we grew and had our families, grand and great grandchildren were added to the family legacy. This Memorial Day weekend was a special event for one of my brother's and his wife who are expecting their first child. Although, some of our siblings live in Virginia, we all came together along with our children to celebrate not just the new addition that will be here soon, but the reason we are able to come together, our parents. If it wasn't for them, their parents and even our ancestors, we wouldn't be here to give honor for our lives and the lives of our children/grandchildren.....and the legacy of love, honor and prosperity will live on throughout eternity.

Funeral Reunion

When family members live in different states/countries, coming together can be challenging. For the most part family reunions bring everyone together for a joyous occasion. Funeral reunions are just the same in a sense of bringing everyone together for a time of morning or celebration depending on the age and/or the reason the person has passed. I just experienced this with my family due to the passing of my cousin. I was able to see some family members I haven't seen in years as well as some new additions to our family.

Internal Bond vs. External Luxuries

A family foundation that exemplifies love, true morals and values are very important to teach our children as we are raising them. Quality moments invested with them mean more to them than all the gifts and other material possessions we buy. What happens if there is a financial challenge in the household and you aren't able to afford the luxuries as in times past. If you have built an intimate relationship with your children, it wouldn't matter much at all. What matters most is the love and closeness that they experience.
