Atlanta Must Do’s

When your clients ask you to come to a summit in Georgia you go. I always wanted to go to Georgia so this was a huge mark off my bucket list. Luckily when I travel my cousin and sister join me. We have filled these past two days with some awesome experiences. We are in walking distance of Peachtree Street where a lot of great restaurants and bar are. Some fun shops but I needed more. I wanted to make sure I was seeing ALL of Atlanta.  

What do you want to do J? Um honestly I don’t care as long as I get to try real southern soul food simple yet home-cooked food. Well today I did and it was well worth the wait. 

We went to Busybee Cafe. Locals go there. People from all over go there. It’s off the map not near our hotel not in a busy or prettiest part of Atlanta but we didn’t care. Even our Urber driver was hesitant. We still said nope here’s where we want to go. We wanted the best fried chicken in Atlanta and well we got it. Fried chicken, fried green tomatoes, broccoli casserole, fried okra, Mac and cheese. Cornbread and mashed potatoes. Hello soul food! Like a big warm hug. There is await. A long one but so worth it.

I must say ALL our Urber drivers have been awesome. We are an outgoing group so it’s easy to start conversations but these drivers were so fun. On our way back to our hotel our driver gave us all the places in Atlanta to go to. Can you please bring us to them I asked. 

Before you know it we are at the house Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. grew up in. We are at Krog Street where the whole tunnel is covered in artwork and graffiti and then she brings us to the skyline of Atlanta.  Amazing!

We have a couple more days to fill up some free time I have in between working and I am very excited.  

World Of Coca-Cola Atlanta Georgia

This place is awesome. Great price to get in and fun to learn about the history of Coca Cola. After you get to sample almost 100 different flavors from all over the world. If you make it to Atlanta, Georgia be sure to check it out.

What’s Your Love Language?

A friend sent me this link. Men and women both have needs and should be in tune with what will make them happy. Relationships should be a give and take. 50-50 balance. When it’s not balanced you either step it up or back out. You can’t be a taker or giver without balance. 

I must admit my results were on point. I asked a couple of friends to take it and their results were also on point.  What matters to you in a relationship? What shows people they care and love you? What makes you happy?

Take the quiz and see what works for you: https://www.5lovelanguages.com/quizzes/

My scores are below:

My top happiness in a relationship is being able to spend quality time with someone. Doesn’t have to be doing anything expensive. Just spending good time together. Either hanging on a beach or a nice dinner or food truck festival. Walks, grabbing coffee or tacos.  Simple easy quality time. The second is someone doing something nice to help me out or release stress without me asking. To offer to help if they see me overwhelmed. 

Did your test results show your true self? 

Working Out Goals!

Healthy habits healthy vibes. It was never about being skinny. Let’s face it I am a mom of three. It was always about being someone who took care of their body. I have this burst of energy. Desire to cut out all bad habits and focus just on good. To push myself to have the body I had many years ago. 

It’s never about being skinny. It’s about looking like I take care of myself because my body is my temple.It carried  three kids and beat cancer.  I need to be strong and healthy for my girls. For my mind and soul. Be good to you and your body!

Let it out...Let it go!

She reached out to me. I haven’t seen her in a couple months. A sweet friend of mine I met through friends we were dating. We used to go on double dates together. Spent New Year’s together, dance parties and dinners. They were fun times. 

We met for dinner. We dumped it all on the table. Everything we experienced. Everything that was said. Laughed so hard the whole restaurant looked at us. When she hugged me she hugged my soul. She said now don’t we feel better?! Gave eachother a high five and toasted to focusing on happiness. 

I wasn’t sure how I felt at first. I didn’t want to feel sad talking about our past. It wasn’t long ago and healing takes time. We both experienced similar pain but she was there and understood the situation. We both knew it all. The pain of losing friendships and companionship. We both witnessed the unnecessary drama.

You’re the coolest, baddest b!tch I ever met she said. We toasted to that. She looked amazing. 

We all need people in our life who get it. Who been there and saw it from the other side. Who want nothing but happiness. Fun. Live life. Learn and move on. We planned another night together. But this time no talk of the past. Just two girls out to have fun. Cheers to that!

Happy Mother’s Day to All The Super Moms

Not just a mom. The cook, cleaning lady, taxi driver, wound healers, hug monsters, problem solvers, therapist...must I say more. To all the super moms that really put their kids first. Who wake up and think about their children before anyone else. Today is for you. For being the one person in your child’s life that will always be there for them no matter what. No matter when. Cheers to you! 

Enjoy The In Between

Take It Outside...

Even though we haven’t been having the normal type of May weather there’s still something about breathing in the early morning air. I started to take my workouts outside. Running. Walking. Stretching. The air, smell of nature, and sound of the birds, does something for the body and mind. 

Set some goals and include taking them outside. Clear your mind and be good to your body.

Yes I Will Give Thanks...Proud Mommy Moment

Change is hard. Especially when there are children involved. You want to focus on your happiness yet have theirs to focus on too. Every decision is torn due to how it will affect them yet bring happiness and peace in your life. 

Today I received my daughter’s testing scores. These are standard testing across the district for her grade level. The report provides you with detailed information on your child’s academic progress and growth for the past couple of years to current. 

I was blown away by my oldest progress. She’s always been super smart and outgoing. But this time the report showed me much more. The comparisons from 2017 to Spring 2019 proved a lot to me.  She’s transitioned to a new school. Dealing with her parents having a divorce and moving into a new location. I couldn’t believe how all this change didn’t cause the harm you fear. She excelled every season. Every change. 

I must admit the amount of love and happiness we surrounded our children with helped them transition easier with all this change. Their father and I always made sure we took time to make them happy and comfortable. Open communication is key in my household, to anything they had questions with or feared. I always said tell me even if I don’t want to hear it. What you feel is never going to be wrong. 

With Mother’s Day around the corner it makes my heart happy to know that my girls are happy. I wouldn’t have done anything differently in my life. This path is the path we are meant to be on. My decisions in life have always been my choice a risk but worth every one of them. 

She stopped at the store the other day and bought me this and said “Mom you need to know you’re the best mom I ever met.” I like to agree with her.

Are Your Core Values Aligned?

I see this all the time in my line of business. Many of my clients have set standard core values. It matters when hiring people to join their team or which clients they choose to work with. Everyone’s core values are different. A lot of times I tell my clients a client will not work out for them or a new hire for their organization because their core values do not align with the organization’s. 

This is also a very overlooked yet important aspect you carry throughout life with relationships, friendships and even raising your children. Are your core values aligned with everyone who plays a role in your life? If not then things can never fully work out. 

Happy Taco Tuesday!

Being A Great Parenting Team Matters

Divorced or married whatever your status you must always focus on being a great parenting team. It may take some time but the main goal is to be able to communicate for the best interest of your children. Set aside any anger or pride and focus on what’s important: your children’s happiness. A safe place to come to with any problems and be able to have both parents communicate with respect. It gives you both peace. It means you both have to process before reacting. I am grateful, even if it took some time , that I am able to have civil conversations with my ex when problems or concerns arise. It’s a constant goal and work in progress but all parents need to remember you’re in it together.
