As I Revisit My Bucket List....

      When I woke up this morning, I was feeling some kind of way about my BUCKET LIST! I immediately started thinking about everything that was on the list and what I had accomplished and what I didn't. I suddenly went into a small little depression. Over half of things on the list I have not accomplished or even attempted and it makes me sad. While writing that list, I was at a different place in my life and now I find myself in a MUCH DIFFERENT DIRECTION! Buying Jimmy Choos was important, then! Didn't make my trip to Turks and Caicos but I did go on my VERY FIRST GIRLZ TRIP last year. This thing called LIFE, sorta kinda got in the way of me completing my first children's book and completing my degree in Media Literacy which I do plan on completing. My bond with my family is well... uuuhm... it's there but now a days, its been touch and go because I have chosen to give LESS OF ME and because of that, people's feelings have been hurt. I have made some strides in completing my bucket list, I did walk/run a marathon, I went parasailing with my bestie, I am grudge free, I do plan on having a church home by July,( I am very close to making that walk)  and my family trip with my kids is on, in May! Not sure, about visiting my grandparents' grave. Just can't find the motivation to do so! As I ponder the rest of my bucket list and what I have and haven't accomplished I feel a small victory in knowing that, it is NEVER TO LATE TO KEEP STRIVING TO COMPLETE YOUR GOALS. This wonderful thing about blogging is, as I type I am feeling much better! The one thing I know for sure is EVERY SMALL STEP I TAKE, WILL LEAD ME CLOSER TO MY GOAL AND ACCOMPLISHING EVERYTHING ON MY BUCKET LIST!

Live, Laugh and Love... Chellany



Embarking on a new milestone....

      In exactly four months, I will be embarking on a new milestone in my life. As I take a look back at my life over the last 10 years, I have been on an amazing journey. I moved to Atlanta from Florida, had a beautiful daughter, bought a home, sold a home, got divorced, lost a job, got another job and met some AH-MAZING FRIENDS! I have shed a few tears, well a lot of tears but through it all,  I have bounced back better than ever. I tend not to dwell on the negative to long because that can bring a person down. I try my best to stay in positive place at all times. The older I get, the more I realize that I have absolutely no room for negativity. Whatever it is I am going through, I cry, cry some more and give it to GOD! I DO MY BEST TO LET IT GO! My constant prayer right now IS:  LESS OF ME AND MORE OF HIM! My relationship with GOD has been so overwhelming. When I think about how far I have come, I am truly BLESSED! I have created a vision board for my year and it is has been such a wonderful thing to have it remind me,  of what my focus is and where I am going. I am learning to be more patient with people and myself. Learning to count to 10 and not fly off the handle, so quickly! Learning that it is okay, to make a mistake, learn from it and get right back up. I have no regrets about anything that has happened in my life, I take each lesson and learn from it. So, as I plan for that milestone that is to come in July, I will enjoy each and every day of  the rest of my thirties and live out my 40's the BEST DING DANG  WAY I KNOW HOW!!! THAT IS  TO THE FULLEST!!! Now as I look ahead, I AM saying  it out loud, putting it in the universe, what I am hoping for in my future:

• Maintain my relationship with God
• A fabulous body!!! ( I am working on that, daily) 
• My relationship with my kids to be better than ever!
• My mentor program to BLOW UP!!!
• My business to BLOW UP!!!
• A larger savings account.
• A solid relationship with my family and friends.
• AND......perhaps, maybe just maybe FIND a MALE PERSON who isn't perfect but perfect for ME! Someone who I can act silly with, someone who treats me well and loves being with me more than anyone else!

As I say goodbye to my 30's, I'm so looking forward to my 40's!!!!!!

Happy Anniversary to US.... NOT!!!!

      Today, I woke up with the blues... Didn't realize why until I realized on this day April 14, 2001, I was walking down the aisle to the traditional wedding song staring at the man that I thought would be my best friend until death do us part. Unfortunately,  our marriage didn't survive. I could say we grew apart but I would be lying. That is a cop out. The reality is we should have never been married. We were almost doomed from the word GO... The signs were there but this little hopeless romantic chic thought things would be different. He couldn't possibly be that bad, but boy was I wrong. We argued more and more each day. Our dreams became MY dreams. My reality was no longer HIS reality. I knew in my heart that I had given it my all and my soul could not bear being HUSBAND AND WIFE  any longer. I had to make a SMART MOVE for me and my children. I was scared. Cried a lot. Didn't really open up to anyone because I was more embarrassed than anything. I hate failing. I knew I was destined to have the 2 kids, house, dog and one big happy family. I fought for that and HARD.. But the more I looked into my sons eyes, I knew he was hurting. Heck, I was hurting. I didn't want him to think that this was supposed to be the way a family lives, THE NORM! The more I thought about it, the more I knew I had to make a change. AND I DID! The day I decided to divorce was one of the worst days of my life. Life was hard for awhile and even though I put on a smile, played the part of a go-getter, had this air about myself that I was doing FAB, I wasn't. It took me awhile to finally come to grips that I am not a failure, even though today, I felt like one. I did what I had to do for me and my children. As I reflect and think about where I started, I think I have come a looong way, BABY(that's the silly girl in me) I still have my days every now and then, when I think about what could have been, but REALITY has a way of quickly reminding me what life used to be like. At that moment, I shake that ish off and keep it moving...... I can smile now, because our fights are NO MORE!! HE DID'NT MAKE A FAB HUSBAND BUT HE IS DAMN GOOD DAD!!!        

To my EX-BETTER HALF:                                                                                   

HAPPY 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY TO US.... NOT!!!!

Many Faces of Me!!

      I have been battling a cold all week and basically I have been confined to my bed. Yesterday, I was laying in bed and decided to play.... So, I turned on my computer and played with the photo booth! It felt so good to just sit and express my feelings through many facial expressions! Some are goofy, some silly and I may appear a little sad, in some but WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT I AM!!!


A little picture overload.... BUT I HAD FUN!!!! #PLEASEDONTJUDGEME!
