Rest in Peace..... Whitney Houston

Good Morning All,

Today is a rather somber day because of the death of one of the greatest voices of my lifetime; Whitney Houston. I wasn't a big fan of Whitney Houston; however, I respected her voice and her craft.  She appeared to have it all.  The voice, the body, the looks, money, fame, and family.  Like some of us, she also had demons that she was dealing with.  When someone dies at a young age of 48, it makes you wonde, that we all have an expiration date at some point.  Her death, and other recently deceased people make me ponder what is my purpose here while I am here.  What is really important?  I think honestly, Whitney served her purpose here on this Earth.  She opened so many doors for the likes of Jennifer Hudson, Alicia Keys, Christina Aguilera, and etc.  She was truly an icon.  She gave life to beautiful Bobbi Kristina, and she was part of the soundtrack of my life.  Her most famous song, "I Will Always Love You" brought tears to my eyes because it was played constantly when I was in basic training in Orlando, Florida from 92-93.  That was the beginning of my life of service; serving my country.  I wish her family all the best and may the Creator bless them and us all.

Blessings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is Blogging Dead?

Hello To All. I have been missing in action from this blog since 2015.  I am the type of person that gets bored with things quite quickly.  I have a question for you today.  Is blogging dead?  There are millions of blogs out there covering everything from fashion, food, homes, wine, and etc.  With the fashion piece, Instagram has taken over the need to post a  blog about what a person is wearing and what the audience should buy. However, is it quite necessary to share with the world everything that a person does in their life. I am signing off with this open ended question; should you leave things to the  imagination?  Ponder on that question; will you. Until next time, many, many, many, blessings!

Happy New Years 2015!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                               . Blessings to All,  It has been a long time coming for this post. The last time I blogged was back in May 2014.  Fast forward to January 1, 2015.  I am very happy to see another year.  I am so glad that 2014 is in the past.  Today is a time to look forward to new opportunities.  On my agenda this year is to get better and wiser.  I am on the path of eliminating baggage out of my life. I am very much interested in the minimalist movement.  A minimalist voluntarily simplifies their life.  It can include buying less things, reducing consumption, working less, and even eliminating toxic things from your life.  I always admired the Japanese culture.  They practice minimalism; however some may argue that is due ...

Dooney and Bourke Florentine Smith Bag in Royal Blue

Good Morning All, I have been enjoying this nice Chicago weather we have.  It has been around 70-80 degrees for almost two weeks now.  It is kind of creepy.  I went to Culver's yesterday to get one of my favorite treats, a three scoop lemon Ice and while in the drive through I see a big bumblebee.  Spring is definitely in the air.  I am waiting for the ball to drop.  Will we be getting 6 inches of snow in May?  Anyways, I got a new bag.  Well, I exchanged a bag that I had bought about two months ago for this bag.  It is the Dooney and Bourke Florentine Smith Bag in Royal Blue.  I had purchased this bag in white/tan for the spring and had a change of heart.  I like white bags; however, they don't wear well.  Eventually they will get some kind of color transfer from denim or they will yellow overtime. I have a Chloe and Marc Jacobs bag that did that.  Well, the bag in my opinion is not royal blue in person.  It is ...
