A Gift to Remember
Posted on 11. Jan, 2012 by Steph.
In October 2011, T and I realized that every year, we buy the kids gifts throughout the year, just because. And every Christmas, the kids receive gifts that need batteries, new games, new doll clothes, etc. One week later, they become bored w/ the gifts and two weeks later, they are asking for a new [...]

Masks in all sizes, shades and colors!!!
Posted on 08. Dec, 2011 by Steph.
Some years ago, while viewing Princess Know It All’s website, I was impressed with how she listed all of her masks and I vowed to do it one day. Figuratively speaking, masks are labels we put on ourselves to identify our projected characters. After all, it’s great to look at yourself and see where you [...]

Update! It’s been too long!
Posted on 02. Nov, 2011 by Steph.
Boy have we been busy! The kids are in school and karate and scouts. T is painting his butt off and I have really begun to balance my life and look at my belief system. I went to Dr. Sheri Rosenthal for an extended weekend in Florida. It was a bit expensive from my point [...]

My Unprofessional Opinion 1
Posted on 22. Jun, 2011 by Steph.
Last night, Terrance and I dined at Le Petite Grocery, a small restaurant on Magazine St., just 2 blocks from Napoleon Ave. From the outside it appeared to be an actual corner store, hence the name. When we entered at 6:30 pm (knowing that the restaurant opens at 5:30pm) and the restaurant was empty (except [...]

Sugar
Posted on 14. Apr, 2011 by Steph.
Sugar is not my friend! I had given it up for a month and picked it back up after my dads passing. I dropped it again and then picked it up. When it comes to sugar cane, I’m like a crack fiend. I can smell and taste it anywhere and in anything! And it does [...]

Dear Friends,
I have been holding out! I have had a terrible halt on my own personal 21 Day Project. I have been interviewing but as for my own personal tasks, I have been slacking, as if it doesn’t matter either way. Fasting at 7pm is easy. No sugar, easy. Saying the Optimist Creed, EASY! Meditating [...]

Just a Paragraph About my Little Cousin
Posted on 06. Feb, 2011 by Steph.
I spent last night until this days’ weeeee morning hours talking to my younger cousin. We all call him “man” because that’s how we used to address him when he was a baby, “Hey Man, wanna piece of candy?”, “No Man, don’t touch that!”. It was our name for him. Well, he’s an adult now. Very [...]

I had THE best dinner last night! I should have taken a pic of it. Whenever my Aunt VV comes in town, she cooks. My favorite Aunt VV dish is spinach and artichoke dip. She adds fresh chopped red onions, loads of garlic, spinach, cheeses of all sorts and artichokes. It is always so delish [...]

What Does it Mean to Win?
Posted on 14. Jan, 2011 by Steph.
Last January, in 2010, I wrote a list of things I’d like to do in my life. One thing was to dance in a ballroom dance competition and do my absolute best! Then in March 10′, my friend Beverly Matheney invited T and me to a fund-raiser sponsoring YALA. It was called “Dancing for the Arts”. [...]
