Flashback Friday| March For Babies walk 2016

Happy Friday!

Thank you again to everyone that donated, shared the links via social media and those that even took the time to look up March of Dimes and their cause. 

I have been a supporter of March of Dimes since my undergrad years and I plan to continue to support this organization as it helped my family out when we weren't sure of the next steps we needed to take and how to cope with the what was going one while our little one was in NICU. 

Last year we had a blast at the walk; congregating with our team, sharing stories and evening meeting up with one of our little ones nurses who came out to support the cause: 

Tomorrow we are in for year 2 and I'm excited!

Want to know more about March of Dimes and how you can support?

Farewell 2015 | Memorable Moments

Another year is coming to a close and again, so much has happened on a national and local level. I prefer to reflect on the more positive events that have happened this year in my life.

So, what went down this year: 

• Anniversary | Hubby and I were able to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary by taking our annual trip to the coast to relax. It is always a joy to get away with him and just take in sights and sounds of the coast.

• Retirement | My mother retired this year and now has the joy of... DOING WHATEVER SHE WANTS  with her time. I feel like I was more excited than she was. It is always nice to see someone hit the milestone of retirement [in my eye]. Praying I get the reach that mark.

• Birthday | Our family was blessed with the birth of our baby girl this Summer. It was a trying time but I would not take it back for anything. Parenting is definitely a new venture that we're so excited to go on.

What were your most memorable moments of 2015?

Positive energy to all in the new year!

My World | Throwback Thursday - Your Critics

Hello loves. Wanted to share a post I create over 2 years on another site and wanted to share as it is relevant still...

Family and friends are your best and worst critics:

I find myself at times being more nervous around family and friends than I do around total strangers. I’ve realized that this is because they know YOU. These are the people that will give you their honest opinion and not spare your feelings. This is not to discourage you…It is done in hopes that you’ll take heed to what is being said.

To my family and friends [otherwise known as my critics]…I thank you and I love you

Even though this is still relevant in my life (for example, I have no problem talking to new hires at my job however, getting up and speaking in front of people I've known for year and/or my whole life bothers me sometimes). 

Does anyone else feel this way?
