My Relationship with Wine



So anyone who knows me- just knows if you ever want to see me smile bring me wine! The excitement I get over wine is crazy. Call it what you will, but a glass of wine can excite me, relax me, make me laugh, cry all at the same time. I call wine "Jesus Water" The Lord knew that he would create people like me who would appreciate his efforts of making different types of grapes and putting them to use until the very end. He knew that I would need something to call mine, something that would allow me to suffer through endless dates, calm my spirits, turn up to, collect my thoughts, natural sleep aid and so much more. Wine is everything.

I was at my local 24 hr Kroger and stumbled upon a new blend of one of my favorite blends.... introduced to me by him; "Menage a Trois" They have several blends from their Moscato and Chardonnay to their red blends of which they have a dark version known as (Midnight) and now a soft version called (Silk).

The anticipation I have right now to try this "Silk" is beyond words, but technically I am still on the clock- but oh when 9pm hit and I have my bowl of Smart Pop in my lap and netflix on! Nothing can come betwixt me and my wine. Sadly, I have broken my favorite wine glass of which could hold an entire bottle so I will have to limit myself to my regular wine glasses. Wine is sort of an outlet for me.. it is my breather.

Oh how I love it, it never disappoints or irritates. Wine has been good to me. Thank you wine- I love you and you have always loved me back even when I cheat with Watermelon Martini's I always come back to you dear wine. Thank you for always being there, for having so much variety and flavor, for calming my spirits, for comforting me, for giving me courage when I had none, for being my friend on both the high end and low, for being readily available and easily accessible.  Thank you Wine.

Catch me at Grapefest this weekend! #GrapevineTX

Single But Ready: Greater is Coming

So I am up doing some grass roots research into pursuing some passions of mine... hair and fashion.  While texting a guy who is interested in me. And it hit me. I am ready to date again! Finally. Lordt I thought I was going to be stuck in that negative stage forever! By the way the title of this post is inspired by a podcast that I listened to- that helped get me through entitled: Single But READY.. check it out it is eye opening. So if you read some of my post from the August/September period you will note the harping of the breakup and my efforts to rebound date. Well I never wrote about my perspective of trying to rebound date. Let us just say it was horrible. I truly do not recommend trying to rebound date, while being celibate and on the tail ends of a heartbreak... Nothing good comes from Nazareth right? HA.. ok. Basically as I sat here thinking back to that time period I was sooo negative. Negative Nancy welcome to the party. These guys were showing genuine interest in me an

The importance of boundaries

As I sit here in DFW international airport reading "Don't Settle For Safe" by Sarah Jakes Roberts, I am compelled to write on the importance of setting boundaries. Boundaries keep us safe. Safety is a primary foundational component of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Basically, we need boundaries at our core in order to survive. Relationships are one of the hardest areas of our lives to create and maintain boundaries. Why is this? Our need for acceptance tugs at our inner being to disregard the natural boundaries that our conscience created for us. Whatever it may be- friends, significant others, parents or siblings we want to be accepted. But at what cost do we pursue acceptance? As I have grown and matured in all things called life, I realized that I had created boundaries that were too loose as well as disregarded others all together. I had to realign myself to think in terms of boundaries when approaching any situation. Here are a few of the questions I asked myse
