New Found Treasure

Today I had the pleasure of visiting a hidden gem in the heart of Oak Cliff, TX (yes a song did come to mind... but I shall spare thee) So... went to a Complimentary Wine Tasting that was advertised via FB and it was great! Found a new hangout. Dallas is not known for it's wine or anything so whenever we get a new wine bar it is like a BIG DEAL.

Cibo Divino Market Place is my new favorite place. They have incorporated a few of my favorite things. Wine, Pizza and Coffee!! I was in heaven and despite the unrelenting Texas rains I ventured out and discovered a few great wines. Thirsty Thursday was a success! Picked up a wonderful Sicilian Red Blend and watched NBA Finals Game 1 at my best friends awesome downtown apartment. Successful day all in all. Kehlani on the playlist, Kyrie playing ball... wine in the glass, homework on the screen- #Get'erDONE

I was also able to sample a Chardonnay and Petite Syrah. They also had descriptions of some wines on the display to help the babes who may not know much about wine.

Can I get a job at a winery? Next project

Oh and for anyone that might be a true wine enthusiast while being an award winning cook- they also have fresh cut meat! Like Prime Rib and T-Bone Steaks. I am not a meat person so that was of no interest to me but I had to share with you the entire scene. And GREAT patio- yasss! honey this is not a dream.

I am here for the gentrification- Make the CLIFF great again!

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
