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

About Time! Queening Exponentially

I know that I am about 2 weeks late... but I am working full time and pursuing a Master's so be patient! Miss USA 2016  is exponentially several degrees above awesome. Let us take a moment to discuss what makes her awesome. 1. She is Black- unapologetic. Most definitely oozing #BlackGirlMagic the definition of #BlackExcellence and that melanin is definitely popping. I wonder what color she wears> definitely not any shade that Neutorgena offers (No Shade) but not everyone has cool, orange or yellow undertones.... some of US have prominent red undertones!!! I digress.... Handclap to the makeup artist and creators out there that cater to ALL SHADES of BLACK. 2. Member of the US Army- Patriot and passionate about it. Some of my people are not the most supportive of African Americans fighting for a country that chose to enslave and continues to mentally enslave us as a people. My goodness! Cut the girl some slack- she has chosen to sacrifice her life for others- which is t...

When.....

When Someone Shows You Who They Are.. Believe Them The First Time- Maya Angelou I took this to heart today when reflecting over my life choices and why things turned out the way they did. It was brought to my attention by my younger, middle brother that I am all too quick to cut off people. WHEN they do one thing I am like NOPE, DONE. This is a trait that I know I have and I have always viewed it as both a blessing and a curse. A blessing because I cut the bull at the beginning. A curse because some people deserve another chance. It is one of those gray areas in my life that I try so hard to color in or make clear. But the real reason why that quote resonated with me is becuase there was a time in my life, these past 4 years, that I tried to not be the person who cuts others off. I tried it and it failed. This quote is true and will forever be true especially when it comes to humans. Rarely do people change to suit others. Self is always more important than others. When others tr...
