Travel Chronicles: City of Angels

Awesome trip! I spent my weekend in LA and oh what a wonderful time I had. Port only cost like 10.00 there! I was in paradise literally- Long Beach not LA. But is it not wonderful to have friends in diff states- no hotel cost and free tour guide!

OF course I went to Hollywood- I had to! Rolls Royce's and Bentley's everywhere- no wonder people dream big here- you see it on the daily basis and you want it!  I visited the LA County museum of art- some great collections- could not do it all in one day.

Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles- of course I went! Now being from Dallas and all I wish the chicken tasted like Rudy's but hey everybody cannot put crack on the chicken lol. The waffle was delish though! and the gravy on the smothered chicken MANNNNNN- reminded me of Liz Thompson's pan gravy- Can I get a biscuit with that? But  expensive! They were taxing 7 bucks for french fries- where they do that at? LA apparently.

So Cali is off of my vision board list and it is still January- making wonderful strides. I register to complete my Master's program first week of February and I am excited! Finish these 5 classes real quick and be on my way.

Back to Cali- I did not find love as my best-friends thought I would lol. But I did reconnect with some of my past and after some reflective thinking- realized I am stronger in areas I thought I was weak and I can be proud of myself! I really connected with someone- another one of my vision board themes. I want to actively pursue and connect with others on a real level- not the all smiles Chantel that I put a facade up to be. I did just that- no bars hold, weave out, make up off type conversations and I am glad I did. I am living life to the fullest and having no regrets- which does not mean I am free to do what I want but rather- I am free to say No and be ok with it or to say YES and go with it.

Loving what God is doing in my life and I will most definitely be in LA  a lot more.... shout out to SW Airlines- hometown originated airlines for those wanna get away tickets!

So my words of encouragement to you! Get out there, be yourself, travel more, love harder and drink port!

In search of magic

She told me something was missing. Not a spark or a twinkle Not a light or a star Not a fire or an ember My magic was missing. The very thing that allowed me to create the me I wanted to be, had long gone missing He took it, I said, and I want it back! I want it all back. Slowly she felt it returning- but she had to figure how to use it again. Never again would she let someone steal her magic. Never again would she freely give of her magic. Never again would she take for granted the magic that was given to her as her prized possession. And when she said it- she felt it- the magic she once knew had returned and oh how it had grew. It was undeniable, unimaginable- she realized that the magic was her, she had never left- she had only forgotten due to his curse. She realized what she had forgotten; she had placed her magic safely on a shelf far, far away from what she called her heart. Hidden from all others, even herself- because she was too weak to control it ...
