Currently in My Life….

I have not done an edition of Currently in months!!! I feel out of sorts! LOL

How on earth is it the end of February friends? Where did the month go?  I’m already plotting and planning for next month, really for the year. It’s going quickly.

In the meantime, settle in with a good cup of coffee and let me tell you what is CURRENTLY going on in my life.

WATCHING

Well, I can tell you what I’m not watching: This is Us.  I know I know, it’s a wonderful show, great acting, great story telling etc etc etc But let me be real with you: the way my life is set up right now, I don’t need a show that will make me have so much emotional involvement that I cry. No. Not gone happen. Like I said on Facebook earlier this week, I can cry on demand on my own.  Maybe one day I’ll watch This is Us, but this year is not it.

 

READING

A LOT of things. LOL. But I’m re-reading an old favorite that I had on my list 15 Books that Every Black Woman Should Own.  Kindred By Octavia Butler. I would have already been finished, but my mother hijacked it when she was here the last time. So I’m trying to finish it before she gets back.

 

LISTENING 

To all of Prince’s Music streaming on iTunes. Listen, I own a lot of his stuff outright but most of it is on old tapes and CD’s and albums that I never transferred over digitally. So I stream. Now, there are a few things missing from streaming, like anything after he left his record company is not up…yet….So despite myself, I kept Tidal. Because there are a few songs from the Gold Experience that I still listen to ( The Most Beautiful Girl in the World, I Hate U, Billy Jack Bitch….)… so I’ll keep giving Jay-Z and ’em my coins for now.

 

MAKING 

Nothing. I’m still doing Jenny Craig so….I’ve been basic with my cooking.( Look for an update on that next week by the way) But I’m almost done with my program.  I’ve been storing up recipes. Be sure to check back next month for a few quick healthy recipes

FEELING

A bit excited. We are headed to my favorite city for one day (BOO) during Mardi Gras (YAY). Make sure you are following me on Instagram Cause it’s about to be LIT! LOL

LOVING

Self Care and long hot baths.  I haven’t taken one in what feels like years. But since this is the year of self-care for me, I took myself to Lush last week, got a few bath bombs, body lotions and that coffee scrub and took a looooong hot bath. It was glorious ya’ll! I locked the door, turned on some Sade,  lit a candle and relaxed. My child came knocking at the door and I sent him back to his Daddy. And you know what? He survived. His Daddy fed him, Cdub ate cereal. And the world did not end.  So self-care Saturday will return. For sure.

PLANNING

A roadtrip with the Fab Five!!! We are speaking as a group at the Mom 2.0 Summit in Orlando in May and we are SO EXCITED! Our session is called Teamwork Makes the Dreamwork! The Power of Collaboration… We are speaking on Wednesday afternoon, so be sure to drop by if you are going to be there!

 

SO that’s it! that’s what’s Currently going on in my life! Whats going on in yours?
