TAKE ME TO THE CROSS

Doesn’t everyone need a bit of Lent in their life? Today is Ash Wednesday which marks the beginning of the Lenten season. I’ve never paid much attention to the tradition. The last time I saw a person practicing Lent, I was in Atlanta, and he was my boss. Acknowledging that he did something good proves…

BLACK (EXCELLENCE) HISTORY AND LOVE MONTH: A little ditty about Mac and LJ

My Black American history most intimately begins with these two – Willie Mac Lonon and Lonnye Jenkins Lonon– my grandparents.

KEEP THE MAIN THINGS THE MAIN THING
The Final Review of the e-book, my first step away from symptomatic insanity, and a greatness ahead. On Saturday, January 21, the last day of the “21-Day” e-book review and 2023 challenge, I attended a gathering with my oh-so-sassy sorority sisters.

BOOK REVIEW OF DAY 3 AND 4 FOR 2023

As I mentioned on Monday, I am planning to revise the 21 Days to Your Best Life e-book. I wrote it at the end of 2020 because the process worked so well for me (someone who had been struggling with illnesses and near-death encounters) I wanted to share it with others. It was not a…

HAPPY NEW YOU AND ME!

A REVIEW OF “21-DAYS” IN 2023 Can I be a better me in 2023? For your sake, I hope so. Seriously, I am not being narcissistic. I am far from being the end-all and be-all in any group. My statement is founded on the fact that we all need to be better humans for each…

REALLYLEAH.COM/SHOP IS CLOSED

The ReallyLeah.com/shop is officially closed for the holidays. Holla!!! Yours truly fulfilled her last order (a present of sixteen family photos on coaster tiles) for a worthy son/father.

MORE HAPPY

We could all be happier if we made better decisions. Well, what if we followed the proverb below? “Don’t speak to a fool, for he will despise the insight of your words.” Proverbs 23:9 CSB Easier said than done, right? This one is hard sometimes. Especially when you believe so deeply about the subject matter…
