Be Ye Transformed: The Reveal…

Hello World,

It's me...I'm giving a speech...to actual people...

Since many of you shared your fashion tips for my first speaking engagement, I thought it would only be right to share a few of the pics from the actual event. To refresh your memory, I was the keynote speaker at the 31st Annual Christian Women’s Retreat banquet which was held at the Westin Atlanta Airport hotel last night…

I did implement a few of your tips, but in a rush, I did not get the chance to try all of them…

My girl Latoicha from Luxe Tips did my makeup…Didn’t she do a fabulous job? And she went to great lengths to get my hotel room yesterday…God’s got a blessing for you girl 🙂

One of you suggested that I wear my hair up…I told my hairdresser, and she happily obliged…

Usually, I have my locs in curls, but I like this style too…

And the finished product…

I could have accessorized more, but as I stated earlier, I was in a rush at the last minute as usual…

And I have to thank my mommy who was one of my cheerleaders last night…

Clearly, Mrs. Holness knows how to dress and accessorize…I even forgot my purse…

And most importantly, I have to thank the Lord Jesus Christ who made this opportunity possible…He is the author and finisher of my faith and my dreams…

Any thoughts?

A quick snippet of my speech, if you are interested…

And the countdown continues…Yippee, one more day til ‘Sex and the City 2!!!”

(Liza Minnelli is singing her rendition of “Single Ladies(Put a Ring on It)” in the movie…Does Beyonce’ know?)

Hello World!!!

If you couldn’t guess by my title, I am crazy excited that the new “Sex and the City 2” movie is coming out tomorrow!!! My girls will see it over the Memorial Day Weekend…I was telling R last night that it’s like the Superbowl for women…He kinda chuckled and said, “Okay” and turned back to watch the Lakers game…(Kobe is looking kinda skinny to me, but I digress…)

If you read my previous post about the movie or paid any attention to recent press, you have an idea what the movie is about…So in light in that, I thought I would pose this question to y’all. Do you have a “Mr. Big” and an “Aidan” in your life? If you are married, did you marry your “Mr. Big” or “Aidan?”  Why or why not? Any regrets? I’ve had a “Mr. Big” and an “Aidan” in my dating career, but since I’m friends with most of the guys that I’ve dated in the past and some read this blog, I have to decline to describe my versions of these iconic figures…But I will say this…every girl needs a “Mr. Big” and “Aidan.” A “Mr. Big” is the alluring emotionally unavailable man that you almost trust  that wines and dines you but just won’t marry you…An “Aidan” is the very emotionally available, nice, adorable man that is soo crazy about you from jump that you find it hard to believe…

Anywho, I cannot wait…Will you be there?

Any thoughts?

A Song in my Spirit…

Hello World,

Have you ever up woke up thinking about a song…It happens to me every once in a while….And it did this morning…And I even have a verse that I think expresses the message of this song…

Romans 5:3-5 (New International Version)

3Not only so, but we[a] also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

And since Yolanda Adams is on the playlist this Sunday morn, I have to share two more of my favorite Yolanda Adams songs…Sometimes, I just need to have my little talk with Jesus…

And this song works when your heart is sore…

Sometimes, words alone cannot express what you need to say to God…sometimes, a good ole gospel song will tell the Lord what you need to say to Him…

Romans 8: 26 (New International Version)

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.

Any thoughts?
