…and to my Husband… 😜

So my family and I decided that we were not buying gifts this year. We just wanted to spend time with each other. In order words we took the commercial out of Christmas. My grandkids enjoyed Christmas more this year without gifts than last year with gifts. So I thank the Lord that I taught my children not to get so caught up in commercialized holidays. So they were ok with either or, and to see they taught it to their kids is rewarding to me.

Hello Dr. Althea and my Excellent Wives family! I pray this message finds you all blessed and thriving. I wanted to let you know in advance that I will not be able to attend Sunday’s check-in, as my mother’s dementia sundowning has intensified in the evenings and requires my full care and attention. While I have not yet crossed the finish line of my 2025 weight goals, I came very close. I’ve built muscle, increased my strength, and proven to myself that I am far stronger than I once believed. With one week left and 7 pounds to go, I’m still in the race and pressing forward with expectation. My Joy goal is also still unfolding. Though I haven’t yet received it in full, the journey has sharpened my prophetic ear and strengthened my faith—making it bolder, deeper, and more intentional. I am still pushing toward the 31st, but even if I don’t hit every marker, I stand victorious. I have grown, I have endured, and I have already won.
