2024-01-1407 minPERFECTLY BLENDEDTis' The SeasonMerry Christmas Y'all!!!Sorry I've been absent but....LIFE!! Which is why I am here today to tell you CHILL OUT! It's the busy season, I get it!! No really, I GET IT!! My laptop broke, I'm slammed at the salon, parties, presents, people...you get the point. However, remember the reason for the season. Slow down. Take a deep breath. Give a hug.

2023-12-2106 minPERFECTLY BLENDEDBe The LightI can't think of a better episode to release during the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend. We all have so much to be thankful for!! For me Thanksgiving is my favorite time of year. I really reflect on my past year and my life and try to find time to be still and express all that I'm grateful for. At my house each year I put an "ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE" jar on the island and everyone gets to drop what they are thankful for all month long. Any one who visits during that time love to drop a note in as well...

No one is a mind reader. As we are...

2023-10-1320 minPERFECTLY BLENDEDWho Are You?Who are you? Whose ya momma? and Where you from? In my best cajun accent. LOL No really though, ask yourself who am I? It takes courage to look at yourself and your past and see how it affects your present and your future. What you bring to the table is just as important as what you're looking for in the relationship. We become what we are taught, told and modeled. What of those traits do you still possess today or have changed. Whether it's a work relationship, a friendship, a marriage or BLENDING A FAMILY!Ref...
