MAD grateful for especially of who are finding ALL sorts of ways to not only do their job to take care of their families... but do it in a way that serves others & brings because that is all they know. I ordered food from yesterday... feeling completely BLESSED I have a piece of home (3,000 miles away) less than a mile away. I ordered from their website where they offer 10% off on each order but either there was a glitch in the or (I’ll admit) I may have drank too much & clicked the wrong link because I was WAY too tired to cook, clean or drive anywhere to pick up. Not only did they bring my order which was AMAZING... I got 2 , & on the house because they didn’t have two items I wanted & the manager delivered it to me himself. I know times are SUPER tough right now & people are trying their BEST! Please whether it’s once a week, bi weekly or once a month consider to order out & restaurants around you. It truly is a day off from the madness by people who TRULY care to make you happy.

Hmmm... who else can I trigger today, when simply reiterating that we ALL should ... like our states? J/K 😂 Jokes aside, I am BEYOND grateful for those just learning about this day & for taking it seriously, using the day as a time for reflection, listening, learning, collaborating & affecting REAL change. I received SO many messages today from people receiving the day off & using the time to make our world better... safer, FREER (I make up words FYI) & I’m in complete awe. All of this while experiencing my people feeling prouder as well. Being heard, processing being seen, feeling welcomed at the table as we all get a chance to reflect & be better. Goodness... what a time to feel alive during a time when so many of us felt hopeless. THIS is what I imagine it must’ve felt like on that day in , when those slaves found out they were freed 2 1/2 years earlier. Now that we ALL know we are... let’s damn act it y’all ✊🏾🖤❤️

Finally completed on an impromptu tonight in honor of my friend’s . I made MAD crazy JUICY Stuffed Cups & 3 ways. When I was on the road I ended up making a last stop in , for the second time. My friends & hired me to cater for two weeks on a new show they were working on for & new Network & I’ve kept it a secret this WHOLE time until the announcement was finally made last night on a preview on their new show was FINALLY revealed! If you missed it last night you can catch up on the Go App. I had the time of my life getting to know this modern day falling madly in love with them & I know you will too! They’re SO talented & their story is so special. Can’t WAIT for you to check out their new show where they renovate an old schoolhouse.... see where the stairs are? That’s where & I got to camp out for two weeks. I made awesome Keto meals for the cast & crew & got to meet by chance one of my fave girl crushes who just happened to be a friend of theirs & I bugged out when I saw her walking down the street screaming “HEY... I KNOW YOU! I kinda love you” *snort I’m such a DORK! I can’t wait to see their labor of love with their show on this fall. The recipes are up on both my & . Thanks everyone for tuning in & spending some with me ♥️
