I love Christmas time.
It puts me in a Peppermint, Hot Cocoa, Turkey and Dressing, Bows, Gifts, Diamonds, Wine, Nutcrackers, Cookies, Cobblers, Pajamas, Warm and Fuzzy state of mind...
One of the things I love MOST about Christmas is giving gifts....yes, giving, not receiving.
I do alot of things for myself...so while I do enjoy and appreciate a wonderful gift, I am much more into the spirit of giving! It's a time to reflect on the most awesome giver in my life, Jesus...so what a time to walk in his spirit and his light...than the time of his birth.
Now, I aint talking Tiffany and Chanel here...a girl has bills, but I love to give people things I think they will enjoy, they will love, they will cherish. A photobook, a handmade and painted picture frame, a set of beautiful wine glasses...
So in the spirit of giving...what can you do for someone that will put a smile on their face and make your heart all warm and fuzzy and pepperminty...

Mad Muggles
I watched alot of Harry Potter this weekend, and I must say I love the term Muggles.
A Muggle to me is an inconsequential person, someone whose presence does not add to your life at all...
and when someone doesn't matter it usually drives them ape sh!t...hence the term, Mad Muggles.
I know alot of Mad Muggles, I am sure you do too.
I deal with them on a daily basis, and it is quite frustrating and tiring. Its like running a marathon with no end, or drinking a shake through a straw that is simply too narrow. Mad Muggles are maddening...
You might hear me refer to them often from now on...and I just wanted you to be able to share in my distaste for them...much like my distaste for mushrooms...in fact, Mad Muggles aren't unlike a fungus...
Okay, I am rambling, but you get my drift. So next time someone brings uncessary foolishness into your life, cast it out, and remember, they are simply Mad Muggles...don't feed them after dark and they should go away!

Real Men do Real Things
They cook for you, and make your plate as a thank you for all the times you do the same for them.
They make the bed.
They sweep and mop.
They barbeque, take out the garbage, mow the lawn, clean up the leaves, and sing the baby to sleep.
They cry.
They smile.
They kiss, they hug, and they love their children, their wives, their girlfriends, their mothers, their fathers, and their friends.
They play basketball with the fellas at the park and with you in the backyard.
They give their female friends the best man advice ever!
They leave you love notes.
They tell a joke to make you laugh, in the middle of your fussing.
They love unconditionally...and with passion!
And they never have to tell you that they are "real men"!

The #1 Draft Pick: Post Blog
I wish I had it all figured out, I would be making Oprah money...
But alas, I don't.
What I do have figured out is that I am worthy...and once you make the decision that you are worthy, you can still improve and get better, but if you are being the best you that you possibly can in this moment, then you are worthy of love, of success, of happiness...of all of the things you desire.
When I decided I was ready to move into a new phase of my life, I took as my mantra
"I'm a MOVEMENT by myself, but we're a FORCE when we're together"
That was the only kind of person I was allowing in my life from now on, man, friend, or otherwise.
My best girl friends, they make me better. They are my sounding board. I fire things off of them like they are target practice, and they fire right back at me, not afraid to say the things that most are afraid to, but with love, honesty, and that bit of wit and humor that they know I need to swallow a tough pill!
My family, the ones that I deal with, make me better. They look like me, know me, remember me when, and no matter what I accomplish or how successful I might become, I am always KK or Baby K to them!
Then, we have the man.
The man has to do the same!
He has to make me better. He has to bring passion, love, fun, honesty, and spontaneity into my life...
He has to be ready to take on the world with me.
So, I am already enough, worthy, beautiful, and a woman created in God's image.
I need the people around me, to elevate me just a bit, so we all soar above the mundane and the monotony...to the magnificent!
Most importantly, I asked SPECIFICALLY what I wanted for God to bless me with...I was specific and on point and a little more specific! Miracles happen every day, why can't one happen to me or you, because being blessed with people around you that make you better, in a world of instant gratification, selfishness, violence, and cruelty, is definitely a miracle.
It's game time, get your face on, pull up your socks, and until that #1 Draft Pick Shows his or her face...introduce the word to the MOVEMENT!
