Ahh To Blog or Not to blog,,

Hey Cazhes,

I miss you guys so much, I don't know what has came over me.. I have been so busy well almost busy and have just gotten lazy and have not been on blogs, barely on instagram, not on facebook, and youtube  man I just have been socially challenged.  Well who fault it is well mines and scandal, the following, the braxtons, tamar and vince and all other shows... that I have been obsessing over.

So now the ? is do I start blogging again? Is my blogger fam still out there?  Well I am thinking about what would my future posts be on, my life right now is still in transition, im getting acquainted with a new environment and I have switched jobs at least 3 times within the last 7 months, but God is good I went from unemployed to being in a stressful postion to being right back to a wonderful 9-5, which I had been praying for.  Thank you Jesus.. so now im contemplating my next chapter.  So with that being said, I do want to come back but I have to figure out a routine that will work for me and will work for you guys. 

So I need your help, what topics, subjects, or discussions would you guys like for me to share?  How do you guys maintain day to day life and still take the time out to share yourself with the blogfamily? 

Well that's all for now cashes I do miss you guys.. and will be stopping back in soon once I figure out how to remain active in the blogger world..

Stay blessed....
xoxoxo

Sorry I been MIA>..

Hey you guys, I missed you so much, Sorry for the Disappearing Act I had alot of stuff going on such is life.  Well I will be back up and running soon Thank God... I miss my blogging family you guys mean so much to me. 

Well im up early and just caught this new Jill Scott Video God Hear My Call and OMG< at first I thought it was Janet Jackson it had that kind of vibe to it, I was in the bathroom then I said let me go see who this is singing and to my surprise it was my girl Ms. Jill and oh my I love this song the video is kind of different but its real, so real i got so emotional because it described some of the feelings that have been occupying my heart lately. Sometimes songs describe the very way that you are feeling at the moment and this song has just describe the place I have been in for the past few days, no im not down in the dumps lol.  I am excited about the future and things that I would like to work towards but I am also asking and praying for guidance and hope that God is in lead and not me.  With that being said here is the song, I hope you guys enjoy it just as much as I did, and to follow are some pics that I have taken over the past week or two.  Love you all.  CocoaDout...

Those Hard Days..I see those footprints..

On today I sit and wonder how my life would've been without some of the tragic events that I had to deal with.  And living through these events I can say that God has been by my side the whole way and I am so grateful to him for just that.  And I have to remind myself not to sweat the small stuff.


On this day today it has been 10 long years since you were taken away from me, but I will never forget the impact you had on my life and the memories. There is not a day that goes by that I dont think about you or wish that I was just having a really bad dream. So even though your time was cut short you will always be #1 in my heart mommy loves you and misses you dearly and hope to see you in heaven one day son. R.I.P. Bryan Joseph Hawthorne 1/2/00-8/26/01

What's Going on Wednesday's- WGW

Hello Cazhes,

Hope you all have been doing well.  Well not much going on with me just trying to nurse my arm back to health yes, I will admit my skating days are done!  Went skating with the family and fell OMG, landed right on my rear end which I thought was the softest place to fall on until I got up and then went to move my arm and OH LAWD Lortab her I come needless to say had to go get xrays and they came back with joint effusion, which is fluid on the arm. I am very hard headed and stubborn although I have been trying to take it easy, I still have been doing most of my normal tasks.  I am scheduled to meet with the specialist soon so I am  hoping that everything goes well. So I havent had a chance to play in my makeup like normal but I have been doing a few looks that I plan to share with you guys soon.  Miss you guys xoxox.. CocoaDout..

Hello Cazhes,

Okay so I was looking for pics to include in my blog to give it a more personal look and you know  where Im not made up all the time and some where I am but at least some pics that I am smiling on.  Ok so anyone who knows me know that I dont like to smile on pictures.  Why? Because somehow someway they always come out looking goofy to me.  Well just because I love you guys so much I decided to share a few pics of me smiling.  Ok so now that I uploaded all the pictues of me smiling I can see that it dont look bad after all well after deleting the goofy ones lol. So on that note Im going to start smiling more often no more mean mug pics for me. Smile even when hurts for a while Smile oh sorry got that new Kirk Franklin in my head well God Bless I pray for you and you guys pray for me. Hope you guys enjoy, and what are you doing on this lovely Sunday.. hope to be loading a few vids to youtube by nights end.  CocoaD_
