Serendipitous Musings

Hello! I'm exhausted as all get out but Day 4 cannot be missed! I only have one parent who's been consistently in my life... So, that's my mother and I on mother's day, in our jammies. I heart her. She's my world and we are so much closer now than we've ever been. God is good. I love you, Mommy.

So, Day 3: My first love...I remember this like it was yesterday...I was 7 years old. I had never experienced anything like this in my life. The only word I can use to describe it is: rhapsody. That word has a dual meaning which fits this particular blog post well, you see, my first love was music . Mainly in the form of Mariah Carey .   You might not recognize her so let me introduce you. This is 1991 Mariah Carey. My first love. Hearing her sing back then was to know what music was. This birthed my love of music and my love of singing. (I can sing. Raise your hand if you knew that about me. Most people don't. LOL) As I grew up with Mariah Carey through the years it was amazing how each album told the story of my life. I can go back to a different point in time with every song. Every great relationship; break up; spiritual breakthrough, etc. can be traced in the deep lyrical content of her songs. I appreciated Mariah making me break out the dictionary at the age of 14 to find o

Meaning behind my blog name... Serendipitous Musings Serendipitous - come upon or found by accident; fortuitous Musings - contemplation; reflection. In life it seems that almost by accident you find yourself aware of things you never were aware of before.

This blog documents those reflective moments I happen to come upon at any given moment.

So, I have neglected you for a total of 3 months. I am sorry about this Blog...the semester started...things got busy. I mean, I thought of you. I even visited a time or two. (Your background is really pretty. I just like to look at you sometimes) I know, I know. This doesn't make up for my blatant negligence. So, after reading Ashley's blog, a very lovely and talented young lady (and you can find her blog here ), I was inspired to do this 30 Day Blog Challenge. I, like Ashley, have a hard time being consistent with things I plan to do (exercise, writing for my column which I kinda left you for, Blog, devotionals, etc), it would be nice to challenge myself to do something...consistently...for a change. I encourage you to do it to if you need a little motivation! Here it is: 30 Day Blog Challenge Day 1:Introduce, recent picture, 15 interesting facts. Day 2: Meaning behind your blog name. Day 3: Your first love. Day 4: Your parents. Day 5: Your siblings. Day 6: A pictu
