My lil one has been singing a lot lately. The bug has caught on because I find myself humming and singing to fill the quiet moments. I pray he continues to spread good vibes.
I need some serious rest. Everything is pointing to exhaustion. I know I need to rest but there is always something to do. Isn't that the quintessential dilemma of the black woman? So much to do, so little rest?
This past weekend was so amazing. I had such a wonderful time at the Women's Retreat. I learned that my sisters, mother and I have a bond that many people envy. And I'm honored to be a part of a circle of women who have endured, uplifted and pushed on over the years.
I tried to take lots of pictures. Here are a few:
Prayer before departure.
Being silly with my older sis.
Above is my mother in the foreground.
My older sister and myself enjoying breakfast.
Fellowship with the other young ladies at breakfast.
I made the purple shrug and sash you see above. The vision was my mother's I just found a way to manifest it.
I also made the blouses/tunics above.
More praise dancing.
Symbolic foot washing by an elder.
Enjoy and Bless!

Beautiful pictures. Thanks for sharing.
I can just feel the spirit shining through from the pages. I love retreats and sisterly bonding. If ever there was a time that we need it, we need it now.
I love all the pictures! I can sense the peace and happiness from them! I know you felt renewed after the retreat.:)
Yes I did a lot of laughing and crying while on the retreat. It was very much needed and appreciated. The experience really reminded me of my quest for stronger bonds with my sisters both biological and not.
