Greetings All,
Well, if a red eye and bloody nose weren't enough to bring this New Year in with a bang...I had to make a trip to the ER on Sunday because the medicine I was taking for last week's sinus infection...caused another issue. Not sure what is going on in my life but I'm believing something wonderful will happen soon! *moment of silence for a prayer*
Despite all, I am proud to announce that I had already started working on this blog post last week and this was definitely a first for me! Truth told, I usually pull everything together right before I hit publish. However, since I was suppose to be in San Antonio attending all day meetings and business dinners in the evenings, I knew I had to "Do the Work" to make this post happen--more on this later.
Without further ado, here's the events for this weekend!
*Photo of the MLK Memorial Statue was taken by me.
