So I havent been blogging lately because Ive been freezing my ass off in the beautiful Peoria, IL. Although the circumstances SUCKED it was nice to be able to see extended family again. I also got to meet my godmommy, godsister and godbrother!!! How wonderful.
But let me just say my grandmother Sandra Livingston was a woman like no other. Saying she was loved doesnt even began to justify the feelings people had for this amazing woman. The speakers spoke of nothing but grace, beauty, a gentle heart, unconditional love, class, and her unmatchable inner strength. She was wealthy, my grandma always had the latest designer duds, more shoes than one person will ever need, more purses then she had shoes, a plethora of LUXURY cars and multiple houses and country clubs but she never flaunted her riches or tried to be impressive with her "stuff". She knew it for just what it was "stuff". She was impressive and loved because of her heart, her soul, for just being her. I look around and see people trying to get the love and admiration of their peers because of their money and I cant help but smile. I had a better mentor than most so I am blessed enough to know the true meaning. Maybe one day here soon I will let yall in on the secret. But right now I'll just leave you with this: "keep your feet on the ground, your heart with the ones you love and your eyes always towards heaven".
Like always keeping it classy
