Celebrating and Elevating Black Women - mind, body, soul and spirit!
Sometimes you must do a 360.
Other times, a 180 will do.
Either way, we must know when – and we have to be ready.

Y’all know we love you, right?
Adrienne, Rachel and I love the members of The Swirl World. Celebrating Black women and the diverse men who love us is a privilege.
Our overarching missing is to see Black women live their best life. For that reason, we’re constantly striving to bring you content designed to educate, inspire and entertain you.
That’s why we had to come through with something special for the holiday season!
The Christmas season brings a dual challenge. We’re participating in the holiday while simultaneously preparing for the New Year. Thus, we often don’t take the much-needed time for personal reflection.
No worries – we’ve got you covered!
Here’s a video to tell you more:
(And let me tell you – I really, really, really, really, really, REALLY love y’all, because in this video I’m dealing with the onset of a sinus infection. My nose is red, my eyes are watery, but hey! As the Single Mom Coach Kaywanda Lamb says, “Do it anyway!”)
Make sure you’re signed up for our email list to ensure you receive each daily post, because you don’t want to miss one!
Tomorrow is Day 1 – so let’s get this party started!

Somebody needs my gifts! And they need yours.
~Kaywanda Lamb
Someone, somewhere, needs what you have to offer.
You’ve been uniquely designed to make a difference in that person’s life.
You – with your specific personality, your specific experiences and your specific gifts.
Have you ever had this happen: You engaged in a conversation with someone; maybe a coworker, family member and possibly even a perfect stranger.
As you conversed, you discovered that you were able to speak to something that individual was going through – because at some point in your life, you had experienced something very similar.
Or, maybe you had not shared the experience, yet you knew to whom you should direct the individual, or you were aware of the resources that could solve their problem.
Maybe, just maybe, you possessed the skills and resources to make a difference in that person’s life.
Who needs your gifts?
Someone does.
Stay open and attuned to your surroundings and the people with whom you come in contact – and watch what happens.
Join in the Fray: What are your gifts? How can you use them to benefit others?

Burj Al Arab is a luxury 5-Star hotel built on an artificial island in front of Jumeirah Beach.
An “artificial” island?
Real or not, that setting of placid blue waters sparks nothing less than inspiration.
I’ll take it – how about you?

So, what are you hoping for?
What are you anticipating?
What captivates your sense of expectation?
No matter the current state of situations or circumstances in your life, keep hope alive.
Refuse to give up on your dreams and goals, and instead of allowing setbacks to derail you, use them to fuel a steady movement forward.
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life.
Proverbs 13:12 NLT

I want to pause today from featuring our Swirling Singles to give a birthday shout out to one of the most inspirational women I know:
Happy Birthday, Karla!
Have you ever met someone who, when you’re asked to give your thoughts concerning them, one of the most robust descriptions you can give of them is:
Simply Inspirational!
Karla is warm, witty, and funny, and one of the most brilliant you would ever have the pleasure of meeting. She speaks from a place that is rooted in experience, truth and love – and she gives it straight, no chaser.
Karla is fairly active on interracial dating and marriage blogs and the wisdom and down home common sense in her posts will have you nodding your head in assent.
She’s a retired Navy officer who served her country well, and served – and yet does – as a shining role model for other women to follow.
I can’t say enough about her, and I’m honored and proud to call her Friend.
Karla, Happy Birthday. Thank you for being you, and thank you for selflessly serving as a source of inspiration and encouragement to me and countless others.
Enjoy your special day!
