Stay Cool!

Lauretta E. Joyner / August 18, 2025

It’s Summer 2025 Ya’ll! You know what that means, it means it’s hot! So stay cool whether it’s the heat from the sun, or otherwise, just stay cool!  Try not to let people, places, or things raise your temperature!  Know who and who’s (God’s child) you are, and everything will take care of itself! Have a wonderful day/evening/night!

GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!

Lauretta E. Joyner / August 18, 2025

Hello, Yes, it’s been a good while since I posted.  I have been just busy with life. GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME! Well we are in Spring of 2025.  This new year is a year of extra new beginnings, and with Spring, it just adds to that.  One of the things I have learned in life is to live life for Jesus Christ, be happy, and be unbothered with those negative things that are trying to weigh you down.  Break Free & Be Yourself!

HAPPY HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY MOM!

Lauretta E. Joyner / January 27, 2024

Hi All, It has been awhile since I have posted.  My mother, Carrie, passed away October 2023.  So, it has been a process with dealing with her passing.  God is truly good and is keeping me going strong.  I am taking it step by step and day by day.  Today is my Mom’s birthday, and she would have been 75 years old.  I miss her so much, but she is in Heavan and rejoicing with the Lord.  Mom, I know you are always celebrating up there in Heaven!  I WILL ALWAYS LOVE, CHERISH, AND HONOR YOU!

Another School Year!

Lauretta E. Joyner / August 13, 2023

Hey Folks!  It’s that time again! Time for another school year!  Some schools have already started and some will be starting very soon.  Hoping and praying that this will be a productive and safe school year for all students (from preschool to college).  Looking to help facilitate your child’s or childrens’ reading, along with teaching them a valuable life tool, then check out my children’s book, Respect Me.  You can read more about it and order on the homepage of this website.  Until next time:  Take Care!

I’m Back!

Lauretta E. Joyner / July 21, 2023

Hey Yall!  I know it has been awhile since I posted.  Whew! Boy have I been busy!  However, I am back giving you what is on my mind.  We are in the heat (and I really mean heat) of the Summer and we need to be cautious about being out in the heat.  Be sure to hydrate and don’t overdo it, if you can.  Until next time…  Chow!
