Thankful For My Best Friend!
We continue to see on the TV, social media, CNN, & etc. that world is a bit bi-polar right now. In a world where you are not sure if folks are helping you for hidden agendas; who’s really on your team; and are we really friends or just foes? Is this success really success? 2017 has brought about new growth for me. I feel like a flower budding with new vision.
With that being said I am thankful and grateful that I have a BEST FRIEND who truly has my back and best interest at heart. I not only get a best friend and husband but I get one who’s a PROFESSIONAL COUNSELOR, Yeah!!! I get FREE services! Because 2017 has had my mind spinning on a few things and with the constructive criticism and great advice I appreciate my husband letting me know that I’m not crazy! LOL!!! Don’t stop being the person you truly are or sharing the gift that God has given you because you may have been hurt by folks with bad intentions. So true!
The saying “a season and a reason” is so very true! People and things enter your life for a reason and a season, and it’s all for you to learn from. If I’m not learning from it I may need to stay on that counselor coach a bit longer (trust me I’m always learning & memory banking). I’ve learned not to be so much in “my feelings” when I see things that come and go in my life, because I know it’s “a season and a reason.” God is trying to show me something and I better clear my vision to see it! Things that dissipate are meant to disappear.
Make it a great life!

3rd Annual Honoree’s-Celebration of Women
I know I’ve said it a few times now, but the 3rd Annual Celebration of Women – Sisterhood Session Summit really touched my heart. RWR also had the pleasure of honoring our Honoree’s! RWR always has an eye out for our 3 Pillars of excellence:
- Sisterhood
- Community
- Celebration of Women
These honoree’s displayed an abundance of excellence in their rightful categories:
- Suzanne Douglas-Nelson (Owner of Desert Lily Solutions LLC) received our Sisterhood Achievement Award = Suzanne has been a friend to RWR for over 10 years. It doesn’t matter how often we see or speak with each other she is always there to assist. Always there to support a RWR cause without hesitation. Her persona/personality always displays Sisterhood. Congrats Suzanne!
- Channel Powe (Founder of PPAT) received our Community Achievement Award = Channel has been a champion fighting in our community for many years. She serves on the Balsz School Board & she is the founder of Progressive Power Activist Training (PPAT). Training advocates, organizers, and leaders who will be qualified, competent and active in advocating progressive public policies throughout the sate of Arizona. Congrats Channel!
- Ericka Nicholes – (Director of Marketing & Community Relations for South West Advanced Neurological Rehab) received our Celebration of Women Achievement Award = Ericka is an amazing social worker and human services advocate. She is also a champion in her community as an advocate for children in the Roosevelt School District – she threw herself in the race for school board not as a politician but as a Parent/Mother. With all the tireless work she does, she put on another cap “Foster Mother.” Understanding that all children need that extra assistance for their greatness -she thought of others and not herself. Congrats Ericka!
RWR gives tremendous gratitude for these women who are roles models in our community. I appreciate and applaud you ladies. Keep up the magnificent work!
Much Love; Peace; & Blessings!

Celebration of Women: Sisterhood Sessions Summit
It’s time for the Real Women Revealed Annual Celebration of Women Summit! (EPIC Sisterhood Session Summit) The core of the #RWRSummitis designed for “women’s truth” that every woman and girl has been stunningly and magnificently designed by our creator. We must know that we are valued in every essence of our womanhood.
We must be the example of the “#sisterhoodmovement.” Be able to truthfully stand in self-reflection; united in healthy friendships; and not only be our sister’s keeper but understand we are our sisters.
The goal is to share transparency to help one another. #RWR has designed a Powerful Panel to Initiate & Ignite the Sisterhood Conversation. We are going to speak in depth on Relationships that involve:
Family
Friends
Finances
Sisterhood
Entrepreneurship
What we choose to believe about ourselves affects the way we live!
As we celebrate Women for March (and hopefully all year round) RWR will take the opportunity to celebrate and congratulate women in the areas of :#Sisterhood; #Community; and the all around Celebration of Women Award.

RWR Letter: The Kids Are Ghost
RWR LETTER
Dear RWR, Looking for some good insight on this issue My boyfriend of 3 years (hopefully soon to be fiancé’) has two children ( a daughter and son by his 1st wife) but unfortunately, I can probably count on 1 hand how many times I’ve seen them or spent time with them in 3 years. I have a son, and my son has met my current boyfriend; we have went to amusement parks together; hung out a relative’s house for the holidays; and I have even invited him to my son’s football games. I have invited his kids (thru him) to family events; holiday events, or just even to come and hang out and meet my son. But they never come. Often times he doesn’t even mention them, until I bring them up to ask how they are doing. He sees how active I am in my son’s life; he’s seen my son’s dad pick him up, but I just can’t get a chance to bond with my boyfriends kids. We have been talking about getting engaged, what area we would like to live in; what type of house we like, cars we like,, and even talked about how we could become financially stable; but I can’t get him to connect me with this his kids. I’m not even sure how much time he spends with his kids because most often we are always together, after we get off work or whatever. The weekends we are together – he goes with me to my son’s practice, but it has started to bother me why he is not active in his kids life, or what the hell is going on. When I ask him about it he seems to get tensed up, or say they are busy, or they are out of town, or some type of excuse (that’s how I’m feeling about it now, an excuse). I would like to hear from your RWR group if I am being paranoid, if his kids are just not available or what am I missing. As much as I love my son, and kids overall (I am also very active with my nieces and nephews) I don’t know if this is a red flag or what…WHY CAN’T WE ALL CONNECT WITH HIS KIDS. Now my son is even asking “does he have kids, and where they are?” .I don’t know if I can truly respect a man that doesn’t put his kids in more of a priority light.

FOCUSED ON LIFE!
When you’re focused you don’t pay attention to the negative forces (i.e. people, situations, frenemies, haters, and etc). Life is always going to be challenging and to be in unhealthy situations makes it even more challenging but as I always say “control the controllables.” If you find yourself in a negative or unhealthy situation remove yourself or work on fixing the problem if it’s in your control. If it’s not in your control then pray and God will work it out! (But pray anyway & always)
Life makes us who we are today. I appreciate life and appreciate the ups and downs that have gotten me to this point. So, when you feel that you are getting off track (as we all do at times) remember stay FOCUSED, on whatever that is that brings you joy and happiness!
Much Love, Peace, & Blessings
