A Toast to New Orleans- Grateful to be alive and healthy and Praying for those afflicted with Corona Virus and those that have died

Darlings, I hope this blog finds you healthy and peaceful.
Yesterday, I finally got the result that I was waiting from Crescent Care- My COVID 10 test shows that I am NEGATIVE! 
I’m breathing. I’m healthy. I’m truly blessed. I’m grateful for this day

Good afternoon darlings, Let's welcome Tuesday, July 21!
I am grateful and blessed that I tested negative for CODIV 19.
Remember, value each day because you can no longer take them back. We cannot predict what will happen to our lives in the future.,.Be thankful you were able to surpass all the trials… Thank God because He has helped you to become what you are today. Be tough. Life is never easy. There may be reasons that will push you to your limit but you still need to gather all your strength, hold on, and move forward. We do not know what will happen to us, so make sure that you live each day to the fullest. Wear your mask and drink a lot of water
Happiness is everything. Life may be full of hindrances but take time to find what makes you complete and happy.




This morning I was invited by the founding members of the new krewe of Themis to their press conference at Mardi Gras World.
It was announced that the new Krewe of Themis will join the Krewe of Feret as they parade along St. Charles Avenue on February 6, 2020  
Themis is named for the mythological Greek titan who stands for fairness and holds the scales of justice and a sword as symbols. Other former Nyx members created the Mystical Order of the Phoenix, which will parade with the Knights of Sparta in 2021.

Congratulations to the Krewes of Themis and Freret for joining to parade together February 6, 2020
The Krewe of Themis promotes and fosters social justice in the New Orleans Metropolitan area communities and beyond. We are a group of diverse women, uniting to cultivate positivity, and inclusion in our community throughout the year. We believe that feminism is strongest when women of all races and sexual orientations work together for the greater good.
