Good morning my darling family and friends. It is a beautiful Monday, November 1st. Let's say goodbye to October and welcome November I, 2021 - All Saints' Day or to me Día de los Muertos—the Day of the Dead—
The 2021 Halloween weekend is going to down my memory lane as a very memorable one that started on Friday when I reigned as the Queen of Halloween for the French Quarter Citizens and concluded on Sunday when our beloved Saints provided the perfect end to a great Halloween weekend by beating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a spooktacular way 36-27.
Darlings, I am oraying for a healthy November, a productive November, a disciplined November, an organized November, a lucky November & a blessed prosperous November.
Today, November 1, I feel so blessed to be alive, healthy, and I was able to reign as the Queen of Halloween for the spectacular French Quarter Citizens' Halloween Fundraiser at the historic New Orleans Jazz Museum. It was quite a night and thanks to Voodoo Priestess Cinnamon Black that transformed me into a fun-loving Voodoo Queen!
