Friday Night Love – NEW BOOK ALERT!!!

Hello World, fridaynightlove

Just so you know I didn’t post on Mother’s Day because I was out of town for most of this weekend, but I LOVE my mother and check out “Alice May, It’s Your Day (Happy Mother’s Day to All Mothers)” which is one of my favorite posts about my mother…

In addition to loving my mother, I also LOVE books, and my writer friend Tia McCollors has written a new book about my favorite topic: marriage…Only in this case, it’s a troubled marriage…Presenting Friday Night Love (Days Of Grace)

CAN LOVE HEAL WHAT INFIDELITY TRIED TO DESTROY?

Zenja Maxwell was widowed in her twenties; she never thought she’d be a divorcée, too. Yet that’s the destiny she resigns herself to after learning of her husband’s dalliance with infidelity and kicking him out of the house. She plans a cruise with her best friend, Caprice, to take her mind off Roman and celebrate moving on with her life.

But Caprice won’t let her give up that easily, especially when Roman seems committed to reconciling. She and her husband invite Zenja and Roman to Friday Night Love, a weekly event for couples. Zenja hesitates, but the promise of food and fellowship prevails. She figures she can put up with Roman for one night.

At the events, the women are issued a series of Bible-based challenges designed to help them cultivate respect for their husband. Zenja struggles at first; she isn’t even sure she wants to rekindle the relationship. But Roman is persistent in his pursuit of her, even when he finds out that she nearly cheated on him. Through tragedies, triumphs, and trusted friends, the couple learns never to underestimate the Author of marriage when husbands and wives surrender to Him.

“Heaven Is For Real” Opens TODAY!!!

Hello World,

I’ve been waiting to see this movie which I think would be a perfect family outing for Easter 🙂

Below is a description of the movie and a trailer….

Based on the #1 New York Times best-selling book of the same name “Heaven Is For Real” brings to the screen the true story of a small-town father who must find the courage and conviction to share his son’s extraordinary, life-changing experience with the world.

“Heaven Is For Real” stars Greg Kinnear as Todd Burpo and co-stars Kelly Reilly as Sonja Burpo, the real-life couple whose son Colton (newcomer Connor Corum) experiences Heaven during emergency surgery. Colton recounts the details of his amazing journey with childlike innocence. He describes Heaven in vivid detail, and speaks matter-of-factly about things that happened before his birth … things he couldn’t possibly know. Todd is called upon by his congregation to explain the meaning of Colton’s revelations, and he and his family are challenged to examine their faith and draw meaning from this remarkable event.

The senior production executive for the movie is DeVon Franklin, senior VP of production at Columbia Pictures, and Bishop T.D. Jakes is one of the film’s producers according to Variety magazine.

Hello World,

If you are a follower of this blog, you may know by now that my favorite Christian celebrity is Sherri Shepherd (one of the hosts from “The View”) which is why I was elated to feature an interview with her in my first book “After the Altar Call: The Sisters’ Guide to Developing a Personal Relationship With God.” Why is Sherri Shepherd my favorite Christian celebrity? She isn’t afraid to say what’s on her mind – whether she’s praising Jesus or Beyoncé, she is incredibly nice and she is glamorous! And now, she wants to help all of us be glamorous too!

Me and Sherri :)

Me and Sherri…Obviously, we had black and white on the brain…

I got a chance to see her again yesterday when she stopped by Beauty Master in Morrow, Georgia to present her new wig line LUXHAIR NOW! LUXEHAIR NOW consists of 12 wigs in various lengths, from short pixies to long, luscious waves and comes in 18 colors. And the best part is that Sherri’s collection ranges from $69-$89! Below is a my interview with her as well as some pics from her visit to the the beauty supply store…

On Why She Wears Wigs: “The women in my family have always worn wigs. To this day, I never go wig shopping alone so I love it for bonding. And for the practical aspect, I love the versatility of wigs, and sometimes your hair just needs a break. I like to go the gym and I’m always running around. The days of going to the beauty salon at 9 a.m. and staying until 2 are over so I love the practicality of wigs.”

On What Wig She is Wearing: “I’m wearing the Sleek Angle, and the color is a burgundy mix. I lost my voice. I went to Kandi’s (Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker from RHOA got got married in Atlanta on Friday, April 4) wedding and it was absolutely beautiful. I knew a lot of people would be hugging me so I knew this one would work.”

On Her Favorite Wigs: “One of my favorites is the Goddess Waves. I can channel my inner Sasha Fierce. I also like the Curl Intense wig which is a big curly wig. I wear that one when I rock my jeans and heels with a leather jacket.”

On What Wig Her Husband Sal Prefers: “Sal’s favorite is my natural hair. I usually wear my hair natural on the weekends. But Sal prefers my short wigs. He thinks sisters who wear short styles are the ultimate in confidence.”

On Her New Wig Line: “I’m very excited about my wig line. If I left this earth without a wig line or a bra line, something would be wrong. People tweet me all of the time about how I achieve my look. They are great quality and very affordable. My fans want to stretch their dollars.”

Below are a few of the wigs…
