I am actually in the same boat as you. I had two kids in a two year period so I gained 40 pounds after it all. I use to feel bad too, but I started thinking outside the box. Yes I gain weight but I am still a sexy woman just with curves. If your hus…

Sacred Pampering Principles: Chapter 1

The SBW Syndrome

This chapter discusses the SBW (Strong Black Woman) Syndrome which is a haunting remnant of the powerful Mammie and Aunt Jemima images deeply anchored in our minds from slavery. Mammie was the "nurturer", the "omnipotent caregiver", the "everlasting arm". She could give, give, give and do, do, do without seeming to need a break, breather, or a vacation! The SBW Syndrome shows when we become control freaks and micromanagers of everything and everyone. We have a hard time delegat… Continue

Sacred Pampering Principles: Introduction

Introuduction: Get Ready, Get Set

This chapter talks about the women around you that were your first examples of pampering. For the author, the first one is her Mama. Her mama has a regime of a trip tp the beauty salon every three weeks to allow herself to be serviced. Then there is Mama's "bath-bubbles", that were hands-off to the author and her sister. She further talks about Mama's "soak" and how you knew better than to interrupt her during that time! Her Mama also was a gardener and this is… Continue

The Love of Motherhood: When Love "Is" Enough

My darling little man will turn 9 months old tomorrow. I was just holding him in my arms rocking him to sleep for his afternoon nap. I had a decision to make. I had an afternoon class that was going to start at 3. I live an hour away from school and would have to take the baby to the babysitter, 20 minutes in the opposite direction I needed to go, in about ten minutes. So I could (A) try to strap him down in his carseat, finish packing his baby bag, hop in the car and be on my way or (B) continu… Continue

My Homebirth Story


I went to my weekly midwife appointment Monday afternoon, November 19. My midwife examined me and told me that I was 1 cm dilated with a soft cervix, but the baby was at a -3 position nicely resting above my cervix. So I am thinking "great another couple days or a week to go" even th… Continue

If interested in getting a tax plan written out exclusively for you on things to do to maximize your refund next year, give me a call at 770-947-3667. I will develop a tax plan for you to follow and lead you on your way to beating the IRS. Did you know that the key to beating the IRS is planning! You have to plan to succeed.



Real tax planning isn't about record-keeping and receipts. It's about introducing, explaining, and implementing strategies that help clients hold on to more of their hard-earned cash.



Here are some of the things I can show you that could maximize your refund next year:



Eight ways to avoid the alternative minimum tax
The "S" Corporation strategy Senator John Edwards used to save $562,000 in self-employment tax
Income-splitting strategies to cut family tax bills
The 51-year old strategy that lets clients deduct family medical bills as business expenses
Special investments to reward clients with tax credits
Little-known depreciation strategies for real estate investors
How to deduct children's "allowance"
Smart tax strategies for buying, owning, and selling mutual funds
Call today to get your tax plan in place, you have 6 more months to implement a plan to beat the IRS!
