    Something New Is Happening

    Hello Honeybees,

    As we near the end of 2017 and get ready to move into 2018 I hope like me you are setting new goals for the new year. You don’t have to wait until January to start working on your new goals. Why wait? Start NOW.  I set some new goals for the blog and I didn’t wait until 2018 to put them into action.

    I have a new name to reflect my new focus and because when I see you all out people will say  “Hey Honeybee” and I LOVE IT. I love the city of Memphis and I want to start embracing it and sharing all things Memphis from my vantage point.

    Let me know what you think of the new name.

    Welcome to The Honeybee 901. Inspired by all things Memphis.

    I’m starting the new year by doing a collaboration with some other 901 bloggers. Yall, I found my blogger tribe. So please go show them some love.  Bianca is a fashion blogger at Curvaceously Bee Ashlee is a chic fashion blogger at Big World Huge Style. Chastity is a fitness and lifestyle blogger at Sweat In Mascara and Marshella Taylor is a fashion and inspirational blogger at Tayloredxtaylor.  This weeks theme is Friends & Family.

    Playing games with Friends & Family can be a lot of fun and depending on the game it can be serious. You will NEVER catch me at the Spades table. I know my limits.

    Dressing casual to hang out and play is just my style. Jeans, boots and sweater.

    I’m ready to play. Chess anyone?

    Sweater: Target, Jeans: Old Navy, Boots: Unisa

    Thank you for being on this blogger journey with me. There are new adventures to take in 2018 and I look forward to taking you with me. If you see me out in the 901 PLEASE say something.  Hey Honeybee!!!!

  • Are You Playing Chess or Checkers?

    Hello Honeybees,

    Coming to Memphis as a child for my summer vacations holds many great memories for me. My cousins & I would have so much fun. It was during those vacations that my uncles taught us how to play checkers. It wasn’t a hard game to learn and only required a little strategy.  Collecting your opponents checkers to get to the other side so that your opponent could “king you”. All checkers carry the same weight until they reach the other side. Checkers is a relatively quick game. You could easily play a game while waiting on your table at Cracker Barrel.     You know you’ve done it!!

    Now Chess is on another level. Chess requires a lot of strategy and not all pieces are created equal. Chess is game that takes time, patients & skill. Chess players in general think 5 moves ahead while checkers is played in the moment.

    So why am I talking about Chess & Checkers? Glad you asked…

    These games got me to thinking about my goals and the action or inaction behind them.

    Am I playing Chess or Checkers?

    If I don’t have any action steps to help me reach my goals, I say its checkers.  Once I put action steps in place AND act on them….THEN I move into a game of Chess.

    Which game are you playing?

    Planning ahead means making an investment and commitment in your future. Without planning you are letting life happen to you. You are playing checkers.

    We must be strategic in planning. We must plan 5 steps ahead.

    Today I challenge you to a game of Chess!!
