Erin’s Picks: Winter List
Spa Days:
As the temperatures drop, self-care
takes precedence on my list. Embracing
the cooler months often involves
indulging in spa days, treating myself to
hydrotherapy soaks or invigorating body
scrubs. It's a rejuvenating experience
that leaves me feeling refreshed and
pampered.
Dear Readers,
The holiday season has finally arrived, bringing with it a wave
of joy and festivities. It's a time cherished for various reasons
- from the enchanting holiday attire and gatherings to the
delightful seasonal cuisines and heartwarming movies. More
than anything, this season is about weaving precious memories
with our loved ones and basking in the magic that surrounds us.
Reflecting on my own cherished memories, I recall the
annual tradition of watching 'Miracle on 34th Street' with my
grandmother. Through her eyes, I absorbed the enchantment
of the holidays, creating enduring memories that still warm
my heart. This season offers an array of delights, from vibrant
holiday parades to the joyous celebrations adorned with
delectable feasts. It's a time meant for savoring every moment,
cherishing the experiences that knit us closer together.
In the midst of the hustle and bustle, I implore you to pause and
revel in each passing moment.
Warm Regards,
Erin Elise Enyinda
Editor-in-Chief
Sequins and Sparkles:
Nothing quite captures the spirit
of the season like the shimmer of
sequins and sparkles. Whether
adorning an outfit or a cozy corner
at home, they have the power to
infuse cheer even on the dreariest
days.
Celebrating Friends and Family:
One of my favorite things to
do in the summer is find all the
live music events that I can and
check them out. The excitement
of a live show, along with the
crowd participation, the warm air,
summer fashion and food are an
unequalled experience.

This question strikes at the core of a
journey many of us undertake in our
everyday lives. When facing the aftermath
of toxic relationships, it's natural to
experience anger. However, it's imperative
to resolve this emotion and release the
situation from our hearts. My personal
journey has involved delving deep into the
parts of myself that permitted behaviors
that devalued or failed to honor me as I
honored others.
Confronting
our
internal
belief
systems that allowed such outcomes
is challenging. It's crucial to note that
experiencing toxic relationships doesn’t
imply agreement on our part, but rather
a need to explore why these situations
or individuals held an attraction for us.
Through this introspection, I've learned
to acknowledge the parts of me that
were fractured before these encounters
and the aspects that suffered damage
afterward. I turn to prayer, seeking God's
help to release these burdens and to
move forward peacefully.
Healing from such wounds takes time,
especially considering the extent of the
damage. It's important to be gentle with
ourselves if memories resurface.
Lastly, my healing has come from
immersing
myself
in
God’s
love.
Understanding His love for me has led to
a restoration of my ability to love myself
more completely and profoundly.
May you come to see yourself through
the eyes of divine love and rekindle a
passionate and profound love for yourself.
