“NIKKI, YOU LOOK LIKE A DIFFERENT PERSON”
That was from my friend, Mabel, yesterday. I told her that she has been a significant part of my transformation as she was the one to introduce me to smoothies, but she corrected me saying, “No. It’s the work of God.” HERE’S THE DEAL: God makes us BETTER! I’m amazed when I look back on …

GOD, I TAKE BACK THAT PRAYER FOR A CLOSER WALK WITH YOU!!!
That’s me having some fun and JOKING with God, lately! I’m so on to Him now, and I know that the way He brings us closer to Him is through tribulations, challenges, disappointments, pain, hurts, frustrations and LOTS OF SUFFERING.

WHAT’S THE BIGGEST LESSON YOU’VE LEARNED FROM AN ENEMY?
I asked my family at our Christmas Day Brunch recently. Julie said she had learned from a girl at school who’s always very insulting to her friends to be NICE. I said I had learned that what others think and say about me is really NONE of my business. And our eleven-year-old son, Emmie, surprised …
