Yes, we've been quiet...

Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do and talk about it later....

That's what it's been like the past couple of days.  Life has been a whirlwind of knowing when it's time to take a step back, give attention to what's really important and re-evaluate.  Anything that grows, changes and so, you do what you gotta do!

I'm grateful to have the opportunities that I have!  I spent a little time with family in Charlotte (where I'm from) and gave my #1 fan (my 13 y/o niece some QT!) it was what my soul needed!  Hugged on my mom, laid eyes on my sister and was able to connect with family and friends (the bestie was even home from D.C.!)

But work doesn't necessarily stop just because life calls.  So, with laptop in tow and a very pleasurable experience at The Drury Inn & Suites (Northlake), I had free wifi, complimentary wine/cocktails and food in the evening while I relaxed in the 'Lazy Boy' connecting with clients via Skype, returning emails and my phone rang so much one day, my neice even sighed...that's when I knew, it was time to get quiet again. Did I mention I'm staying at The Drury Inn & Suites ALL the time whenever and wherever I can??!! AWESOME!

When I put in the needed family time, I wined down at night and closed some significant deals for a few clients.  I love negotiations!  So with that, I'm celebrating all the wins in spite of!  Pink Stiletto Valet, Model, Philanthropist and Fashion Expert, Renee Knorr, Color Blind International's stellar Matchmaker, Ming Gregory (WOWSERS!), the brilliantly artistic, Salakida, Author & Humanitarian, Linda Cox, Mr. Hello Beautiful, Dr. Nathaniel Johnson, III, and maybe some newbies to the roster...Jersey Girl Sports (WHOOP!!)  So as you can see, I found a way to still do me while I was doing what needed to be done!

You become quiet to refocus, re-purpose, replenish and sometimes even to do a little 'house-cleaning' *wink*

This Week on The Dr. Andrea Show....13 Deadly Mistakes SMART Women Make in Relationships!

Tune in to "Empowered Living! With Dr. Andrea" with Special Guests including a

Woman who left her Abuser and a former Abuser

(Atlanta, D.C., & LA) - When pictures of Rhianna came out on the Internet showing her beautiful face tattered and bruised because the fist of boyfriend Chris Brown struck her in a violent attack, it left most of us in disbelief and shock - that yes, even the young and fabulous in Hollywood struggle with the same issues we deal with or talk about on a daily basis in our most intimate relationships. Yes, romantic relationships can be wonderful with the right person but as Dr. Andrea states, "A relationship with the wrong person can wreak havoc on a person's life leading to years of heartache, emotional/social damage, and even physical damage."
· It is estimated that 2 million to 4 million US women are assaulted by a domestic partner every year. Twelve million women (25% of the female population) will be abused in their lifetime.

· One study estimated that more than 3% (approximately 1.8 million) of women were severely assaulted by male partners or cohabitants over the course of a year, while other studies indicate the percentage of women experiencing dating violence, including sexual assault, physical violence, or verbal and emotional abuse, ranges as high as 65%
On Monday, July 13th at 1pm ET, Dr. Andrea will be discussing the 13 deadly relationship mistakes most smart women make in their quest to find a lifelong partner. She will be joined live by Kimberly, a woman who was abused in her first marriage of three years although the warning signs were blaring when she and her ex were only dating and "SP", a former abuser, will talk about why he found himself committing violence against women in his relationships. This timely and relevant show is not to be missed!
