Burn, Baby, Burn

I have been down for the count this week! I was running on such a high for weeks and then I started to get overwhelmed and instead of stopping to refuel and take care of myself I ran on my tank until it was on E. My first thought was to call it Burnout and I won't go that far but I will say that I am feeling pretty burned out. So this week? We are talking about some of the things I did that go me here and some practices I want to make sure to do more regularly so that this doesn't happen again any time soon.

Shelf-Centered: From Dark to Light

This week we sit down with Christiauna ’CeCe’ Simmons author of "From Dark to Light". She was born and raised in Little Rock, Arkansas, and is the second oldest of four.  Christiauna believes that her parents Christopher and Tomarro Simmons groomed her to freely express herself as she grew up. Throughout grade school, she developed a love for writing which ultimately became a conduit for her purpose. At 25, CeCe is a new mother, published author, and uses her voice through blogging where she transparently shares her experiences in hopes to inspire others! She plans to continue to use her platform to spread the message of love and hope to everyone as she, too, navigates through life’s twists & turns.
