Happy Birthday to Seekthebestblog!
We made it a whole year y’all and it’s been a blast!
Friends, I can’t tell you how much it means to me to be here to celebrate my blog’s first birthday with YOU!
My goal was to share some of the best things that life has to offer.
I pray that I’ve done that for these past 365 or so days!
I’d like to thank all of the many followers and viewers who have stopped by to share a laugh, a tear, a bite to eat and everything else in between with Me, Ron and my Dad (when he decides to pop up.)
As for me, frankly, I never imagined that I’d make it this far blogging.
You see, I’ve always fancied myself as a storyteller, writer, photographer, and soul food/music maven.
That’s fine, but it was all in my head and in my personal journals and my files and under my bed and so on…
But now, thanks to this blog, it’s all in your head!
LOL!!!
No, seriously, thank you for digging our stuff and for sharing yours!
Oh, and by the way, Lady G is also celebrating a birthday this week!
I’m a few steps shy of a half century and I am very thankful for it!
So…
Let’s toast it up!
Yes, I just bit Ne-yo’s song “Champagne Life ! ”
Little does he know, he wrote that jam for me!
Click HERE if you want to jam to it with me 🙂
Again, thanks to all of you for stopping by my spot to ‘like’ or simply say hello.
Remember, if you comment, I’ll ALWAYS respond–barring no crazy WP technical difficulties 🙂
Love and light to you all!
Lady G 😘💋
PS: A special thanks to all of you who wished Lady J well on her birthday too! She was over the moon after reading all those wonderful comments 💞

Ah! I love to see you living in colour, a beautiful picture Gwin. I’m a bit late for the party but not too late I hope to wish you and your blog a happy birthday. In my family there are lots of birthdays in February and Miss Alex’s birthday was in December. The problem with these dates is that they can get confused with the festivities instead of you being able to really celebrate your special day. Now you’ll know by now that Miss Chevvy likes to be different so I’d like to recognise your special day the best way I know how. Here are two gifts for you. Happy birthday Love! 🎈🎈💫💫✨✨💞💞
Any here is a poem I wrote for you:
The Magic is always near
Sometimes you know the Magic is near
It somersaults and pirouettes in the air
Announcing that someone special is there
She knows how to bring a smile to your face
Generous in spirit, not frilled behind the lace
A heart so warm, filled with abundant space
She once waved her magic wand to the star
And spotted me amidst the milky way from afar
Soul to soul chemistry, that’s just how things are
When you reach out and touch what you can’t see
You know that this was always destined to be
That you’d touch each other’s lives and hold a key
Unlocking memories, the mysteries of our dreams
Because we know that it’s not always as it seems
We are to each other as the river to the streams
So here I stand raising my glass and saying cheers
Wishing you many blossoms and harvesting years
And if you cry today, let them be with joyful tears
