Guest Post by SiddeeQah – Blogmas 2023 Day 3

 

Hi, Beauties

It’s me again: Siddeeqah, Goldie’s daughter, the Daur of Mo’daur! Today, I’m guest posting and I’m happy to be back. I hope you enjoy what I have written for you all today and I hope it brings you holiday cheer. Here goes:

1. What does Christmas mean to you? Christmas is that short holiday time to spend with my mom exploring so many activities and traditions. With our small family, we are redefining what this season means to us and every year looks different. I love that we can look back on the memories and see how intentional we were about choosing happiness.

2. What are you looking forward to this Holiday season? The Winter Solstice. Though winter is not my favorite season, I love to take that time at the solstice for reflection, introspection, and rest. I’m looking forward to the quiet time to reflect on the past year and set intentions for the next season. It’s such a special time for me, I always receive a lot of blessings through my spiritual gifts.3. What is on your Christmas Wishlist?

My Christmas has changed up a little this year, but here goes:

  • A sound bowl – just one, maybe for the heart chakra, to take my readings and spiritual practices to the next level.
  • A cello or an electric keyboard – maybe not for this Christmas, but it’s been a long time that I’ve wanted to learn the cello. Recently, I’ve been thinking a lot about how much I played around with an electric piano I had when I was a young teen. It has really brought a lot of joy to me daydreaming about learning of these as a hobby.
  • Tickets to the Velaris Starfall Ball – one of my favorite books is A Court of Thorn of Roses and this ball is literally inspired by one of my favorite scene from the series! The tickets are pricey, but the ball is in 2025, enough time for me to get the perfect gown. As one of the few black women who will be in attendance, I will already stand out, but what I have planned will be unforgettable.

    4. What are your top three favorite Christmas songs?
  • Marvin Gaye – I Want To Come Home for Christmas
  • Julie Andrews – My Favorite Things
  • Kelly Clarkson – Wrapped in Red

5. What is the one movie you must watch during the holiday season?

Elf! I must watch Elf every year. This year, Ido hope we watch a few old movies I haven’t seen in a while like Jingle All the Way or the Preacher’s Wife..

Thank you all for reading my guest post! Look out for my next one and Happy Blogmas. ❤

Christmas Wish List – Blogmas 2023 Day 2

 

Hi, Beauties ♥

My Christmas Wish list is pretty small this year because I have already been shopping for the most important things I wanted.  The items below is what I desired for next year or following year. I hope to get at-least one of these item very soon.

  1.  Travel Scope 70 Portable Telescope– This would be a dream being able to see the stars, planets, maybe even a solar eclipse.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.  Apple Rose Gold Mac Computer– This computer looks so beautiful in person and it fits my personality, Bold, Soft and Flirty.

 

 

 

3.  I desire 4 to 5 acres of Developed Land. I can’t insert a pic because I will get a copyright strike but I will add a link so you can see what 5 acres look like.  I am still trying to figure out what state I want my land to be in. The land I want can either be for personal use or investment. https://www.landwatch.com/costilla-county-colorado-farms-and-ranches-for-sale/pid/418091136

A Love Story

I met him in Atlanta.  I was on my way to a conference and he was there. I didn’t like him at first sight. I was on this mission of self love and didn’t have time for men. I didn’t see how attractive & handsome he was.  He walk over trying to tell a little joke and I look at him like he was crazy. He came across cocky & arrogant but sexy as hell.  Of course I said something sarcastic back to him. We would go at it during the course of the day. Continue reading “Daydream Series: Chapter 1”
