Viva Mexico

Man oh man, to be able to go on a 2 week vacation is TRULY A BLESSING!

Now that I'm back, living in Chicago and New York, I realize how much important it is to just stop and take a break, even if its a #Staycation.

Over the next couple of days I'll be posting different vlogs for each journey we experienced over the 2 weeks.

Just a glimpse of paradise.

So the first thing you should know about me is that before Mexico, I've only traveled outside the country to Bahamas before Passports were "needed" to travel. I honestly didn't think of getting a passport simple because I was focused on establishing my career, well LIFE.

After a year of settling in New York, it was an invitation to go to Mexico for a concert that I realized I DID NOT HAVE A PASSPORT. A month before the trip I had to do the rushed passport process, which thankfully I received in a week, then 'BOOM' I was ON MY WAY TO MEXICO.

As any first time traveler outside the country, especially after years of not, you're excited yet extremely nervous. You hear all the stories about theft, crooked cops, and more; but on the other side you hear how beautiful it and the people are, and well you're traveling into new territory.

Now the trip I'm going to speaking about over the next couple of days will be from my 2nd year of traveling to Mexico, but I wanted to give you all a quick backstory to my first jitters.

This years trip was PHENOMINALLLL!! Maybe because it was my 2nd year here so I was a bit more comfortable and confident or simply because we started at the concert THEN went to Tulum. Last year we did Tulum then concert which in our minds was kind of backwards.

The first part of out trip we stayed at a resort and the second part of the trip we stayed in a beautiful, eco friendly hut, right on the water.

Talk about relaxation !

I can't compare which part was the best because they were two completely different experiences.

I won't say to many spoilers, but we definitely experienced a lot in Tulum and there is SOOO much to see in Mexico overall.

Sidebar: Not to get too political, but its crazy to see and hear what is going on in our country when this place in the people are extremely sweet. Im from a place where hospitality is natural, but in Mexico its SuperNatural.

Overall, Mexico is a beautiful place to visit. Between the Ruins, the Cenotes, the authentic food, people, and simply the culture you'll be left with an mark of aww. I hope you all enjoy the videos of my adventures in Mexico and if you have any questions about the trip, where to go, etc. don't hesitate to ask.

-Blessings, Lee.

Happy Valentine's Day

Before time gets too far ahead of me, HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY, to all the single people, married couples, divorces, new relationships, friendships, and mourners.

Even though there is an entire political side behind Valentine’s day and what it REALLY means, I have come to appreciate Valentine's day as an entirely different kind of day due to my grandmothers passing Feb.14th 2014

Today I honor her life in appreciation to the foundation she passed on to us as it was passed on to her. I could only imagine what it felt like for my mother, aunties, and uncle to experience the death of their mother at 65 years of age, but even as the oldest grandchild the pain when in thoughts of her cut DEEEEEP. My grandmother taught me things from God, the gospel, prayer, the love of coffee, being wise with my words, humility, being a young lady, scratching her back lol, and not to invest my money on things that would last a second/day versus something of value that will last multiple uses.

As my mother would say “I never knew what ‘being poor’ was", my mom always made sure we had EVERYTHING we needed. I only knew that I wasn't "rich" was when I got older and seen the more people had. #BigFacts

So wether you’re single, going through hard times in your current relationship, married, #couplegoals, and/or #Livingyourbestlife, never feel like you’re alone on days where the world has made, bigger than what is really is, because there are things happening or have happened that are worse than being alone when the world seems to be “so put together”.

EITHER WAY, ENJOY THIS DAY LIKE YOU WOULD ANY DAY.

Why? Because its another day you made it HERE! *Mind blown*

God Bless & Happy Valentine's Day!

First step into the new

Oh yea baby WE MADE IT INTO 2019!! Its okay, give yourself a moment to praise and shout with thanksgiving about being one of the “lucky” ones to have made it to see another year 🙌🏽🤗.

The start of my new years was extremely chill and relaxed, because this is the year where some of my goals are to real, have peace, and lots of joy. With all the goal I have written down RELAXATION and TRUSTING GOD are definitely on the top of that list.

Seeing how the latter half of my 2018 year wrapped, I know God has an exciting year ahead !

What are you epedcting this 2019 year? How did you send the last few hours of the 2018 year and the first couple of hours at the start of he year?

The funniest thing about this is remembering as child trying to stay up passed 12am, I believe up to 12 years of age, and I always woke up the next morning like DANNNG I missed it again lol.

I look forward to hearing from you all about your goals, expectatoions, and ideas.

Speak soon, ya girl

Lee Poitier! 🤗😘
