A little sweet gem I wrote with the talented @wells.hanley quite some time ago. It’s a favorite of mine. I hope it makes you feel cozy and loved.

CINNAMON GIRL! Bella can’t get enough! Earthy, warm and comforting. Cinnamon has been used throughout the African diaspora for spiritual rituals and good health benefits, as well as baking delicious rolls, cookies, pies and cakes!!

HAPPY HOUR!! Thinking about turning these into a selection of cocktail napkins, bar towels and such. Would you be interested? Which ones are your favorites?

WHAT IF…Every kid had their own monster? I often imagine my own monster when I get mad. He acts out my angry thoughts in the safe confines of my mind. LOL I’m sure a therapist would have a field day with that one! I thought I’d imagine a few more. What does YOUR monster look like?

These children can’t wait to get Miss Honeytruffle’s deee-licious Orange Blossom cupcakes in their MOUTHS! I can’t blame them! (I can’t wait to make this story into an animated cartoon series for kids everywhere!)
