Happy Friday and cheers to the weekend. It’s been a week. How did you do with the Fall Back this past Saturday? I am still struggling. The extra hour that we supposedly received I can’t tell to be honest. So this week has been a struggle but the media events and management of stress has gone up.
Celebration of Birthdays Last Friday Dinner Plans
All of my close friends don’t live as close as I would like them to. So when I am able to physically able to celebrate a birthday I take full advantage of it. On this past Friday I took my Friend, Kyla to celebrate her 40th. It was a little delayed as her birthday was almost 2 weeks ago but with friends a delay is never a denial. We dined at Terrain Cafe located in Glen Mills. This is a BYOB so I made sure I came with presents and Champagne. We ate really well and just enjoyed catching up. Happy Birthday Kyla!
Skeleton Crew
Although I went to Bristol Riverside Theatre to see Skeleton Crew last Thursday, I always give the theatres a separate review. I enjoyed the play. It was touching, raw, and real. I enjoyed the energy that each actor/actresses gave in their performance. Bristol Riverside Theatre always gives an amazing play no matter what the show is. You can read the review. Also it’s in production until November 21st so get your tickets.
Drury Beer Garden by Opa
Opa presents a limited time pop up at Drury Beer Garden. Expect Greek bites and along with Greek wines and cocktails. The atmosphere is laid back with good vibes all around. I attended the Media preview party. It was a lo of fun. The selections on food and drink was diverse. I tasted a few items and all around had great service. Make sure you frequent Drury Beer Garden as it will not be here long. Also see my recap Reel.
City Winery
I attended a Media event with Elle of Siponwhat to go to City Winery. Wine is my thing and I had a blast and a half. City Winery has wine, food, lounge, and a live music to fit any occasions. You can come for happy hour, catch up with friends, or make it an intimate vibes. You will be wowed from the cascading wine walkway too. The colors and everything about this winery is inviting. So the next time you are looking for a wine time, make City Winery your go to! Thanks to Philly Pr Girl.
Love + Grit Storefronts Project
I had the honor to attend the Love + Grit Storefront Project. It was an amazing display of 12 BIPOC artist as it highlights 24 Black and Brown businesses affected by Covid-19. The City of Philadelphia will be bringing back their Shop Black Business Fridays during the holiday season and beyond. What you can expect is to see these beautifully aesthetic paintings all through various locations in the city. At the unveiling I had an opportunity to see some of the artwork and it’s absolutely amazing in every way. A special thanks to Cashman and Associates for inviting me. The energy was truly amazing. You can see my recap Reel.
Conversations with Toi Friday Podcast Drop
This week we came with 2 episodes. The first was a bonus episode showcasing Jack McBrayer’s new show Hello Jack, The Kindness Show. I interviewed him as he discussed the inspiration. If you missed the episode, plan to tune in.
The full episode for this week was with Papa Ray.
He is a personal transformation coach. He has a passion for helping people be better by “Understanding Your Owner’s Manual.” One of the most powerful transformation tools he uses is “A Father’s Blessing.” This is where he stands in the place of a father and bless them as a son or daughter. He’s have been using this blessing to touch people’s hearts and lives of all ages and backgrounds. He has seen families restored and lives radically changed after people received this blessing.
After surviving two major depressions, the last time coming within 5 minutes of losing his life, he is now teaching people how to change the meaning of what happened in their past so it will not be a part of their future. He has seen people have major life-changing breakthroughs in just a few hours using this method.
He has been married to the same amazing women for 36 years. Ray is an international speaker and coach, a pastor, missionary, author, artist, and poet. He has started and runs three companies and a ministry. Ray is now building a local and national outreach to raise awareness of absent and abusive fathers.
