DIY Marble Clay Bracelet | BOO it Forwad

October 11

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser, MARS. All opinions are mine alone. #BOOItForward #CollectiveBias

It’s already that wicked time of year again. Fall has arrived and the air is filled with cinnamon, pumpkin spice and the overabundance of candy. This is why you should stop by Walmart and grab some treats  to BOO it Forward.  Today, I would like to share with you how I am going to BOO it Forward.  I am going to create a DIY marble clay bracelet and assemble a glam caldron for one of my favorite nurses.

She is one of my neighbors and spends many hours taking care of sick children. However, she shows up to all the community events and spends hours in the community garden. I think she deserves a special surprise this Halloween. It’s really easy to join in on the fun and BOO it Forward in your community. Think about those people who dedicate themselves to serving others and you will find the perfect person to BOO.

Here are the rules so you can join in on all the fun. Also, you can find all the details at BooitForward.com

I am going to show you how I assembled my cauldron of goodies including my DIY marble clay bracelet. I was able to find all my DIY supplies and goodies at Walmart. Walmart is really your one stop shop for all your  BOO’ing needs. I found a variety of sweet treats in fun size M&M’S®, SNICKERS®, TWIX®, Skittles®, and Starburst®.  Also, if you are in the BOO’ing mood enter below to win  a $500 dollar gift card from Walmart.

There are no words to describe my love for my Mama There are no words to describe my love for my Mama fully. She was my biggest fan, my greatest supporter, and the one who helped me navigate life through its many ups and downs. She prayed for me, encouraged me, and always believed in me, even when I doubted myself.

I owe her my life's work and every accolade I've achieved. She saw me through undergrad, guided me as I navigated Corporate America—even though she had never experienced it herself—and kept me grounded through it all. 

She prayed with me in moments of joy and in times of need. She stood proudly by my side on my wedding day and cried with me through some of the most challenging moments of my life.

My mom saved my life in more ways than I can count. Her love and guidance shaped the person I am today, and her passing has forever changed me.

On November 26, 2024, Esther Gleaton went home to be with her ancestors. I find comfort in knowing she is finally at rest, free from pain, and in eternal peace. 

My mother bravely faced a short but aggressive battle with Plasma Cell Leukemia, spending 72 days fighting inpatient at the Northside Hospital Cancer Bone Marrow Transplant Unit. She fought with courage, grace, and incredible strength.

In sickness and health, my father, Orbie Gleaton, was by her side daily. He saw her through the very dark days and celebrated the joyful moments with her. 

His love and devotion to my mom never wavered—he never left her side. The love they shared is eternal and serves as a beautiful testament to the bond they built together.

Mama, your love will guide me forever. You are my heart, and I will carry you with me always.

Angela, Orbie, Carla, Carmelia & Amelia we will take care of Daddy. 🤍🕊️ #Multiplemyeloma #cancersucks  #plasmacellleukemia

As we proceed (God is doing a great work)
Is that this work
Did not begin with you (God is doing a great work)
Our mothers' mothers 
And fathers' fathers 
Planted seeds
When we were but the faint notion of a dream 
In their mind
They hope for a harvest a legacy, a great work
So make your next step forward
Help us to connect the dots and see
"Wherever you go in this world you will never be a "Wherever you go in this world you will never be alone. You carry with you the hopes and prayers of the ancestors. There will be days in this life when you feel alone, but know that the ancestors are with you. When you go for that job interview remember that you are carrying the ancestors with you. Everyone who has ever cared for and prayed for you goes with you when you are alone. Some of those people will never get to have your experiences or go in those boardrooms, but you carry them with you. You are the manifestation of an impossible dream - through middle passage, slavery, reconstruction, Jim Crow, segregation, civil rights - they believed that it was possible. My sister(s) you will never be alone because we all go with you."— Maya Angelou
