Migraines & White Chocolate Popcorn Mix

College days were some of the best times of my life. It’s where I found my lifelong friends and although we have moved away and started our lives we try and get together annually someplace special. This year it was my turn to pick a place or host everyone at my home. I enjoy hosting, and an annual reunion of my girlfriends is right up there with graduations and weddings. An occasion that you can’t miss. It’s a must no matter what because as wives, moms and professionals, girl time is right up there with breathing.

While I enjoyed every minute of college, at the age of 18 I experienced my first migraine. I’ve always known the warning signs and sometimes the excitement of getting my home ready for guests can trigger a migraine for me. But always consult your doctor if you think you are suffering from migraines.

However, I can always count on Excedrin® Migraine to help save the day. Without Excedrin® Migraine my annual college reunion plans would’ve been a complete fail.  I would’ve spent all day hiding from the light, sound and smells because these are things that bother me the most when I experience a migraine. I needed all these things to function to prepare food, clean and decorate for my girls.

I don’t have to pretend with my college girls, but I like to act somewhat that I have everything together being that I am a southern belle. We are known for our hospitality and the ability to welcome all people into our homes. Everyone is a member of my family when you are a guest in my home. I can’t let something like a migraine ruin my plans and have me let my friends down and find hotels for everyone.

That would be fun, but not as much fun as watching movies and catching up on old times sitting on my living room floor. Because although Vegas sounds fun, in reality, we like snacking and telling old stories. And then watching viral videos of people doing crazy things online.  That is where my favorite popcorn snack is a crowd pleaser. It has white chocolate, popcorn and pretty much any form of candy and saltiness I can find. I like to call it my white chocolate popcorn mix.

Ingredients

  • Popcorn
  • Bakers Chocolate
  • Pretzels
  • Sprinkles

Instructions

I use microwave popcorn. Follow the instructions to pop the bag. Then melt the bakers chocolate according to instructions. I also use the microwave checking every 30 seconds to ensure the chocolate does not burn. Finally combine pretzels, melted chocolate, and sprinkles in a large serving bowl and enjoy this simple treat.

Please keep in mind; you may not use Excedrin® products from Walmart like Excedrin® Migraine if you are under 18 or pregnant and remember to always read “Excedrin® Warnings of Usage” and use as directed.  Remember that your migraine demands a migraine solution: Excedrin Migraine starts to relieve migraine pain in 30 minutes. #1 Neurologist Recommended*

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
