This completes the look of the blue apples.

Nothing, is ever as it appears to be.

The end of one thing is the beginning of another, signifying the continuation of life no matter how it appears to be.

This completes the blue apples but is the beginning of the “Diamonds and Denim” set.

A huge thank you to my loyal clients who know how to find me when they need me, even when I’m not posting… they KEEP ME CREATING 💙

These are all the same apples as the previous post.

The difference?
I believe it is the lighting and you know we “Gotta hit them angles”. - Drake

On another note, check out this reflection/shine!!!

Can you find the slide that has little Ms Cerenity at her table doing work??

💙 This still wasn’t the final look. I was simply enjoying the journey of creation 💙

Colors carry vibration, each having a scientific influence on the body.

Perspective, also plays a very big role in the interpretation of these colors.

Said all of that because this angle offered this beautiful royal blue hue (with me reflected) in this glass apple.

Reflection is a necessary part of growth. You must know where you’ve come from, have the proper understanding and perspectives of how you got there in order to effectively plan your steps to get where you desire to be.

It’s important to keep an open mind to the fact that things aren’t always as they appear! Our moods/feelings influence all of the above. 💙

The final look after adding color to the eyes… I kept looking at these apple and thinking, “Something is off!”

When I figured out it was the eyes I immediately pulled every apple with a bear from their box and filled in the eyes.

You can tell from the original video the difference this small little detail made.

So much lies behind our eyes… they’re often referred to as the “windows to the soul”. I HAD to give these little guys life!! 🐻

I love any order that incorporates teddy bears!

Fun Fact: My son who passed away was nicknamed bear from an ultrasound. We couldn’t identify the s*x, but “Twin A” looked like a teddy bear so the woman was kind enough to type “Bear” on my ultrasound and Cincere was “Bear” before Bear was Cincere.

Basketball Donuts…

I’ve wanted to switch up the donuts I use for a while from my traditional KK’s. I mean, they’re great to eat… but for dipping and decorating I’d like something with a more consistent circular shape.

Drop recommendations below on other brands you enjoy.

These are flowers I planted in honor of my son at the entrance of my old apartment.

Ironically, my neighbor lost her son the year prior.

These flowers are said to attract butterflies!

I shared with her my story as I planted them and I told her that these flowers can be here to remind us of our sons whom we’ve planted back into Gods earth.

While neither of us still live there, I often wonder if the flowers do. Either way, our sons live forever in our hearts.

While losing a child may not be the worst thing (because pain is pain), understanding life after such death and pain can’t be understood unless you’ve had the experience.

We sympathize, but Gods grace and wisdom through having lived the experience is in my opinion, the only thing that allows you to truly EMPATHIZE with a woman who has had to do the unthinkable… bury her child.

I share my story, planting my sons name in the hearts of those who listen because I’ve vowed to honor him with everything I do and ensure his name lives forever.

Cincere Intentions is my legacy, the story I share, the death that brings me life. 🌼

The final look!

Graduation candy apples from 2020 😫 I’m horrible about posting. I go through spells where I will upload content and then… nothing.

Today, I feel like sharing but will keep it Mandy Lou’s (the desserts) related.

Maybe this is a sign of another deletion session, removing old content and photos.

What do you do to create freedom for yourself?

One of my ways is removing “old” data, possessions, etc. It’s almost like the introduction of releasing what is no longer applicable to who I am now and embracing the next season, making space for the new.

“My eyes are greennnn
Cuz I eat a lot of vegetables..”

Today didn’t goes as I thought, but life rarely does.
I’ve learned, through my sons death to embrace life as it comes and to learn to see the good.

“All things work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose.”

Jeremiah 29:11 is the promise you gave me in culinary school, and it is what keeps my faith. You’ve promised to prosper and not harm me.

No matter what life has given us as a family, what never changes is being their mom, planting a tree and leaving it for them to take comfort in its shade as it grows.

Leaving behind The Legacy!

Nurturing Life with Cerenity, Pacience and Cincere Intentions.

March 30, 2008 my life changed forever.

It is the day my beautiful and ONLY BEGOTTEN son took on a new form of life.

There’s never a day that goes by that I do not think of you. And while I’m still grieving, 14 years later… each year I allow a part of me to die with you.

This year, I am truly going to dig deep within my being to rebirth you.

Cincere, your life’s story could never be captioned. I AM YOUR STORY.
I am you!

I eat, sleep, s**t and breath Cincere Intentions into all I do. I don’t always get it right… but “this year gone be different I set my intentions”
- Middle Child

You, Cincere.. are the middle child. You are so much more than I could ever express.

I’ve opted not to share you these last couple of years. Not your birthday nor today, the day of your death.
It’s personal. A little too personal for a public and social platform.

So I’m here to write the vision and make it plain. Someone told me, “No one knows what you do.” Still trying to process what SHE MEANT, but I am going to manifest my biggest dream!

“I got big dreams no superstition man, that s**t gone be the death of me!”
- Kendrick Lamar, Middle Child Remix

Music, is the soundtrack of my life.
My life, is a video for the music.
Music is all around us! Everywhere.

Life, is all around us! Everything is alive. Everything has a spirit. I carry yours with me… so you’ve never truly left this earth.

Energy cannot be created not destroyed. Only transferred.

Thank you for giving me purpose: Cincere Intentions

You say your theme is Disney and it’s an automatic YES for me!

This color palette was swoon worthy!

I believe burgundy/maroon is one of those colors that pairs well with anything outside of the “red family”.

Loved everything about this next set!

Working with multiple colors is like a love hate relationship, especially when it’s fondant.

I truly love the final look of all of the colors “coming together” to create one unified look. I don’t like the prep work for multiple colors.

Ironically, this same client has me working with multiple colors this week.. I am excited to see it come together.

Sugar cookies with Sprinkles is how my client asked Mandy Lou’s to be a sweet part of welcoming Baby Pender.

I LOVE flowers!
Specifically, fresh flowers.

For this order I used custom made tags on half of the order and artificial flowers on the other half.

I loved how this turned out back then and two years later I still love them!

SN: I miss this apartment. Everything about it. To include this bay window where I would receive the PERFECT natural lighting.

I told King “Ima just sit on this couch I LOVE, and listen to this song, then Ima leave”. Class was over… but MUSIC, is the SOUNDTRACK to my LIFE! - Mandy Lou Ford I am obedient to Gods voice… so I sat quiet as a church mouse with my Kate Spade bag, beautiful box of creation and “communion wine” the King gave me. PS… I had icing on my chin 🙃 #MandyLous #TheeMandyLous #MandyLouFord

If I post a video, there’s music playing in the background... listen closely! Music is the soundtrack. I speak, like much of the music that is heard and re-quoted in captions today. Yet, people get confused about what they “see”. Music is where I drown myself in the words of others who “get me”. Yet others who “see” me, get confused by what they “hear”. 🤔 We love that old school Mary J that was broken and “going down”, failing to realize the truth in her lyrics. I respect all forms of art. My passion is music. These are the people who are brave enough to speak their truth, let their ego shine or bear their heart breaks for the world to hear. There’s no check attached to my truth. So until there is, their lyrics will have to do. #MusicIsTheSoundtrack #TheirWords #MyStory #MandyLou #TheeMandyLous #MandyLous #TreatDealer #HopeGiver #KnowThySelf #IAmTheeMandyLou #WhoTheFcukAreYOU #LearnToUnlearn #MarathonRunner #SlowAndSteady #2020Vision #ThirdEyeSight #Visionary #CultivatorOfMyLife #ManifestingTheLifeIWant #SoulFULL #Soulful #LoveIsWhatsNeededMost #LoveHeals #SelfMadeBecauseGodMadeMe #iMotivateTheSouls #LoveIsMyMuse #Muse #Cincere #Intentional #iSetMyIntentions

If I post a video, listen closely... there’s ALWAYS music in the background.. and occasionally my former business partners voice as she would always talk as soon as I hit “Record”. Music is my therapy. It’s how I hear others speak what I feel, artistically. So I drown myself in the lyrics. We can listen to the music but can’t handle that energy on my page 😒 Until my words carry the weight of y’alls opinion, my words won’t be heard. Just the music. Their words. My story. Music, the soundtrack of my life. #MusicIsTheSoundtrackOfMyLife #MandyLou #TheeMandyLous #MandyLous #TreatDealer #HopeGiver #KnowThySelf #IAmTheeMandyLou #WhoTheFcukAreYOU #LearnToUnlearn #MarathonRunner #SlowAndSteady #2020Vision #ThirdEyeSight #Visionary #CultivatorOfMyLife #ManifestingTheLifeIWant #SoulFULL #Soulful #LoveIsWhatsNeededMost #LoveHeals #SelfMadeBecauseGodMadeMe #iMotivateTheSouls #LoveIsMyMuse #Muse #Cincere #Intentional #iSetMyIntentions

Circa: September 2018 - Always working - Always music as the soundtrack: “Because I'm rich off cocaine... . I'm not bullet proof, I'm fully proof That you can make it here... .

Anxiously awaiting the release of ticket sales for Lauryn Hill’s upcoming 20th Anniversary of The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill tour as I reminisce back to this The House of Blues performance last year. You had to be there to understand the energy in that building. So much was taking place in our city, Orlando at the time. It was great to see sooo many people of all backgrounds come together to sway, sing, jump and dance to the soulful sounds of this legend. Power and knowledge pour from her lyrics. 🎼: Forgive then Father for they know not what they do. #LaurynHill #HouseofBlues #ThrowbackThursday #Neosoul #GoodMusic #MandyLous #TheeMandyLous #TheMiseducationofLaurynHill #LaurynHillUnplugged
