Be sure to connect with her on Instagram @sharandafoster I recently enjoyed a last minute staycation at the Wyndham Atlanta Galleria and had to share my awesome experience! The front desk staff was extremely welcoming and pleasantly answered my millions of questions throughout my stay. Located about 15 minutes or so from downtown Atlanta, the hotel is easily accessible from the 285 and 75 highways.
Upon entry you will be pleasantly surprised by the upscale decor including striped walls and plush seating. The room accommodation is equally chic, including a lounge chair, desk area and flat screen television. The onsite restaurant offers an assorted menu of tasty cuisine options and a breakfast buffet with a hot omelette station. My guest and I indulged in the shrimp & grits, ravioli, fried green tomatoes and drinks from the bar, (which were the perfect mix of strong & sweet!) There is a heated inside pool, which is awesome considering the unpredictable Atlanta weather. There is also a 24 hour snack bar beside the front desk, (had to snag some late-night m&m's). Overall I was very pleased with my stay and ofcourse brought along my Glambitious Success Journal to plan more amazing empowerment efforts. I will definitely be returning whenever I need a quick getaway or some downtime!

Erica wrote her phenomenal devotional and story titled "Mending the Broken Spirit-A Devotional for Women" as a help to reveal the struggles and hurdles that women face and how she too had to overcome some of those same struggles that others do today; How she looked for love in all the wrong places, channeled her emotions the wrong way and inflicted them on others and much more. Erica hopes that her devotional and self-revealing stories will help empower and prevent women who are facing some of these same challenges from taking some of the same dark roads that she did before walking into her salvation. She hopes that these stories and tips will be an encouragement to move you to be the woman than you have been created to be and seek dealing and healing much differently than society tells you to.
