Lesson #4- Sedinam is Almost 2
Dear Sedi, My dad always told the guys that were interested in me that, “my daughter will not have a boyfriend until she finishes her four years of college.” Now, while that didn’t happen, I “superseded my expectations” he told me awhile back. He also tells the nurses how proud he is of me. They… Continue reading

Lesson #2- Sedinam is Almost 2
Dear Sedinam, I learned the true definition of focus watching you. Watching you as you are grasping a new concept is mindblowing to me. You are this tiny person full of determination. You center your entire attention to whatever has your attention. At that time. It’s a reminder to me. Never ever allow anything to… Continue reading

Resilience
Dear Sedinam, It’s 2023. It’s Women’s History Month. It’s 23 days until Sedinam’s 2nd birthday. I have learned so much from this baby girl. Women are resilient creatures, but this baby girl has defined that term. Sedinam, I pray that you continue to push forward and always know your worth and your strength. #From13OuncesTO17lbsAndGrowing In… Continue reading

Break My Heart…
I am sure it’s been a few weeks now, but one of my close friends reminded me of the guys who love me. They are all my brothers. They are protective and have been there to always remind me to keep pushing. Life affords us these memories to ultimately show growth. In most areas of… Continue reading

Protect Your Peace
We have gates all through our house. It’s so funny because Anthony was very busy as a toddler, but Sedi girl…. Anthony was also raised with two parents, attended daycare, and we had a circle of people that helped us with him. Sedinam is a COVID baby. I had to place many restrictions, which ultimately… Continue reading

Reputation
It seems I always have surprise calls and even mail. But one thing is, I’ve always had people to respect me. I feel like yelling “PUT some RESPECT on my name” lol!! Y’all know I’m silly!! The call came from an ex. I remember spending time with him and laughing and just being silly. We… Continue reading

Forgive You, Not Them
Last night i had a conversation via text with a soror. They shared trauma that they encountered for a few years. Her strength and ability to always live life surprised me that she encountered such. We discussed forgiveness and how such experiences could have pushed us to be angry and bitter. Despite bad circumstances, I’ve… Continue reading

Patience …
It might take days or years, but trust God will always reveal wrong. After many many months; actually since Sedi has been out of the NICU, I was able to finally get full time nurse care for Sedinam! I shared this recently. This is provided through a service called EFMP and ECHO that is provided… Continue reading

Boundaries
I’m a social introvert. As of lately, I can probably take the “social” out because God has me in a place of complete solitude. I woke up this morning, prayed, and watched Sedi sleep. I didn’t want to get Ho. If I can be honest, my cycle came on a few days ago and I… Continue reading

Attachment

HIS promises
I’ve been having a conversation over the last few days to encourage a young lady. Many young women I know are hopeful romantics. I’ll include myself in this too. We give. We forgive. We attempt to be practical. We don’t harp on mistakes but we want to hold you accountable. She woke up with a… Continue reading

Listen
The last few days have been tiresome. All that I do, I finally realized it is ok to be tired. I shared with one of those that I speak with that “you will be ok.” Almost daily for awhile I asked Anthony, “am I going to be ok?” I was unsure how I was going… Continue reading

Don’t Believe the Hype
People will only change if and when they desire. Most don’t. A little over a year ago my ex husbands new wife made a mistake and called me via Facebook messenger. I opened up the door for her to ask me any questions. I will never disrespect a woman as she thought I would because… Continue reading
About Me
I have been afforded the ability to accept the many trials, laughs, tribulations that life throws my way and embrace them as much as possible. I am a mom, a lover of life, and person that reflects too much.
