Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!
New Years Eve is rapidly approaching. During my commute to and from work, I began to reflect on things that have occurred this year. I though about the decisions I made and did not make, life events, my relationships (children, family, friendships, significant other), my health, accomplishments, unaccomplished goals and my job. I also thought about what I loved as well as what  hated about this year.

As I look back on 2015, I realize it was a roller-coaster. I went through a lot emotionally, mentally, spiritually, during the first nine months of 2015. Now that in think about it, it was as if I was pregnant. GOD was preparing me for the rebirth of myself. After giving birth, you are thrilled to see who has been growing and moving inside you, who has been keeping you up at night, who has been poking and probing you, basically who has been invading your space. Once you give birth you look forward to nurturing and molding that child into what God has called him or her to become.

Well that is my story for 2015. I love the fact tat I was "pregnant" for months. Throughout these months, I felt every every emotion one could possibly feel. I experienced good times as well as bad ties. I was surrounded by conflict and chaos daily. I did not know what was going on. I felt attacked. Through it all, I continued to pray and I began to attend church regularly. There was a battle going on inside of my body. I became anxious and emotional. During these nine months, I knew who had been poking and probing every fiber of my being. I knew why my space was no longer peaceful, but filled with tension, anger and accusations as well as other things. As a result of this, disgust, bitterness, anger, dislike, irritation, annoyance, confusion, exhaustion and more were growing inside of me. 

No matter how hard I tried nothing I did could shake or break these feelings. I continued to pray. I barely spoke to anyone at home. I began to shut down. Then one night in the shower, I had along conversation with God. I questioned him and I cried while speaking to him. That night I gave everything to God and I knew I was going to be okay. I prayed and asked God for guidance, I prayed and asked God to remove anything that was not supposed to be in my life. I asked God why things were going wrong in my life when I was trying my best to do right by everybody. Why were things always happening. Be careful what you ask for because you just might get it. And I did, but it was not on my time. When you ask God questions or to show you something He will do so, but on his time. You have to be willing to accept how he shows you things. It is not always peaches and cream. You may have to go through some things to get the results you want. I acknowledge my mistakes and I have will continue to grow from them. I am learning to trust my gut, my intuition as it is usually right.

After thinking about all that I have mentioned, I asked myself would I have done anything differently? If so, what? If not, why? I have come to the conclusion that I would not have done anything differently. The decisions I made where best for me and my girls and I will not apologize for making those decisions. I have thought about where I have been, where I am now and where I want to go.

Looking back on 2015, 

  • What did you love/hate about 2015? 
  • What would you do differently? 
  • What do you wish you had done that you did not accomplish?

Happy Birthday To Me

By
Thirty-seven years ago today, I blessed the world with my presence. I do not make a fuss of my birthday because I do the same thing every year. NOTHING! I do not plan anything because it is around the time school begins. My daughter's birthday is also a few days later. Those events are far more important. So as a result, I do not do anything . Now that I think about it, in all of my years on this earth I have never had a birthday celebration that consisted of my friends and my family. I have had  intimate gatherings. Each one I had consisted of my immediate family only. This is also because I don't consider everyone I know or associate with my friend. .  After doing a lot of reflecting, I noticed that I have never celebrated anything that I have accomplished in my adult life. So, I have decided that I will create my very own holiday where I celebrate me and all that I have accomplished in my life thus far. So, I wish myself a Happy Birthday to me. God bless me...

Happy 10th Birthday Nyasia

By
It was a cold February day. I recall being at work and talking to my friend/coworker "Medina". I told her that my menstrual cycle was late and I needed to go to Duane Reade during lunch. That day I took a total of four pregnancy test. I needed to make sure because of a previous experience I had with her sister Tereya. When I was pregnant with Tereya, I  also took three test. The results were not accurate. One was positive, two were negative and finally a positive blood test. There is no need for me to elaborate, we all know how the story ended. Lol! September 8th, is a very special day. God blessed me with my second daughter one decade ago today. I remember that night as if it were yesterday. If it were up to the ER physician, Nyasia would have been born in the elevator or the sidewalk. My Ob/Gyn was performing a c-section and he barely made it in time to deliver my baby. Dr. Kuno handed me this little tiny baby with the big beautiful eyes. She was born at 12:56am...

My Browngirl Is Graduating From College Today

By
Screaming Congratulations!!! Today is Tereya's big day. She is graduating from Brooklyn College. Tereya has accomplished so much. I am so proud of her and the young lady she has become. She did not have the opportunity to take her graduation pictures, nor did she have a traditional graduation ceremony today.  We were not able to schedule hair, nail and make up appointments. My plan is to have her do these things as well have her photos taken to commerate this accomplishment. The pandemic came in wreaking havoc on our lives. She had to complete her final semester of college remotely. It was a challenge, but she did not let that or Corona deter her. She held onto the goal and trusted the process. It was not easy, but it was worth it. Guess what Tinkerbell, YOU did it.  You have set the path for your only sister. You may get on each others nerves, but she looks up to you. Tereya you have fought through some bad days to earn the best days of you...
