I’ve been doing home projects thanks to Black Women who love interior designContinueContinue reading “The slow down”

Since the world has shut down
I’m finally ready to write about the Coronavirus. It’s been on my mind since things got crazy but my mind was too hectic to express my feelings through words. I’ve been going through the necessary motions and to be honest I’ve been mostly scared out of my mind. My girlfriends and I went to MardiContinueContinue reading “Since the world has shut down”
Chapter 9
Saturday my biggest boy turned NINE. The time has flown by so fast… I don’t really know how to feel about it. He’s maturing right in front of me. He counted down almost the whole month until his birthday in typical BJ fashion and he wanted to know if “everyone will know it’s his birthday”ContinueContinue reading “Chapter 9”
Things I wish I could tell you…on your birthday
I miss you. Life has moved forward so much because it had to and sometimes I feel guilty for not standing still… for forgetting the way you smelled. I used to be able to feel your presence when you walked in a room. I loved seeing you walk into a room. I wish I’d knownContinueContinue reading “Things I wish I could tell you…on your birthday”
A letter
Dear Boys, It’s been a while since I’ve written you a letter, so today (Good Friday) I thought I should. BJ…my growing, handsome, strong and resilient boy…. how I love you. You’re slowly turning into a preteen. You say the cool little phrases “you thought!” or “duh” and your little brother thinks you hang theContinueContinue reading “A letter”

They may be little…but they are so great
I went to Canada a couple of weeks ago and the trip required two layovers and quite a bit of time in the airport. Fun fact about me is I almost always get sick after I travel. This trip was no different. I arrived home on a Monday and was coughing by Tuesday afternoon. ByContinueContinue reading “They may be little…but they are so great”
2018 Year end review
There are only 4 more days left of 2018… FOUR MORE DAYS.

But not much else has changed. Don’t get me wrong… there’s been growth.ContinueContinue reading “2018 Year end review”
The Anxiety Effect
I’m going to be 100% real with you… I suffer from anxiety/depression. It’s only affected my life for the past 2 years or so. I’m amazing at masking it but found it harder and harder to do for the past couple of years. The changes were subtle. So subtle that I didn’t really realize whatContinueContinue reading “The Anxiety Effect”
My boys
We pray every night. We ask God to cover all that is special to us, we thank him for all of our blessings, and in those prayers we thank God for each other. I can’t begin to thank God enough for the blessings that are the both of you. The night before last B2, youContinueContinue reading “My boys”
