| Me & My Famous Selfie Mirror 💜 |
Here I am. 37. And a half. Beats to my own drum. Been referred to as 'quirky, intense, and stubborn.' Female. Divorced. Mama of two that I do raise myself. First kid in the immediate family to graduate from a university, yet I am also the baby. Homeowner. Teacher of middle schoolers. Former fat girl on the outside. I'm not sure if I have completely beat that on the inside yet. Deep thinker. A lover of the real and a hater of the fake. I still like to hit the spacebar twice between typing sentences and I think it looks weird with only one space. Direct. Coffee addict. Artificial sweetener user. Southerner. Raised in your classic back row Baptist fashion. Summer is my favorite season. Tito's & cranberry is my go-to draaaank. Family means more to me than I can begin to express. My favorite word is, 'consistency.' As of late, I have realized that I am also, TRULY, SOOOOOOOO BLESSED. I am far more blessed than I deserve, and to hopefully begin to show my appreciation to the Good and Holy Lord, I am starting this blog as a way to go even deeper into myself and strengthen my relationship with my Creator through my written expression which can only come from the heart. Don't get me wrong; anyone can type a few sentences. But what I am talking about here is that this blog is going to get down and dirty into the very depths of my soul. I tried doing a VLOG on YouTube but I will get to why that didn't work for me personally at this time in my life, later.
I started a self-exploration project on January 1st of this year because I am 37. And a half. On top of my age, life's experiences have shaped me in a way that makes me realize now's the time to stop, reflect, and change. You see, other folks might like to say such experiences are exactly the reason they did not achieve or did not succeed and I feel it's crucial to who I know I want to be from this very moment forward, that I assess myself (not judge, but simply admit, process, reflect, and apply) and make needed changes.
My two children are now 10 and 15 years old. We have experienced adverse moments, as individuals and as a family. We are on a new playing field and we must take advantage of 2019. This year, we are slowing our proverbial rolls and prioritizing. I feel as if it is my mission in 2019 to teach my children through example how to forge ahead despite adversity, and especially because of adversity, in faith and positivity.

What was all this so-called change? Why did I feel like I needed to do this NOW? All this, and much more to come, so stay tuned, y'all!
