Seven Years & I've Been Blessed

~Happy Birthday Princess~

She turned 7 today, 7! She was my first c-section baby...oh how I cried. I can remember being angry, thinking to myself...I failed. She was 9lbs 3oz, I know...big baby for a little lady. Did I eat to much? I tried to figure out how she came to be so big. Then I figured it out...life happens!

Failed...I did NOT! She's my beautiful, big, trendsetter, go getter...baby girl :)

She got her first library card yesterday, she is so proud. "Mommy, I'm going to be responsible for my books and my card". I told her that I'm counting on her to keep her word because your word is sometimes all you have.

Tonight, before midnight, she said her older brother and sister told her that she's never gonna be 6 again. I asked her what does she think about that? She said, "I'm going to say a pray for me because this is the last day I'll be 6 and I want to be happy about turning 7".

Lesson Learned: Saying goodbye to yesterday and looking ahead to tomorrow can make all the difference in the world!

Let go and live life ~

Inspired To Write...

The other day a friend of mine asked me, where have you been? She then proceeded to say, it's like you fell off the face of the earth. I laughed and said, "no, I've actually fallen onto the face of the earth".

Girl, thanks for that little laugh, I appreciated the moment :)

I've fallen onto the face of the earth and bumped right into my family, friends (old and new), business partners, business meetings, social gatherings, moms meetings, and so many activities for the kids, life has been busy.

My natural journey has opened so many doors, talk about beautiful women. Sistah's who have inspired me to keep going and stay focused on the end result rather than the transitioning stage. These days I mostly wear my hair in a ponytail-bun. I don't have time to get all fancy, but when I can I'll do a two-strand twist style and use my latest product discovery, Oyin Handmade. They are very reasonable and the products smell so good. If it's one thing I've learned about going natural is that you become a product junky. It's ok though, it's all part of the journey. You have to find out what works for you. And my daughters are loving it as well, we play in our hair more now than before when I would just press their hair. Natural hair is so versatile. We are learning together. There is a movie out called 400 years without a comb, what an eye opener. We watched it as a history lesson and had a quiz at the end. If you want to find it, look it up on Youtube. It will be in separate parts but it's all there.

Gotta run...


peace n love ~

How 'bout those Obamas!!!!
