About Me

My photo
Mother of 2, Child of God in DMV "They always ask me if I make it am I going to forget about them, but the question is, if I don't make it will they forget about me?" My spin : RealTalk When u are up everyone wants to hang on, but look for the ones that let you lean on when you are down. Remember...don't just look for me when I am up, support me when I'm down. ♥ In prosperity, your friends know you, in adversity, you know your friends. I asked God for strength, I got adversity. I asked God for wisdom, I was made a fool of. I asked for patience, I had a difficult relationship. I looked back, He gave me what I asked for. Adversity showed me I was stronger than I thought; being a fool opened my eyes to discernment making me wise; the difficult relationship showed me that patience is earned not given. Blessings come in many forms, not all of them recognizable.

Wind Down Wednesday

Good evening, Bloggers.

It's been a dizzying few weeks.  Work demands and trying to get ready for vacation.  Plus it is now my birthday month.  Yay for May!!!!  So I am going to try to be in here at least once a week to recap the countdown to 49.   I am really excited.

Throwback Thursday

Good morning, Bloggers...

The Next Generation

There are officially no children 👶 in our family. The last of the next generation, my niece, graduated last night. *sigh*  It is bittersweet. Remember in my Father's Day post I said kids don't come with manuals? They don't, but my sister did a great job. She has always been a hands on parent. Even when she had health challenges of her own, she showed up for them.

Monday Musings

Monday's used to bug me.  I used to hate getting up and dragging back into the office.  Then a few things happened. I realized if I changed my outlook I could change my attitude. I began to focus on what I liked about my office.  That made me look forward to going.

Father's Day

One thing losing my mom has taught me was to embrace the people in your life while they are here.  I used to be angry with my parents for not being more like the TV 📺 parents. You know like in a Brady-bunch-Cosby sort of way.  At least until I became a parent. Most things you get come with a manual that tells you what to do. Not kids. There is no class on how to be an awesome parent. It's trial by fire 🔥.  I would always say "I'm never going to do this when I am a mom" or "I'm going to always do that when I'm a mom." It did NOT work out that way.

The Paper

It's just a piece of paper. 📝It really doesn't mean much but it means everything.  There have been 3 years of cat and mouse. Three years of random text messages, sporadic emails and silence. More silence than anything.  When you move, I move like a chess match. Each move strategically played.

No one wants to be first. Someone has to be first. The unspoken conversation that hung in the air like a thick fog...dense...hard to wade through....because no one wants to go first.

Is this thing on...

Well...I don't have an excuse.  I just haven't been inspired.  I am still around.   Still loving my job....and as much as I LOVE the DMV....umm this cost of living is a beast.  So umm yeah...I am keeping my job but relocating back to ATL...working remotely from Atlanta, flying back to DC once a quarter.  Sigh.  I am happy...because I have missed Atlanta.

Hi, Bloggers.


I haven't really been blogging....not for lack of trying...so many unfinished drafts.

Values

What do you value?  I heard this question posed in a movie and it made me think, what do I value?

The object invoked has disconnected

I just need to get away from my thoughts.  Some days I think I am ok, then I get a reminder that I am mentally fragile.

Empathy...I get it now

One of the most fascinating blogs I have found is written by a Grady Doctor in Atlanta.
