My First Love & My Sanctuary

By -


Anthony Hamilton's song is playing in the background (my first love) and the mood is set. I'm on the phone with my mom (well my mother-in-law, I call her my mom). She just spoke at a women's conference with over 1oo women. She tell's me she just spoke from her heart. Many of them came to her after it was over with tears in their eyes because they were touched by what she shared and how it helped her.

My mom has been such an inspiration to me. From my mothering, to my homeschooling, to my marraige, to my friendships, to my relationship with her. I never thought much about my relationship with my mother-in-law before I got married all I remember are some of the horror stories I was told. Things that I had to let go of. Well, I thank God for my mother-in-law, she's been there for me. We have a very close relationship. It's open, honest, and loving. I'm able to share without being judged. I can be me.

Now, for my Sanctuary....my place to get away in my thoughts. My mind just goes and my fingers follow. I'm free, with a few interuptions (my house being full all the time it's hard not too). This is my place. After feeling like I don't have anything for myself, I have this......my blog!


Happy, Happy Birthday to my 4 year old sweetie!!! It's Gabrielle's birthday today!!!

My Monday Morning Started At 11:00PM...Last Night!

We had to take little j. to the Doctor this morning because last night he didn't sleep good and neither did we. He kept crying and crying and wouldn't stop. We were completely thrown because he had such a good day. Could it be: 1. He's teething and it's bothering him? Yes, but a little baby Orajel and infants Tylenol should have done the trick. It didn't. 2. I ate something that didn't agree with him? Of course we couldn't come up with anything. 3. He was just so tired from everything we did yesterday and it was hard for him to fall asleep? Maybe. 4. He got bit by a bug and we didn't know? We checked all over, no bites. We even checked to see if there was a piece of hair wrapped around his little fingers and toes. None! 5. Because he's teething he could have an ear infection? Yes very possible but he didn't show the usual signs: fever, pulling at his ears (that looked like it was out of the norm for him because it's something he does often...

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...
