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 ~

    Aw, look at her. Happy Birthday baby. And you should count your blessings that you didn't have to give birth to her in the "conventional" manner. Can we say "ouch"!

    Happy Birthday Gabby! Sounds like you're more than ready for the transition into a new year of life...good for you!

    Lisa, it's always wonderful to see a post from you. Know that you're missed when you're away!

    Renee, I don't know if there are too many circumstances when I would consider the pain of "conventional" childbirth better than the pain associated with major surgery, and the 6 weeks it takes to recover from it. Trust me...and Lisa on this one.

    God Bless You All!

    Wow, that was an amazing lesson from a seven year old. God uses whom ever he wants to use to get his point across. Never too young and/or never too old. She is beautiful!!

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...
