Looking for a scrupulous way of unfriending someone on a social media site? Well I may just have your solution...

I regret that I must unfriend you but I can no longer stomach your posts which are heavily saturated in untruths about who you are and what you're doing or have done. I refuse to sit back and quietly watch as people who are oblivious to these shenanigans, fall prey to your lies and become entangled in your web of deceit. Bejoe <3

Can I get a do Over?

"Boy there are things that I really wish I could "do over" or time I'd like to get back". If you sit long enough thinking that and reminiscing about what you had, you can actually get physically sick! And AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT!! You are where you are because it's where you've placed yourself. Sometimes still, I look at what my friends have and what they've accomplished and I get urgh because I don't. But then those same friends, the REAL ONES that is, don't make me feel less than, they treat me just the very same. I'm not less than but = to and that feels totally AWESOME!! I can't get my teenage years back, they're long gone! My twenties aren't coming back either. But here I am thriving in my 30's, doing things that I had once began to give up hope on!! I don't have to wish on a star neither do I need a "do over". I'm where I should be <3

Working Mommy's Plight

Today I thought I would have been a little sad because I'm missing out on my 5 year old twins Mother's Day celebrations and I'm used to ALWAYS at events!! I'm so blessed to have Rhulaunda E. Donald as a friend, sistergirl, mother of my godson and teacher to one of the twins, she called me and put me on speaker phone so that I could "be" at their celebrations today!!! Thank you Rhu, that meant a lot to me. It's teachers like you, Courtney Santos, Courtney Hodges, Lyndsey Keith and more that go out of your way to make great things happen for our children!! <3 you all!

Beyond Blessed and Thankful

God is always showing Himself to me even in the midst of the chaos. Right now tears were streaming down my face as I sat at my desk, not from sadness or sorrow, but out of pure joy and thankfulness. If ya'll remember I was deathly ill last June, had no health insurance and I accrued thousands of dollars worth of medical bills! Well the hospital called me to let me know that my once over $5,000 balance is now 0! The weight and pressure lifted as the counselor talked to me all I could do was cry as she told me. So even when you think He doesn't hear you because things are not going as you think they should, just know that He WILL work it out for you!!! ..Feeling so blessed right now

I gotsa J-O-B!!

After graduating, I was working as an temporary employee of the college I graduated from, the beautiful, the prestigious College of Charleston ;-)within a couple of months and after filling out countless job applications,going on a few interviews, I began to feel a little discouraged. Finally in December, I got a call back that sounded truly promising!!! It was from the College of Charleston, I was asked if I was still interested in the position. Lord knows I tried not to sound too overjoyed or excited (all the while I was jumping up inside, cheesing from ear to ear and feeling so humbled). I had to work at my other part time job right before I had my interview. So I had a mad dash to change out of that uniform into something MUCH nicer. And wouldn't you know on the way to my interview, a sista got a visit from "Aunt Flo" O_o I didn't let that deter me, did what I had to and kept it moving!! The interview was no longer than about 15 minutes, I was so confident and thrilled! I had a knowing that the position was mine. A couple days later, I received the offer!!! A sista girl was crying and praising the Lord honeTy...and you know I ACCEPTED!! January 7th of 2013, I began my new position as the Administrative Specialist II in one of the BEST departments on campus!!!

April 21st 1998...The day that changed my life for the better....

April 21st 15 years ago my life changed for the better. Sure I was an 18 year old college freshman...so of course my life was suppose to be FA BO LO US <---yeah I know that isn't the way to spell it but I just felt like reliving rapper Fabolous' continuous and annoying spelling of his name in every rap song he sung back in my day (or as my kids would say, "back in the olden days") My life had become fabulous not because I had met some incredible dude, not because I some over achieving student, but it had become fabulous because I'd become a mom at 5:52 p.m. on a Tuesday evening! Christopher 2nd name 3rd name last name (I can't divulge my baby's whole name up here ;-) had come into this world and made me a better person, but more so he provided me with the title of Mom. The circumstances in which he came to be and who the "donor" of the sperm was, no longer mattered to me, because he was beautiful, perfect, precious...PRICELESS. I would become mama and daddy, since "daddy" wasn't man enough to step up (sad to say some 15 years later he still isn't, but I digress... To my boy, I say that you were fearfully and wonderfully made and there is no one like you and I love that! You're intelligent, funny, brave, lovable, an awesome big brother, son, grandson, great grandson, nephew, student, friend, young man, athlete and so much more...

I'S BAAACCCK

So....let's see here. I've been pretty slack with this blog of mine. :-( A lot has happened in this past few months, both good and bad...all dealing with issues with my family life, hair, new job <--- whoot whoot But I'm back now and I'm promising not to leave you hanging....AGAIN!!!
