I am officially on my way! This is going to be a real roller coaster though, but I just pray that things continue to fall into place. I trust greatly that Yahweh will instill the strength and will power in me to do this. I am thankful that Yahweh has blessed me to be the kind of person that ALWAYS finishes a task, mission, an aspiration. I firmly believe that you live by example. Don't get me wrong...I do not define success by material things, monetary riches, or working in the corporate world. My life is an example to that because I don't have much of the latter. LOL. However, the constant reminder of the women in my life who have achieved miraculous endeavors WHILE raising intelligent, honorable, head-strong, and kind children- has created this drive in me. Everyday I ask myself, "how and where do they find the strength?" It is definitely hard, but in the past Yahweh put things in my path which allowed me to be mother first, yet still move towards my dreams. Being a full-time mother for 3 years, nursing my baby for 2.5yrs, volunteering time in the community was a blessing. I took the time for my child, who is strong, independent, sociable, and loving. The best thing about this is watching those who criticized my efforts, repeat the same pattern now in their lives. I hope this is my living example touching others in positive ways. Now I have come full circle and its time to start the cycle all over again. No doubt, this puddin will be different but I have no intentions on sacrificing my childrens needs. So, let the great times roll yall!
