66 of my readers indicated that they were inspired to begin celebrating their Mom on their birthday! 66! 33×2! Come on Jesus!
The fruits of my labor.
I’m deeply honored.
God did.
To my life source – 33 is considered a master number that represents compassion, blessings, inspiration, honesty, discipline, bravery, and courage. It also symbolizes guidance and the importance of helping others and fostering unity.
That is the perfect embodiment of what you’ve been to me for the entire 33 years of my life.
You told me I could survive and continue living without my late husband and be successful on my own. Never forgetting the mark he left but becoming my own woman.
You told me out of love that last little relationship wasn’t going to work because you can’t love people into their potential, they have to want it for themselves. You told me when someone shows you who they are believe them and don’t try to gaslight myself into believing differently. His loss.
You told me you admired my calling to serve other people but, to not set myself on fire to keep other people warm. You gave me your strength, many times when you had none for yourself.
You taught me the true meaning of “it is what it is.” You taught me the true meaning of “cry, then boss up.” You taught me that this world doesn’t owe me anything, but I owe myself everything.
You made me want to live again. You’ve given me life not once but many times over.
For always summoning your strength to support me through my most fragile and chaotic moments.
Thank you for holding my hand as I save and heal myself. Thank you for being my source of strength as I rebuild the essence of my very being, in which you created.
I am nothing without your love, compassion, and encouragement. I love you more than anything.
Every chapter will always be dedicated to you. For as long as I live.
2022: I had cut all my hair off while in a rebound relationship after my husband’s death in 2020. I was mentally unstable, broken, and running from grief.
2024: My hair has grown back healthier than ever, and I have found contentment as a widow. I am mentally stable, at peace, and genuinely working through my bereavement.
Every chapter will always be dedicated to you. For as long as I live.
Every chapter will always be dedicated to you. For as long as I live.
Chapter 54.
54 years of pure beauty. 54 years of strength. 54 years of courage. 54 years of growth. 54 years of grace.
For a world that wasn’t always the kindest to you, you have given so much kindness back to it.
May your 54th chapter be magical! Overflowing with peace, love, and all the blessings this world has to offer. You deserve all things magical because you are magic itself.
The greatest privilege and honor of my life is being able to have shared 32 (and counting) of these years with you. The greatest privilege and honor of my life is being your daughter.
With everything in me, I thank God for your love, strength, and encouragement.
Thank you for existing. 👑♥️💐
My Momma helped me remove that chip off my shoulder and told me that nobody can save me, but me. Nobody can heal me, but me.
Thank you for holding my hand as I save and heal myself. Thank you for being my source of strength as I rebuild the essence of my very being.
I am nothing without your love, compassion, and encouragement. I love you more than anything. ♥️
You deserve all things magical.
Kits filled with comfort items for survivors of domestic abuse / violence residing in a women’s shelter.
Growing up, I was subjected to domestic violence and watched my mother fall victim to it for many years. She, however, didn’t stay a victim. She emerged as a survivor, and so did I.
Both my mother and I are survivors of domestic abuse. Out of respect and privacy for her story and mine, I’ll withhold any further details.
I would like to introduce, in honor of my Mother Sonia, my Survivor Care Kits! 💜 Survivor Care Kits are kits filled with comfort items for survivors of domestic abuse / violence residing in a women’s shelter.
I’ve chosen the Detroit Police Victim’s Assistance Program as my first location. Oftentimes, women’s domestic absuse shelters are secret locations so that the victims are protected and kept safe. I’m confident that the Detroit Police Department will get these kits to where they are most needed.
Lean in and contribute here! 🎀
