Day 2889- 7 year, 10 months, and 29 days! New Years’ Eve!! Thankful!

Happy New Year! Between the global pandemic and navigating life in this new space, hallelujah we have survived! This has been the most crazy eventful year of my life. So many moving parts of a thousand elements. Thank you Father for your continued mercy and grace. For every text, hug, tear wiped, laugh, words of reassurance, and prayer, I thank you. I always want to be so blunt on social media, then I stop myself. However, those who know me know exactly what this year has been like for me. Today my Bestie said, "You need to write a book because this stuff only happens to you. Yes, it looked as if I hit the ground running but no one sees that swamp that I emerged from. More days than not were bleak. I am thankful.

I have learned two very important things this year. Ask all the needed questions early on and a boundary or red flag is just that. In no form or fashion, should you dim your light to allow others to shine brighter. I have always been lax when it comes to boundaries because hey, I acknowledge them and move forward. However, people do lie to kick it. So they conceal their authentic self and send a representative that they too are unable to keep up with as well. When the true self is unveiled, a kerfuffle erupts. I am thankful.

I Thank God for keeping me and reminding me of life's blessings. This year will be the best year of my life. Hands down! I will come first in all endeavors. Anything that does not serve me well, will be removed from my life expeditiously and unapologetically. Thank you Father. I am forever thankful.

Day 2885- 7 years, 10 months, and 25 days!

Wow. The year has come to a close. Its been a long colorful event filled year. Thank you Father for bringing my family and I safely to the end. As a child, I envisioned being an adult and having "checked' all the boxes would free you from a life of hurt, pain, and disappointment. That is far from the truth. However, it does mean that you are equipped with resilience, fortitude, and faith to pull you through those dark days. Thank you Father and to my Framily that stood by my side. xoxo
