I struggled getting out the bed this morning. I had to fight myself just brush my teeth. But I did it, I got out the house today. Today marks a year that I have been living without my father. If i am being honest, I have been holding it together all year just to unravel and fall apart on this day. I knew I was taking off today. I would do nothing but see my son off to daycare, lay in bed, and wallow in my tears. But a wise man suggested not mourning my father but celebrating him instead. So that's Read more [...]
"When a baby is born so is a mother" - Unknown
Being a mother is serious business. Here I am coming from pregnancy where I slept almost 14 hours a day only to wake up and not feel I haven't went to sleep at all.

One thing we do not like to talk about as a society and understandably so is death. We are super desensitized by it, especially in this social media age. People post, re-post, tweet, and retweet videos of people dying everyday. However, we still as a whole do not like to talk about it.

The funniest thing I've seen lately on social media is the plethora of women who are asking Ciara (Harris) Wilson, american singer and songwriter, what her prayer was to God that moved Russell Wilson, NFL quarterback for Seattle Seahawks, to propose and marry her. "Give us the prayer sis" they say. But I never see anyone ask for Russell's perspective. Well that's why Milton Lawrence Jr. created Will You Marry Me. Now he is releasing Season two in Houston and you can attend the exclusive screening. Read more [...]
