It's been the busiest 2 weeks:
🙏🏾 Transitioning to a new job opportunity
🙏🏾 Reminding them of my involvement on an elementary PTO Board and driving across town amidst training to show up to every Turkey activity at my daughter's school in the past 2 weeks- because she will always be the most important client of mine and I will fight for what is most valuable to her
🙏🏾 Being surprised with her fever everyday this week in the wee hours of the morning, rocking her until it was practically time to get dressed each day.
🙏🏾 I couldn't host this year as I intended. And as much as I am about - it was my Mom who read between the lines for me. Carla why don't you let us host?
: THANK YOU!!!
is not easy. But no other Leadership position in my life calls for as much creativity, dedication, determination, love, humility, forgiveness, support... GROWTH.

I'm not going to post pics of the contributions and service I gave to different organizations this year. As you all know, service is always in season and repurposes us! Thankful for the opportunity to be a blessing, always❣️🙏🏾
I also want to give a Shout Out to All The Moms who give endless service to their families and communities all year long!
May you also sit down, take some time off your feet, take a true break and a social media one too! Text/call/reach out to others WHEN AND IF IT IS THE BEST TIMING FOR YOU!! We don't have to show up the exact same every single time because we're not in the same periods of our lives every single time!
We can't allow the to force us to meet the demands, pressures, expectations of everyone for the sake of "tradition", showing face, and making other loved 1s look good.
is not about yourself. As my daughter asked me to just lay with her for an extra few hours this morning... and I ignored the feeling that I've got to clean, decorate and more... I was THANKFUL for the and that she gave me. Smiling and laying next to each other, her spirit just told me that I am , have done enough. Whatever I can give is more than enough for her.
Her little hand brushed my face, she kissed me, smiled at me endearingly and said "I love you Mama"... How do these little things have so much ?!? Without a Christmas tree up, no turkey making or pie baking together... laying in bed side by side for hours, reading books and listening to music.
It was all she wanted- especially after another restless night being up late together. It's also what I truly needed!
Taking the rest of the week off of my platforms❣️💃🏾
I'm going to today. today. for those who are hurting today. 💯
And get some tonight.🙏🏾🥰
Happy Happy Gratitude Season and !!! 🎊
