Hello.
The quote in the image above gives me hope.
You see, I've been busy trying to teach discipline while it is quite obvious by my randomly updated blog that I need help in the area. Good thing is I finally got a new laptop. Unfortunate update, I've had it for almost a month already and not even attempted writing again until tonight.
Issue one is now obvious; I have an issue with Kesha Georgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11153297966616767257noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831715023574091176.post-83818360766515532382015-01-02T12:08:00.000-04:002015-01-02T12:13:03.208-04:00Trying Again in 2015Its a new year, literally the second day of 2015, and I am finally making the time to write. Again. After my daughter was born, my family battled chickungunya, my laptop screen lost its visibility and I noticed myself losing the motivation, I stopped writing. My thoughts were that I am not really good at it so why do it.
But, here I am. Again.
I am going to try. Again.

This is just a quick note to let whoever may happen upon this blog that no, I did not die. my darling boys were messing around my laptop and broke the LED Screen, viruses and different sickness had visited my family and I have honestly be a bit discouraged and unmotivated to blog.

Two weeks ago I was gifted with this little girl...who pushed out of me hard to breathe the breath of life that is God given.

Writing by a writer is usually genius.
Writing by one who wants to write, hopes to write well and looks forward to writing all that is in her is, well, not so genius. But that does not mean that I have given up. There are closet comedians, and I am a closet writer.

I apologize for the little stint off without notice - combining the final week of of employment before maternity leave, packing to travel, and cleaning out and reassessing certain possessions then settling in another country for about a quarter of a year leaves you a tad swamped.
But I have been engaged in mother-hood throughout so let me update you all on the latest on Caribbean Mommy-hood.

The battle is real though - choosing life over death in my thought process. My pain is real. My frustrations are real. But. I do NOT have to dwell on them. I chose to. Now I am choosing NOT to.

Like I said the last time, "Don't judge, pray." I'm about to share the next five (5) fails I have been guilty of in this journey of mommy-hood so far.
Mommy-hood fail #6 - Do as I say, not as I do

GARDEN
Start -
I have a garden...not one of flowers, plants or trees as yet. I need my own home and space for that. But the garden I have is in the form of my family. Green thumbs...I don't have. But I try mighty hard to water them with love, expose them to Son-shine and fertilize with grace and mercy.

Lord, I have a tendency to over share (I think) but am going to share ten (10) fails of my time as a mommy. There are more than 10 if you ask my children, and I am sure I will continue to add to the number but as a friend used to say - "Don't judge, pray".

Its so good to be able to say hello to you all and to be at home. :) Get this, I was hospitalized for two days and injected with four doses of steroid for developing the lung function of my baby in case she comes early.
