*While waiting for my girls to be done, I decided to write. Realizing I had no pen and paper but only a whole 60mins of time and a fully charged phone, I decided to tell a story....*
Once upon a time, a single mom of 2 girls pondered on her life...She was divorced and successfully took care of her girls the best she could...In her past was heartache, confusion, insecurities and nightmares...while going through different struggles, she knew there was always a silver living with dreams and goals to accomplish and meet...Lil by lil, she gained her confidence back and did what she had to do...
These days, she is a phenomenal woman! She is a carer, a giver, a healer and a beautiful woman...but something is missing...Lately her insecurities are showing...her lack of confidence is appearing again and she is sad and tense sometimes for no reason....Why? As a new homeowner all on her own, 2 successful careers flourishing, a great new guy who has been by her side and 2 Lil girls that are beyond perfect, she realized that she had no inner happiness. Her inner critic was crucial and hardening...she put herself down when on the outside everyone lifted her up...
On a February morning in 2016, she decideded enough was enough...she said a prayer to God and went to the mirror and looked at herself differently before heading off to work...She looked and whispered to herself...
"Let's do something about this weight you keep complaining about".. "Let's eat right and treat this body like it's our temple" Let's clear up that acne that you frown at." "Let's smile and love every inch of this beautiful brown skin of ours." Let's be more social and not so introverted all the times." "Let's let go of grudges, inner insecurities and banish negativity." "Let's love who we wanna love and not think or consider others thoughts cause IT DOESN'T MATTER." And finally she leaned in the mirror and smiled and said, "Let's be happy...happy for the life God has given you and cherish all the glory of just being alive everyday..let me be the best version of me."
