You don’t need to agree.

I’m more than just a mother. More than just a wife. More than just a teacher. I am just as human as anyone else with more or less obligations than me. I am JUST as tired. See me. You don’t need to understand. You just have to be empathetic enough to know every single one of us is human, just like you.

Owning Motherhood

I’m a mother but I’m still Michelle

I am a Mother. I also am, Michelle. How great is that? As my children grow older, I begin to realize that I don’t have to JUST be a mother. I can also be me. I, myself, am an amazing person. Truly, I worked hard to get to where I am. My motivation and ambition is like no other. Back in 2015, I gain a new addition to my personality and it was to become a mother. Not only was I motivated and ambitious but then I also got the trait of a mother. Loving, kind, caring. It was a great addition to my personality. Don’t forget, I am a TOTAL MOTHER but I’m also Michelle.

...so I dance.

Granted, I do have my moment where I scream and I locked the door but often times I’m alone and I can’t always run to that option. It’s something that you can do but you also don’t want to always make it an option because it’s going to become a habit and that’s not a kind of habit that you want to do. You shouldn’t be susceptible to running from the problem, you want to confront it in the best way possible.
It’s so important to realize that these are normal feelings and it’s going to happen a lot because not only are we still raising ourselves but we’re raising another human being. And yes they are going to learn from us but they still have their own personality.

My past

. . does not tell you who I am. So Here’s to a new chapter, where hope is seen, success is achieved and allowing the failures to only raise a powerful woman that I, myself, AM.

I suggest you do the same. Click.

what water is to humans.

This is my lady, my queen, the person I pick up the phone looking like 🙄 and to end the call like 🥺.

I can’t share her, but I have to. It’s for the best, two queens can’t rule a throne. We all know that.

P.S. she said it, not me!!!

Mama I made it

I remain motivated. I strive for better. Always. Catch me doing big things.

Come to the healthy hair side!

“I am not interested in money. I just want to be wonderful.”

The process- first trial of Bantu Knots

3 years ago I completely removed relaxers from my hair routine. 😁 it was such a scary routine to let go. I’m white skinned with mixed hair. I FREAKED OUT. About 2 years ago I completely removed all chemicals from my routine. Throughout this time I was still straightening my hair, I’m still fearful. 2 weeks ago, I cut off all heat due to the extreme heat damage that I have caused. This is REALLY hard. As I go on, I need to learn more about my hair and AVOID heat. Be patient. If you have ideas, send them over!

I’ve been researching what could possibly be my hair type. As of right now, we’re looking at 3C curls. Hang in there guys.

I’ve been away —

I’ve been doing what I love. I’ve been anxious, stressed, worried, confused, finding the right answers.

I enjoy blogging, but in a clear mind state. Which I haven’t been. I want this to be my subtle area. Not my venting area.

BY DANI SHERMAN-LAZAR

It’ll be the dose of reality and it’ll change you forever —

From the day you receive the positive, you move differently, you begin to create a new future. You begin to realize you need to set up your world for a human being that you’ve never even met but is your most precious joy. The mystery as simple as, how tall will they be? What are they going to enjoy, begins to imprint in your mind. The days seem long but the weeks fly by. You’re amazed at the creation that’s inside of you. The flutters are kicks, did you know that? The same flutters you felt with a crush are now the flutters of the love of your life and you won’t ever forget it. You’ll forget the pain and sickness because the overwhelming presence of life will erase the unfavorable part of pregnancy.

I’ve been promoted —

How do I even explain it? I’m overwhelmed with joy. I’m proud, I am amazed at the human body; a woman’s body. I thought to myself, “she’s a muse, she is powerful, she is all around a fierce human being.” What was endured was the all mighty but the all sacred tradition of birth. But Then..there came what we call.... LIFE. I am proud. I am amazed. I am grateful to be an aunt.

Our unexpected stop —

After having to skip the gallery because of a 3-1/2 hour wait time, we continued our walk to find other galleries. We came across this unique furniture store with the most delicate and antique, I mean ANTIQUE, pieces. We walked to the back and entered this magical room!

The mystery day revealed

My cousin surprised me with an awesome day in NYC as a graduation gift! It was awesome; so ENJOY!

Social Media

Im happy for all of you but . . .

I’m tired of social media. It’s not because you have something I don’t or because I waste too much time on it. Or even the fact that I don’t want you to see “my life” or “my kids” It’s nothing like that.

Everyone is just getting older and busy with their lives so if we’re not all too busy, the moments we interact on social media seem to be moments of “annoyance”. People constantly having an issue with the way irrelevant people live their lives. That’s okay for some, but it hits me differently.

But I won’t be too far away. I enjoy writing, so I’ll blog, maybe vlog. As many of you, I have other things to attend to, so here I go. ✌🏼

I’m achieving goals but when do I stop?

Sometimes we’re tagged with an unknown, unsaid, undeclared, goal to achieve or expectation to be met that when you’ve achieved it, you’re left at a standstill. What’s next? That’s it? I just get to be content and happy? We’re taught to fight for our goals but what if you’ve reached what you want, how do you keep it leveled? I’m a mother, I am a graduate, I am a wife and a home owner. I work at my dream job. I have an amazing support team. My circle is small and that’s my life. I’m content, but do I just stop here? Who knows, I guess only I do, cause honey, it’s my life.
