Hand written letters

My Life: Big Picture 📸 Perspective:

I was a good wife until I realized the emotional abuse from my ex husband was driving me to be a woman I wasn’t proud of.

Everything was of excess. Lots of overspending, vacation after vacation, alcoholism rampant in both family circles and friend circles. God was not in my marriage. 

Before my dad died on June 4 of 2018, my dad told me to get out of my unhealthy marriage and get a divorce in May 2017. I did not listen and after he died so did his legacy of a wholesome and disciplined way of living died with him. 

The letter above I wrote to God regarding the catastrophic state of my marriage I keep behind a framed photograph of my father to remind me what I walked away from and what I will not tolerate in myself or others.

The unhealthy lifestyle of excess, unhealthy worldly attachments, and alcoholism is something I reject and pray my children and future bloodline will never see in their own lives.

Anytime my ex husband felt I was getting emotionally stronger he would make a dramatic display of leaving me and the kids. He would yell, take down framed photos of us, and basically have an adult tantrum and create chaos until he got his way. My ex husband left me for the 4th time on October 2021 and he thought I would take him back and beg him to come back home. I got stronger by God’s grace and super tired of the drama and in June 2022 I filed for divorce, never looked back, and rebuilt my life by putting God first. 

Three years later on my dad’s birthday, June 25, 2025, I closed on my first home that is not a business property for me and my kids. It was a decision I made for myself and no family member was supportive or even happy for me because they had their own plans in what they wanted for my life. 

So I walked away from all of that drama too because I saw what I wanted for my myself would never be respected because I was not respected.

I will NEVER walk with chaos, dysfunction, or addiction. Buh-bye 👋

Rough drafts

Strong leaders have the ability to lead others because of their inherent capacity to command the best parts of themselves and subdue the fallible human parts.

This self governance is the bedrock of those who truly come to serve others while simultaneously avoiding over giving or neglecting their own needs.

In this season of Lent, I encourage you to examine your many purposes in life.

In so doing, you will be more intimately connected to the human you are responsible to love and tend to ==> yourself :-)

I wish to share my life purposes with you today so you can create your very own list.

Today, I fine tuned this post from a rough draft I created below. The process of writing is like life. If we approach life intentionally and self edit as necessary, the byproduct is growth. 

Know that I am praying for all of our growth. Upwards, in good health, in mind, body, and spirit.

Ebullience

Ebullience happens when joy 🤩 reaches the top and spills over. This is how I feel about November 💕 Hope it is a blessed one for you and everyone you love 💝🕊️🌷🥰

Sharing my light 🌞🕊️🙏🏽🌏

It is Mabuhay Monday my friends 💓May you shine as brightly as the sun 🌞 today and every day ✨🕊️🙏🏽🌏🥰

It’s glitter season ✨🌟💫✨

The month of October has been explained to me as “glitter season” because it’s the transitional time before the holidays and we should, if you like a little shimmer here or there, put it on, and have fun 🤩 with it❣️

For me that’s spending a little more time on self care 🧖‍♀️ like make up and pretty looking nails 💅 etc

O.P.I. pale luminescent pink + Sally Hansen’s glitter ✨ Insta-Dri is always a fall 🍂 fave of mine.

And glitter is very forgiving aesthetically and doesn’t have to be perfect like an opaque color nail polish 💅. When it chips it’s over lol 😆

HaPpy 😊 Fall season everyone 🍂🧡🍁🍂

Gratitude

Gratitude 🙏🏽 for everything goes a long way.

I have been making a concerted effort to positively co-parent and work collaboratively with my kid’s father and ever since I made this decision, magical things have been happening in our lives:

1) Gavin is initiating tough conversations with me and Gigi. He is very intelligent, not a fan of talking incessantly like his mom and sister, but when it’s time for him to express himself, he does so naturally, confidently, and freely shares what is on his mind.

2) Gigi is doing things outside of her comfort zone. Yesterday she initiated procuring an eye exam to get new glasses and get her computer fixed. We both crashed out, multiple times, and she made me dinner even if she was super tired. What she made for me was so delicious, I took pics to remind myself I want to recreate it.

3) Gerald willingly helps us do things around our new house I do not understand nor am I interested in understanding because of his deep love for his children. Gavin just calls him and things get done. Like our air conditioning works now, our washing machine doesn’t leak anymore and works too, and he even lets me use half of his driveway so the Benz has a home 🏡 because I don’t have the parking skills to house two vehicles in my garage.

God is good, always 🙏🏽. This 1st 🥇 of the month I want to focus on gratitude. For all the small things, big things, and everything in between 💙

Liars never 👎 prosper

To make a long story short, the security guard ending up being cool. Good thing I cooled off and treated him with respect.

The scared old man who made false allegations and told the security guard my dog “attacked” him was clearly lying and I straight up called him a liar to his face and punked his ass. I’m sure he ate his balls when I did that.

He promptly closed his garage on me as I flipped him off multiple times in front of the police, after they reviewed video footage of his lying ass. I told him he needs to fix his brain 🧠 because his weak, fearful mind, attacked his ass and not my dog.

Lesson here. Watch out for people like me, who try 🙏🏽 our best to do right, mind our own business, but when it is time, with God’s hand, is blessed with a lion’s strength 🦁 to call out LIARS every single time, to their face. I’ve done this countless of times in my life and they all have the same reaction: recoil in shame and anger for being caught.

Best to keep on the straight and narrow path and pray 🙏🏽 for guidance and strength because God will provide.

Adios m/f 🖕
