The Many Reasons Why I Am Thankful
I AM THANKFUL FOR MY CHILDREN My children are the reasons why my life is worth living. They give me the strength that I need to push forward and make it through the day. I am thankful for the many kisses and hugs that they give and the many times that they tell me they love me. My children are my everything and if it weren't for them, I don't know where I would be. I am thankful that I've been blessed to be the mom of such wonderful children.

Depression
For years, I've been dealing with this invisible illness. I kept it to myself because I didn't want to be judged. I don't think anyone would've believed me. Where I'm from, if people can't tell you're hurt by looking at you, your problem doesn't exist. I even hid it from my doctor. What's even more crazy, I've kept it hidden from the man I've been with almost half of my life and I'm 38 years old.

Open Letter To My Bestie
Dear Bestie, I am so thankful that you came into my life. Before I met you, I didn't think that good people still existed in this world. I've been mistreated and stabbed in the back by so many so called friends, I lost count. You showed me that I shouldn't judge someone before I get to know them. I still remember the first day we met.

YOU'RE NOT ALWAYS RIGHT
I find it hilarious how so many women think it's okay for a woman to confide in or sleep with another man because she's not getting the love, time and attention she feels she should be getting at home. She feels if her man was doing as he should, it would leave no room for her to cheat. Oh but when her man cheats, it's because he doesn't love her. She feels betrayed because she feels that she's the perfect woman and gives him everything he needs at home. You may think you know the reason he cheated, but you're not always right. Some of y'all are so busy thinking that your perfect, you don't even realize the mistakes that you're making in your relationship.

Soul Ties
Up until a few years ago, I had no idea what a soul tie was. I just knew that I had things going on with me in the past that I couldn't understand. I couldn't understand why I still felt emotionally attached to certain individuals. I couldn't stand these people but at the same time, for some reason I couldn't shake the feelings that I had. I started to question if I still cared about the individual...until things were put into perspective for me. I was told that I was dealing with a soul tie.

FAMILY
Growing up as a little girl, I remember all those fun summer nights I had spending time with my sisters and my cousins. We would go to the parks together, to the stores, play in front of the house and once we became a little older, we even started going out together. Basically, we were all extremely close. We were so close that when you seen one of us, you knew the rest weren't that far behind. This went on for years. We were almost inseparable.
