It’s been a while my 🍋s

Yall- it’s been a minute and life been doing its thing. Here are a few highlight:

- my oldest made straight A’s this quarter

- I started therapy

- still married (happier)

- autism diagnosis(ish) for my youngest

- promotion at work.

God STILL good! 🩷

What’s been new with yall?

5/24 Edited to

Life has a way of surprising us with both challenges and triumphs, and I’ve found that embracing each moment truly helps to appreciate the journey. Celebrating my oldest child's straight A’s made me reflect on the importance of supporting kids academically while nurturing their mental health. Starting therapy was a pivotal step for me—it’s amazing how talking openly about feelings and experiences can lead to growth and healing. Maintaining a happy marriage amid life’s changes requires effort and communication, which I’ve recently prioritized more than ever. Receiving an autism diagnosis (or at least an initial understanding) for my youngest child opened new doors to tailored support and deeper empathy. It reminded me how crucial it is to advocate for children’s individual needs and celebrate their unique traits. A recent promotion at work was also a rewarding affirmation that perseverance pays off, balancing career ambitions while managing family life. Through it all, keeping faith and gratitude at the center has been my anchor. Sharing these moments with others allows us to connect and inspire, proving that even amidst unpredictability, there’s growth, joy, and hope. What milestones or changes have shaped your life lately? Let’s continue this conversation and support each other on our paths.

Just wanted to give an update. Updated my glam routine, did a great silk press but it rained today 🫠 I used the wow dreamcoat for curly hair. I was torn at first but I think I know John Frieda and the L’Oréal heat protectant works better. I’ll be trying that next time. I might consider even
