All Over the Place Sometimes...

What a busy weekend I have had! I now have a 7-year old and as hard as that is to believe, THIS weekend made it real. Motherhood is such a phenomenally unique experience that lasts a lifetime. My motherhood journey is relatively new so I know I have so many intense experiences to go. I look forward to it all and I am nervous about it all too. It feels strange that my journey as a mother and as a writer have some things in common. As I am going through both AT THE SAME TIME, I see how both are molding me into the woman I am to be. Because of these journeys, I know I’m more than good enough FINALLY. I am an intelligent, talented, kind, and loving person. And although I feel like I am getting to this self-awareness level, late in life, I am glad that I am here. Negativity has no place here, no more. Naysayers and judgmental critics are heard but words will not be absorbed into my being→

It's rainy outside for the moment. The rain has made me feel so many things. So many moments were the rain from the sky poured AND other things came raining down on me, on us. Things like tears that fall down someone’s face when folks are happy or sad. Things like the bass of some hip-hop coming from a car’s window. Things like shots fired or fireworks popping off even when there is no cause for either. Things like the laughter of kids playing in the playground, eating popsicles from the ice cream truck. Earlier this week the rain set on a moment of grief that was totally consuming. I feel like that moment of grief had an impact on all I felt and experienced this week. I realize that there are times when these blog entries are all over the place, like today, right now. God has my beautiful mind thinking and feeling a lot today, period.
