Dear Girls:

As I watch you sleep, I think about all the love, happiness and joy you bring into my life. I could not ask for two better angels to keep me company. With you in my life, I could never really feel lonely. Ever. I believe that you are all the family I need and although things can change fast and don't always go as plan, I know the three of us are going to thrive as the family that we still are. Our journey is just beginning. Hold on tight because I plan to make it great. Just know that mommy is not sad anymore.

Love always,
Mommy

Hudson Black

Jamis Hudson Sport Sx

Meet the new man in my life, Hudson Black. I've been wanting to buy a bike for a while now and I was debating between getting a Fuji or an Electra cruiser. Well, let's just say that when I saw them in person, I wasn't feeling them as much. That's when I saw this Jamis and fell in love with it. It's not even a cruiser bike, it's considered a comfort bike and let me tell you why I opted for this instead... The cruiser bikes are nice but boy are they bulky as crap. Anyway, since it was love at first sight, I had to buy it right then and there. I bought a basket and a lock as well. When I got home, I took it for a ride along with the girls and we went on our first bike expedition adventure to the state park next to our building. We had fun and we plan to make it our new routine at least three times per week. I love you Hudson!

My Sweet Valentine

I must confess that this is the first Valentine's Day in a long time that I actually took the time to think about real love, friendship and happiness. I'm not sure what kind of life I've been living before, but what I'm experiencing now is something more profound and perhaps more meaningful. It's something that excites me and makes me see everything through different eyes. I'm not sure how to explain it other than the fact that I feel deeper, I find more joy in the little things and I feel more connected to my spiritual being.
I can honestly say I didn't feel lonely today. The day started by going to breakfast with my good friend Sandra and her little boy. I then came home to organize the girls' room and catch up on other house chores. Before I knew it, it was time to pick up the girls from school. I had my two babies as my dates and we went to Barnes and Noble and to POC's for dinner. We came home, played, watched TV and ended the night with our family meeting and a prayer. What can I say other than life is actually good. I never thought you could grow any closer to your children, but single parenting has taught me that it is possible. I cherish every moment spent with them. My girls are my everything and my reason to keep pursuing my path. I'm not lost anymore. My path is still unclear and it frightens me at times, but I know I'm heading in the right direction.
Goodnight and Happy Valentine's Day once again!
