Hello, how’s it going my blog peeps?

I want to talk about some proud moments that I have had. I was just thinking and writing. I was in a good mood and sitting back chilling, and I thought about the things that I am most proud of, things that are common in life and what makes us who we are—the simple things in life. I am in a sharing mood!

I have to say giving birth twice is a proud moment. With my first child, a son, it was a proud moment along with a nervous moment and not knowing what to expect with becoming a first-time mother. I was so scared and happy at the same time. I am proud and thankful for my son. With my second child, I was delighted and proud that I was having a little girl, a little mini-me. I have the best of both worlds with a boy and a girl. Had complications with both pregnancies, but I am still proud to be here and to be a mother. Proud moments that made me who I am today.

Next, I am proud of me finishing school. First, I finished high school and got into college. I did go to college for three years and didn’t finish. Second, I am proud of returning years later and getting my associate’s degree. I was going through hard times when I returned to school, and I did not let that stop me. It was such a process. I am proud of getting my education. I am a person who believes that you can always be taught something and learn something new.

There are so many, but I want to share another one. That is me pursuing my dreams when I had so many doubts and fears about it. That, too, was a process and still is. I am proud that I was consistent with it and patient with myself. Giving myself time to put my best work out. Some people told me that I couldn’t write or publish a book. A proud moment that warmed my heart because, from time to time, I would feed into what they were saying.

I am proud of myself for publishing two books, and Homegirl is definitely pushing to publish more. Sometimes, life gets so challenging and chaotic that we do not stop and think about the things we have done or that we should be proud of.

Proud of overcoming the dark times.

Proud moments and what we achieve shape us; sometimes, reflecting on the past can be a good thing.

I just wanted to share what my thoughts were tonight. I am thinking deeply about my life overall.

Have a good one.

Love, Peace, Happiness, and Blessings!
