My perpetrator was actually someone that I worked with who liked me and I liked him too (no benefits). We were not in a relationship at the time but went on dates to dinner, movies and I was even introduced to his family briefly
This has been a long year so far for everyone in my household. Trying to balance work (from home), kids and a household has been a bit overwhelming but my husband and I were able to pull it off. The school year at the beginning of 2019 seemed to be filled with a year of excitement as my kids began their curriculum at school. They were all set to see their friends, teachers, and new classrooms.
I never knew the process of how my body went from craving meat to being repulsed by the smell of meat. For 13 years I learned how to flavor my vegetables and soy products as well as reduce my portion size. I have been able to try different foods that I had never tried before such as sushi, eggplant lasagna, cauliflower rice and baked sweet potato, and soy bean chili just to name a few. I still had fluctuations in my weight due to my love for pasta and cheese so being a vegetarian does not mean you’re healthy because you still have to monitor what you eat and the amount you eat.
Good old Sallie Mae, when I think of that name all I can think of is debt coupled with frustration and despair. It could be a bit overwhelming when I look at my student loan amounts on my credit report which total upward of $250,000 (interest included). Student loan debt is now one of the largest financial burdens on Americans all over the country.
My natural hair journey started as a little girl with the real 4C hair texture. I knew my hair was different and that I couldn't get it wet because it was hot combed and would shrink. I went through many phases of hair styles from original natural, hot combed, Jheri Curl (yes they were dripping-lol).
During what's been labeled as the "COVID Period" seems like someone was taking notes from the movie "Contagion" and decided to implement them in real life. Scripture talks about the end times and what that is suppose to look like BUT as Matthew 24:36 (NIV) reads "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father".
I learned don’t judge a book by it’s cover or in this case where they live; because I’ve been in decked to the nine houses owned by the richest and those books are crooked and even lost in the pages of their own life. In this life we are blessed to have many experiences; sometimes we try and shield ourselves or others shield us from them but GOD has built you to speak to a group of people that needs to hear your story to break out of their shell and awaken their minds to change a nation.
Yes, that's a mugshot........when I was jailed for a crime that I didn't commit. As we were in spiritual battle with the enemy; I prayed in my head everyday for God to save us all from the enemies grip.
The test came when I met his youngest child which was 2 years old at the time. My husband wasn't sure how she would receive me but when I tell you she came right into my arms without a fuss, it was magical. My husband was surprised that she took so quickly to a new person and I told him "children's minds are like sponges, they adapt to changes easily" - lol.
