As I turn one year older and one year wiser, I am reflecting on the journey. During my last season I posted "33 Things I've Learned." Transitioning from 32 to 33 was quite an introspective period of time for many reasons. From that season I have have blossomed in so many ways, hence, I am THANKFUL for...- God presenting me with a man who loves me unconditionally - who wants me to be his wife and the mother of his children. So glad I made the decision to "Man Up." Love you RK and can't wait to officially become KCK!
- Good home training - yes and no thank you go a long way
- Friendship with amazing individuals - the nucleus of keeping it real and humorous at the same time.
- My sister, whom I don't always see eye to eye with but whom I'm glad we can challenge each other in our differences.
- My big sister/friend/mentor for many years of wisdom and growth. Tough love has made our relationship stronger.
- The soon to be in laws that show love to me in the same way they do to my fiancee. It's pretty fresh to have more family to grow with.
- My godmother, who stepped right in after mommy and daddy passed and picked right up. Such a diva :)
- My CCC family - Pastor and Minister O have planted spiritual seeds that will last a lifetime.
- My TOM Girls - prayer has changed so many things in our lives...Here's to keeping it going whether near or far.
- My trainer who is kicking my butt while telling me stories about England and his own struggles with maintaining a healthy lifestyle (so relatable).
- Opportunities
- The three men in my past adult relationships that forced me to grow emotionally and spiritually because they prepared me for the love of my life...(I pray the deposits I made in their lives helped them to mature as well).
- My conversations with the good doctor have catapulted me to close chapters, unearth and work through emotions while setting goals in areas that I didn't know I had to.
- Repairing and growing my relationships with my extended family - what a journey to healing and developing on new ground!
- My four legged babies Jello & Nina have taught me so many lessons about myself. Mama loves and needs your presence...MEOW :)
- Common sense and the ability to think from a macro approach and not a myopic perspective.
- My BA degree- straight up! Graduating from college in 4 years didn't feel like a given at that time of my life, but I made it, and Dad lived to witness it.
- BG Unlimited - God put it on my heart years ago and I'm finally accepting my responsibility to bring the multi-platform vision to pass
- Resources
- Gifts, talents and abilities
- Memories too many to remember...too many to forget!
- The power of the written word to shape, heal and transform
- My Blackberry - gotta love messages and thoughts on the go
- Hair accessories - OMG - pony tails, wigs...I heart being able to flip my look
- Experience - beyond it being a good teacher, it's one heck of a prop to boost confidence
- Laughter
- The color of the sky at sunrise and sunset
- Grey's Anatomy
- The lessons I've learned along the way...it's the little things
- Houston's spinach dip - satisfies my cheese fetish and my green veggie requirement :)
- New York - so much to do...so much to love
- Faith
- My car - exactly what I envisioned, blessed and manifested in the right season
- Love expressed unconditionally, selflessly and unlimited
**And my wish for my 35th - To continue to grow and strengthen my relationship with God, knowing and understanding His word while exhibiting His spirit in everything I do...a journey of patience, dedication and consistency. **
