Becoming A Mother - To give a little context about my journey to becoming a mother, let me say that I always knew that it was on the cards for me, but I wasn’t quite certain when, how, or with whom it would become a reality, so in actuality, I never really focused on the probability too much until I became pregnant with my son Joshua and then years later, with my son Kai; both pregnancies starting with me carrying twins and both ending with me birthing singlets as, surprisingly, I’d experienced “vanishing twin syndrome” with both pregnancies.
Footprints In The Sand - I’m a steadfast believer in the concept of “footprints in the sand.” Along my journey, my God, my parents, my husband, and a few of my trusted friends have, without a doubt, walked with me (and in some cases physically carried me) even when their own feet were bleeding.
My Whirlwind Love - In the kaleidoscope of life, a whirlwind romance unfolded with one Dexter, vibrant and intense, only to be abruptly silenced by the cruel hand of fate. We met under serendipitous circumstances, sparks igniting a connection that felt like destiny itself.
The Rose That Grew From Concrete - By nurturing their own “roses,” people can continue to evolve and flourish, delivering exceptional connectivity and transformative experiences to their customers. I liken this concept to that of a lotus, growing from within the mud, so much so that I’ve incorporated the lotus five times into some of my tattoos.
Dream Big - I’ve always written down my dreams and aspirations and put them where I could see them regularly to remind my spirit subconsciously that what I’d written was where I’d hoped to take my life. While there have been distractions along the way, I’ve never let the distractions detract from the intended goal. Instead, I considered them necessary to prepare me for where I wanted to go.
Coping With Grief - Far too many times in my life have I had to experience the pains of coping with grief. It stripped me of the will to live, but somehow, I found a way to climb out of the hole of darkness and hopelessness.
Narcissists vs. Empaths - Being an empath is a double-edged sword because while feeling emotions is seemingly great, sometimes it’s been an unwelcome burden. I have often attracted narcissists as partners, and of course, once I came to see them with their fallen masks, that would indicate the end of the relationship, and I’d run.
Love In A Battlefield - During the relationship, I became the shadow of my previous self – I dressed like an absolute freak, I was no longer vocal about my thoughts, feelings, and opinions, I didn’t trust my ability to make good decisions for myself, and as much as I knew these things deep within, I could do nothing within to break free from the relationship. I felt like a prisoner within my mind and heart. It was as if he’d wanted to put me in a glass case and never let anyone near me.
Reclaiming the Essence of Me - I remember that moment in January, 2017, after having a heated argument with someone, when I vowed that I would no longer tolerate certain types of behaviour being meted out to me. Trust me, it was probably the most difficult process I’ve subjected myself to, but undoubtedly, the most meaningful and powerful. It was life-changing.
Taking My Life Back - To this end, I fully embraced the magnitude of the responsibility of being a single mother to my son. I knew that it would be very difficult, and that shit scared me more than anything else in this world, but my son meant everything to me.
HER Story - Throughout my short life, I’ve had many life-changing experiences, and each has molded my thinking in one way or another. I am so comfortable with myself that although sharing my life in this way terrifies me, I’ve always chosen to be unapologetically, authentically ME!
Through my healing, I’ve come to terms with the fact that he was more than likely and still is a narcissist. I don’t say that to fit in with the norm to throw around words carelessly or to feel as though I can relate to some stupid buzzword.... Now that my blinkers are off and I can see clearly, there’s not a soul in this world who can tell me otherwise about him without me thinking that they’re daft. I would also caution anyone considering having a relationship with him to run and never look back.
