Prosperous Soul: Family= Love

Good morning bloggers,

I come to you from my bed, after dropping off my big headed baby @ school because he bought roses for his GF & wanted to surprise her @ her locker this morning. How thoughtful! I have to say he is a chip off the old block, unfortunately the block has become harder & passionate gestures have become a thing of my past.
I have been working diligently to forget & move pass my divorce, but in doing so, I have neglected & chased away those whom I love deeply & dearly, my kids. If you don't know by now, my tribe called mess is my drive. I began my maternal career @ 17 years of age & my daughter, Sade, became my rock & my fuel to continue to push myself to no limit. By the time I was 20, I had 3 beautiful daughters & they defined who I became. At 27 I had 5 kids, the addition of my boys gave me the drive to leave their father alone & forced me to find a career that I would do well in, as an excellent caregiver, the choice was obvious: RN. Having been a mom, made it an easy endeavour to achieve. Getting through nursing school & finishing valedictorian was an honor.
Now, with 2 college graduates, 1 finishing college, another finishing high school & my youngest half way through high school- I feel like my hard work is paying off! My family may not be perfect, but we have each others back. We can pick on each other, but don't let anybody else try to do the same & we pounce!
So I write this brief synopsis on this Valentines day to remind all of you that true love begins with self & family. Having strong family bonds starts with a determined parent & leads to self love & eventually contributes to a solid personal & passionate relationship!
I share with you my pride & joy!

Solid: together we stand strong!
