Well, I popped awake this morning at about 8:00 and wondered why I couldn’t go back to sleep. I stared at the ceiling and this song kept circling in my head: K-dot did that for his son a while back. But I think it’s so beautiful. Like…makes you wanna rush out and have a kid…almost. … Read More

Comfort from a Child

Categories: figuring it out, growing, mommy in training

I found the comfort I was looking for. And I would have never expected it where it came from. I was at the office after my first workout at Curves and trying to finish up Satan’s work (otherwise known as coding the clips for the MB show). And at the doorway pops little KC and … Read More

I’m sitting here listening to Common and Lauryn Hill’s duet “Retrospect for Life”. So many feelings rush forward for me when I think about what they’re saying.

Tonight, my baby and I were talking about baby names. What we’d name our boy and our girl. I had suggested Christopher but he thought that was too plain. He suggested Elias… but I think that’s too… um… Jewish sounding. Nothing against the Jews. But we’d call him “Eli” for short. What we did agree … Read More

People love me

I constantly am reminded of how many people love me. I think it’s God’s way of making sure I don’t give up on myself. Last night at the Stepshow, before they were going to announce the winners, they pulled me up on stage and the whole audience sang Happy Birthday to me. Sorors, Zetas, Deltas, … Read More
