Balancing parenting, personal goals, and the need for additional income can feel overwhelming, especially when life constantly pulls you in different directions. In this post, I reflect on the challenge of finding time for myself amid daily responsibilities. Despite completing blogs and other tasks, I often struggle to turn them in due to distractions. Yet, I’m motivated by the reality of inflation and uncertainty, pushing me to seek new ways to create revenue streams. With a change in mindset, I’m determined to overcome these challenges and keep moving forward, knowing things will get better in due time.

After months of being consumed by someone else’s mood swings, I realized I had neglected my own well-being. In an effort to regain balance, I decided to turn my attention back to myself during my DiscoverMe month. This period of reflection allowed me to refocus on personal growth, family, and my aspirations as a blogger and entrepreneur. In this post, I share how I’ve learned to set boundaries, embrace my flaws, and prioritize my own journey toward self-improvement.

In this heartfelt tribute, I celebrate the unsung superwomen who play pivotal roles in children’s lives, offering love and care that goes beyond biological ties. My great-grandmother, Ora Bell Kelley, exemplified this selfless love, raising me as her own and sharing her wisdom. Though I later learned she wasn’t my biological mother, our bond remained unshaken. This post honors the women who, like Ora Bell, nurture and guide with unwavering devotion, showing that love transcends bloodlines.

In a world where children’s voices are often overlooked, it’s crucial to recognize the power of listening to them.

From teaching respect to encouraging open communication, we can help children develop into confident individuals who are aware of the world around them. By engaging with their emotions and understanding their viewpoints, we can create a nurturing environment that empowers the next generation.

Is anyone listening? The recent riots and protests are a cry for change, a call for society to acknowledge deep-seated frustrations.

This post urges us to recognize that the issues are not just about violence—they are about years of unaddressed pain and the demand for fairness in a divided society.
