Another Chance to Shine

My baby daddy just called. He’s fourty-five minutes away from Miami. He’s bringing my boys back after a week-long visit in Orlando. I just got back in from shopping. Boy, it feels nice to shop again. All this double job working has finally paid off.

I bought some streamers and noise makers and balloons for my sons. We’re gonna party tonight! This will be their first New Year celebration because usually they’re asleep and I’m sitting up sipping on rum and coke and wondering why the hell I am all alone. But not this year. This year I’ll be with my family and dancing with my sons. We have some wine and cheese to nibble on and my Mama and I are gonna get loose! LOL!

I am so appreciative of my parents for allowing me to come home with my sons. They get on my nerves sometimes but they are just being parents and I have never had so much fun as I am having since I’ve been back in Miami. There’s nothing like having your family and friends around to love on you.

2004 was wild. This time last year I had just graduated from college and wondering what I was gonna do with my life. Who knew that one year later I would be living in Miami again and would have gone through 5 different jobs?

My hopes for the New Year?

I hope I find a good church home to raise my sons in. Church is supposed to feel like family and I want my sons to experience that because I never have.

I hope to figure out what to do with all this sexual tension. I am one horny chica, but with no options for a quick release. Well I guess that’s a good thing. I don’t have to worry about STD’s or unplanned pregnancies.

I hope for financial stability and mental clarity.

I hope for success and happiness for my friends.

I hope to be a positive influence on the people around me.

I hope to be alive this time next year.

For you I hope that you realize that this is YOUR life to live. Break free from the shackles of the influence of those around you and dare to live for yourself. Every decision you face is yours to live with so don’t be afraid. You’re capable. You’re smart. You can choose wisely.

Much love to you as we embrace a brand new year.

It’s all an uphill battle. It’s okay to rest a minute but never stop climbing. It’s your turn to shine. Make your mark on this world.

Do your thang!
