The End of an Age

~sigh

It really happened.

Today…I…spent the last of my foodstamps.

~sobbing~

They’re all gone and they’re not coming back. I’m not a college kid anymore.

Man…

~chuckles~

And still I smile.

Transitioning from single college mom to single working mom. Trying to be a light and represent Christ. Trying to hold down my household without the certainty of financial aid. Making sure to love on my sons as my as much I can while still showing them who’s got the upper hand.

And still I smile.

You know, there’s more to me than my struggles and pain. I laugh. I make jokes. I have fun. Yeah, I still am working through issues, but, hey, who isnt?

Today I decided to cataog my hopes and share them with you. I have a vision that is so grand I sometimes can’t believe I dream this big.

Things that I want to accomplish

1) My own talk show

2) Write for magazines

3) Write books

4) Be a motivational speaker

5) Earn a passive income

6) Be an Easy, Breezy, Beautiful Cover girl cosmetics model

7) Be on the cover on Essence magazine

8) Write plays

9) Produce television shows

10) Move my parents closer and build them a house

11) Influence culture and shape attitudes about daily living

12) Own my own home(s)

13) Have more babies

14) Win the Nobel Prize for Literature

15) Have a successful marriage

16) Get some braces

My dreams on a platter served fresh and inviting.

Yet to be accomplished but promised.

I smile even though I dont know why. I guess it’s the promise of God remaining in my life.

Do you have a vision?
