It just takes time

5 years later after the pic here of me & the girls. I got an actual, new to me, bed.

I got so much of a bed, my petite 5’2” body is in a King Size 😳😆

I also got some other sweet new to me pieces of furniture.

Last year I scored a sweet surf board, doing something I’d been dreaming of and trying since high school

A couple of years ago, I got my 4 Runner, because my car kept breaking down.

That very first year, I quickly found us a home. It felt safe and protected and was our perfect start, in Ohana units, in the beginning.

To all my fellow co parent, single parent, single income friends. (With A special shout out to all my fellow, finances are all on you and you alone, friends).

As you know, sometimes, it just takes time.

The grieving, the healing, the building a life, your new life, your proud of. The setting up a home, cozy, and functional for you and your kids. While working, and mothering, doing allll the house things on your own, and having a bit of your own life. …It, might, just take time.

Precious Time. That had Daysha building a table to sell, to pay for their bed. That gave her a nook instead of a room for few years. That had Naila sleeping with me, with no bed of her own, our first year. …

that produced the fondest memories, and built my biggest strength. Opened heart wider, to love and be more compassionate. Brought us all in closer, by traveling it all together.

5 years later, I got a big ole bed. Imma sleep good.

Sweet Dreams 😴🙏🏾💪🏽⚡️
