Too long mama, too long

10 months and 3 days....... The period and time it has taken since your last breath. The day that I have finally broken down and had that ugly cry... the guttural heart wrenching cry that made everyone around me stop and stare.The day I could no longer hold in the pain of your loss. The …

Success is a personal journey

Yes, I said it. Success is about how you feel about yourself and the decisions you made at the end of a long working day/night. Growing up, the definition of success that was given to me or rather to most of us, was that success has to have a monetary attachment to it. Success was …

Forever Loved
