Grateful to God is an understatement. Thankful for each of you and your many showers of birthday love today.
My whole life I’ve been the person who spoke out of turn. The one who just couldn’t listen to something wrong and be silent.
They said I was disrespectful as a child. Some think I’m disrespectful now.
In these 35 years I survived attempting suicide. Broke the generational curse that took my mother’s life 2 months after I was born. The struggles of life have a way of refining us.
My being here is proof to me that God’s plan is bigger than my thoughts. So I’ve learned to trust things will work out how they should — if I do what I should.
On this journey I’ve hurt people and been hurt. I learned from both. I’ve loved and I’ve lost.
I’ve been a good friend and a crap friend. I’m grateful that in most cases my friends and those I love have extended me grace like God has done so many times for me.
I don’t have all the answers. As a matter of fact, the older I get the more I realize how little I know.
We are all just navigating the journey of life. I’m hopeful for the future. Prepared to continue fighting.
I believe with everything in me #ChangeIsComing. If we step up and get to work.
Langston Hughes said, “And life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.” True words for me too, but the climb has been worth it. #LetsGoHigher #KeepPushing #Prosper #DoGoodSeekJustice
Thank you again everyone. Truly. The marathon continues...
