Yesterday is History, Tomorrow is a Mystery, and Today is a Gift! I love this saying; we are blessed with a Holy strength that charges us to face tomorrow when today is not a day to count on. Faith & Goodwill can help us face & resolve our challenges, & keep moving forward; there are better days! #MOI Ask me anything; when I look back, I say, wow, I did it!
“Each one of us struggles in a different way, and each has a story to tell. I wish sometimes we’d learn from others instead of being the story ourselves…” Said Alexandra – Chapter Nine, Life’s Detours: Alexandra’s Choices
#MOI I am the author asking you, was there an incident in your life where you had wished you learned from other’s experiences?
Check the books and get inspired to find your own!
I am an author, I share my experience through writing, I write to inspire & I tell you the following if you get a chance to research my books: it’s a life, not a book; it’s a woman, not a character; it’s a reality & not a story!
I remember this day back in 1995, strictly Monday, January 23. It was the closing of my 40th week in pregnancy and a planned delivery due to health complications; I was excited & scared.
The house was ready, & my firstborn Vanessa was ready; her portable crib, clothes, food, and toys, and she was excited to welcome her baby sister!
The plan was to go to the hospital at 11:00 pm, induce labor around 1:00 am, & give birth at around 7:00 am before Vanessa wakes up.
The birth went according to plan, the only thing I could not plan and finalize was the journey of the two sisters and the answers to my fear when thinking: what if & what if I would not be around?!
Tomorrow I will talk about the welcome of the baby; as for today, I want to talk about the role of faith in my life and what I learned. When you have questions, have faith; when you have fears, have faith; & when you have concerns, have faith!
I am not saying I did not turn my back upset with God many times; I am telling you, every time I turned around, HE was there to wipe my tears and hold my hand to be stronger.
Thank you, God, for the gift you gave me; being a mom was the first goal and dream I had, ever, and here I check it off my bucket list as complete.
#MOI Grateful, Happy, & Proud mommy, God bless all children!
“Our biggest mistakes are the chances we miss taking assuming they will eventually come again.
Life is an ongoing journey with no reverse, repeat, not with duplicate.
Our dreams are happening through the chances we take, when they derail from our routine and safety zone.
Are you ready to break the norm? Well at the end, one day you will pause whatever you are doing, and tell yourself. What is life without chances & new opportunities!” #MOI & the journey of a thousand twists
“Maybe it’s better this way, a sentence that reflects on my state of mind many times throughout my life. I used to say, that’s it, no way out… I used to feel, it’s better not to react when displeased and uncertain… I used to think, you have to live what was given to you.
Then, time passed. I grew, and I did on every level, and mostly inner strength; I realized that as we were given a past and a current, we were, as well, given strength, a mind, a heart, and options. So I realized that we may never have the plan, but it doesn’t mean we should not make one. & then I realized the most precious gift of all: FAITH.”
