It’s not time yet!

Sometimes I get these deep revelations from little things that happen during my everyday life. During this trip to pick up breakfast, that revelation was LOUD! It is so crazy how a trip to get breakfast can so quickly become so impactful.

Happy Resurrection Sunday! ⁣

It’s crazy. I can’t even remember what we did last Easter. I have no recollection. ⁣
⁣
This one is one for the books.

Happy Friday!⁣
⁣
A few new folks are lurking around my little corner on IG. Hey, y'all! It's been a while since I have done a #fridayintroduction so I figured this just might be a good time to do so.⁣
⁣
I'm Minah. It's #simplyminah because each day, I strive to be myself; without ambiguity nor embellishment. I think I do a pretty good job at that.⁣
⁣
Motherhood is a huge part of my life, however, I am endeavoring not to make it ALL of who I am. It's been challenging but I have been doing the work and that's what matters.⁣
⁣
I love, LOVE polka dots, fruity/gummy candy, and to laugh. ⁣
⁣
Music, good music, is my love language. I have always had a love for music. Days can go by without watching TV, but I MUST listen to music every day. Marvin Gaye is one of my favorites. In honor of him and what would have been his 82 birthday, I have shared one of my favorite songs by him. (swipe)⁣
⁣
Now that you know a little more about me, share something about you! Looking forward to reading new things about ya!⁣

One of the highlights of my mini-bae-cay was being surprised with having my makeup professionally done. Wait what? Yes, we were celebrating "his" birthday but he surprised me.

@itsjojoonthebeat did her THANG! I did not want to wash my face at the end of the night. I actually didn't until 4am. I loved it! She was very professional, prompt, and fast.

I felt so pretty the entire night. It was definitely a much-needed confidence booster. Thanks to my ♥️for the surprise and thank you @itsjojoonthebeat for the BEAT!

disclaimer: This pic does not do her work justice.

Happy Monday! Wait... It's Tuesday!

Back from a much-needed mini-vacay and already planning the next.

I think this was one of the 1st times I had away from my child and wasn't stricken with intense mom guilt. I can't lie, for a split second, I started to feel a little guilty that I was enjoying myself, doing new things, and seeing new sights without my child. I found myself thinking, "aww I wish Alex was here to see this or do that". It took all of 20 seconds to reply to me and say, "Hey girl, you can have fun without your kid. It's ok"

Time away from the kid is needed, especially since we have been cooped up inside with each other, all day every day for an entire year. I just really figure out why it's so easy for the guilt to seep in? And why am I still dealing with mom guilt 6 years in?

Y'all got any clues?

New day. New Week. I am working on increasing my

New day. New Week.

I am working on increasing my faith this week and beyond.

Happy Monday!

What are you affirming today? This week?

I had a long caption written about this quote but I decided to just sit it here and ask you to ask yourself this one question:⁣

Top of the month and here I am late... AGAIN. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Don't kill me @micoleforte
⁠⁠
Truth is, empowering myself hasn't always been easy. Still isn't. I have always been able to hype others up easily! I will encourage you like no other. Me on the other hand, not so much. There is usually an inner-voice whispering in my ear, telling me bragging about myself is vain.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
But is it really? I don't think so. If I don't hype myself up who will? And what good is it if I don't believe it when others do?⁠⁠
⁠⁠
So maybe it's difficult for me to brag about myself because sometimes I don't believe it. It's hard sometimes to believe how strong I am because sometimes I get weak. When I'm wearing sweats and leggings all day, every day, it can be hard to believe I am beautiful. It can be difficult to believe I am resilient because sometimes I want to give up. It's straight-up arduous to revel in the fact that I am more than just a mother because sometimes that's really all I have time to be.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
The great thing about all of this is, it doesn't matter what day it is and what I find hard to believe on any particular day, all of these things about me are true! I am beautiful. Admitting that I have weak moments actually proves that I am strong. I am somebody's momma but that I am so much more than that and each day, that person is being revealed. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
There is more to this empowerment challenge than I thought would be. It's bringing great insight!⁠⁠
The goal is to see all of things about me and believe them even when I can't.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
What amazing things can you say about yourself today? How do you empower you?⁠⁠
⁠⁠

New Month. New Week. New Affirmations.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
After making the decision to divorce the kid's father, I took issue with the decisions I made. Initially, I didn't necessarily think I made the best decision. And looking back, I had severe trust issues with... myself. There were many times I walked in fear and lacked confidence because I didn't think I could trust myself to make the best decisions for my child and me.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I can distinctly recall hearing my therapist's voice, reminding me "You've made the best decisions with what you had. You are the best you can with what you have."⁠⁠
⁠⁠
As time progressed and I actively "did the work", I regained trust in myself. When I found myself questioning my decision-making, I would remind myself of all of the sound, smart decisions I have made for us in the past. The markers on my timeline suggested that if I did it before, surely I can make the best decisions for us again.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Sometimes it can get bleak, but this week, I am choosing to believe in my testimony!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
What are you affirming today? This week? In this new month?⁠⁠
