There will be many blogs on this topic throughout the time frame of our blog and podcast. This topic has so many starts and ends, feelings and moments. I can begin by sharing that when I was a small girl, my dreams were simple. I wanted to grow up, have a career, never get married but the one thing I did want was to be a mom.
I wanted many children, four or five, the way I grew up with sisters and a brother. God did not bless me with many biological children, but he did give me a beautiful boy and beautiful girl. I am the only sibling with one of each. It was a journey to become a mother for me, many challenges and speedbumps to overcome but at the end it was worth it.
My children brought the on the changes that I needed and did not even know I needed them. They brought on challenges that had to be figured out at the moment. Most importantly they taught me so much about life, love and patience, especially patience. I am not going to exaggerate and say it was perfect because it was far from it.
I had two children two years apart by the time I was 23 years old, a career in the hospitality industry, faced adulthood and mental illness diagnosis all while raising my two children.
Nothing about it was easy, but it taught me how deep I could love and how resilient I would turn out to be. More to come on the details of raising my kids!
