Thankful.    

Grateful. Blessed.

This project has been a labor of love. 

And it is finally here because of the love that was poured into me.

You see, I was empty. I was an empty vessel that walked, talked, worked, and mommied for years on end . But that was it. I was not breathing. I was not living. This passion project is up and running because of you, my loved ones. You poured into my empty cup and now I am overflowing, filled to the brim. My cup has a constant flow of love, joy, and compassion and now it is my turn to fill other people’s cups.

A special thank you to…

To Pamela Poe: My #1 supporter in life and beyond. When I did not love myself, you loved me in my faults and absence. You no longer have to carry my heart anymore because I am strong enough to do so. Thank you for being my best friend.

To my friends and family: To the ones that uplifted me from the brinks of brokenness; To the ones that let me weep and wallow with them until I was ready to stand on my two feet; To the ones that read my many rough drafts as I started to embark on this new journey. Thank you for loving me when I was learning how to love myself.

To my mother: Thank you for always respecting my independency and the road I take. I know you may not understand it, but you were always the constant presence rooting for me in my corner. I make it my life’s mission to repay you for every sacrifice you have made for me.

To Caleb James & Damien Grey: This is my testimony to you two, my dear sweet children. You may not understand this now, but this is for you. Never let that beautiful internal flame extinguish. Life does not end when you think the world is falling apart; you just have not glimpsed the bigger scope of life yet. The world is yours, my sons, as long as you keep chasing after it.

To you: Thank you for joining me on this journey. I am not perfect and neither is this ride. But that is 100% completely okay. Accept mine and yours beautiful flaws and we will link arms together. As you are here on this world, you are never alone. You are never alone with me on this walk of life.
