Tot Talk: Empowering Miss G.

On today, International Women's Day I am reflective on how I want to empower Miss G. and support her not only as a girl but as an African-American girl. I want to teach her strength through love, teach support though kindness and teach her love through actions. I want her to see her mommy giving to others and supporting others but still there for her when she needs it. I want to empower her through her learning, through her thoughts, though her words and through her feelings.I want her to know that she matters in every way. I am learning to show her even though she is little she is powerful and special always. Each morning we have been saying a manta..

" I am smart. I am beautiful. I can learn.
I am loved.

I can do anything. You Go Girl!"

I want her to say it so much that she has it down in her spirit so that whatever comes her way or whatever someone says to her she already knows that who and what she is. I love saying it with her, it helps me throughout the day.

What do you do to empower your child or yourself?

Love, Marriage and then a _______________

Love, marriage and then a baby carriage. I am preggers. I am 15 weeks pregnant. I know that it is not fall along, but I wanted to share our blessing on my blog. We are very excited about the little one, that we are currently calling Baby J. I have not had much sickness. I have had periods of nausea, but it is not consistent. I have noticed that my body is changing, as it should. I just guess that I was not expecting my body to change that quick. As my friend, Bev says, " Your growing a life. What do you expect?" She is right. Really, I do not know what to expect. It will be quite a little journey as another part of me sweeping through life.
