Finding the strength to carry on. It is easy to quit or question yourself when things get tough but it is quite another to dig deep, ride the storm and finish triumphant
Writing a book! I didn’t know I could do it (although I didn’t do it alone – God was writing with me the whole time.) Now, I feel like a whole new world has opened up for me. Who knew?
Is it pathetic of me to say that I don’t have any such achievement? I have achieved many things in life, but they have been at the cost of something else. I seem to get reminded of the losses every time I think of my achievements.
I think I need to work on my attitude here…
Potty training my two year old son back in the day (he’s 16 now). That, and helping him out when he was in a jam with his exams last year (it worked out all right in the end and he’ll always have those qualifications now!)
Asking out the woman who would then become the love of my life. I’d only met her a couple of times before and asked her out via FB Messenger as I didn’t see her regularly. We arranged to meet up after finding our calendars conflicted, but we persevered and this will be our third year together.
Running one of the most successful voter registration offices in the nation in 2008, occupying Wall Street in 2011, and giving up all the political brewha to go into pretirement in Florida at the ripe old age of 32. Also giving up drugs and nicotine and abusive relationships!
So hard! I have one son with autism, and while I’ve certainly learned and grown from being his mom, it’s often been immensely challenging. And you did it for two kids on the spectrum, wow!
Probably being Maid Marion in the school production robin hood or placing 4th for jump jam at Nationals what about you?
I graduated from college in December 2019.
Being a good father.
Being a good son
Having my son! It’s crazy how having kids drawers everything. 😂
I meant “dwarfs.” 🤦🏽♀️

I like that.
Knowing the secret to achieving sucess
Persistence. I’ve failed more than I’ve succeeded and I’ll end this year with EdD behind my name ❤️

Surviving.
Teaching our child Spanish and English.
Having my daughter
Cultivating my relationships
Having a hard time with this one.
I am still struggling. I cut off people, and that forced me to work on other relationships, but it isn’t perfect.
Being who I am… because that’s how I’ve survived.
You have the survival down. How’s life treating you.
8 out of 10. And you?
My sobriety
Of my education
becoming a teacher

Escaping from a narcissist and a cult.
Pulling myself out of my depression when I was first diagnosed with Fibromyalgia….

My children
At the moment, starting my blog. I have but it off for way too long.
Not caving into someone else’s game by simply making it my own….
Raising my two children with autism for sure…
So hard! I have one son with autism, and while I’ve certainly learned and grown from being his mom, it’s often been immensely challenging. And you did it for two kids on the spectrum, wow!
