Life has been really crazy lately
—but in a strange way,
it’s also been productive.

I’m healing beautifully
from my surgery
(not sure if I even told y’all about that),
but I had an excellent surgeon.
🙌🏾

I’ve been exercising too,
and
I can honestly say
I feel stronger
every single day.

Recently,
I had a conversation
with one of my older sisters
—and let’s just say,
it opened
my eyes
even wider.

I’ve had a real epiphany
about the family
I was born into…
and it’s
even worse
than I thought.

There will definitely
be articles about that
in the Black Sheep section of my blog,
because
those reflections deserve
their own space.

For a long time,
I was
seriously considering
NOT
writing a book
about my life
because I didn’t want
to bring any bad name
to my mother
or my family.

But after
finding out that
—for over forty years—
they’ve been scheming
and slandering me
for defending myself
against a child molester?!

Something they should have praised me for?!

Nah.

That silence is over.

You’ll have to
read my book to get
the full
“Preciousness"
of the bullshit.

Some females
—and yes, I said females—
because I refuse to call them women
and they definitely
ain't no mothers,
should never
give birth to children.

Anyway…
on a brighter note,
I’m writing,
exercising,
and trying to build new memories.

I’m focused
on strengthening relationships
with the children
who are here with me,
present,
and showing love every day.

I’m healing.
In body, mind, and truth.
