Keep your parenting!
The real work of motherhood begins when the day you never dreamed off arrives. For me, it was this week. I have been holding on to my daughter being my first baby for so long that I secretly refused to see her as the teenager she was becoming. I have been in denial since I…

Keep Ranyenna or happy birthday our gift we give back to God!
If you see him, it’s like you see God. In his purest form, there is clarity with life, clarity too with however long or short days may be. If you ask, there is love. The type decisive and smooth with a pulse and delight that is beyond good. With him, everything about a day is…
