  • As a single mom making the decision to leave everything I knew and was comfortable around was a hard decision. I really loved by faith when it came to moving to Texas and being 5 months in I wouldn’t change a thing. The move and change was needed. 💙
    So cheers to a fresh start✨

    I felt that when you said, “You get a new narrative when moving to a new state”
    I got set up by my friends & they spread rumors about me to make it look like I’m a “freak” or “nasty” & that’s what a lot of people my age say when mentioning my name.🙄

    I have been STRUGGLING! Vascilating since my oldest was 20 to move. All the fears settled in. I appreciate you Lani. I stayed until my gma passed and felt from God that was a "release" for me since I was her primary caregiver. I am suffocating here in my hometown. Toxic situationship, amd there is purely nothing here for me. I am uncomfortably comfortable, because I at least have job here. I fear taking my boys from their dad. However, they are in high school and live with him to school (for the past 2 months). Long and short, thank you for this. I busted into tears. I dunno anyone reliable in Houston Area, so it would be just me. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope the next chapter of your life will be very productive. You are a great mother and you’re doing a phenomenal job taking care of your children. Be very careful who you let in your friend circle. You are very pretty and jealous and envy sometimes is hard to spot. Be careful!
