I appreciate this blog post for all kinds of reasons, one is that it points out that even when we push ourselves once or twice that doesn’t give us permission to stop pushing ourselves.

Hey Ladies,
I am always touched by your responses to my posts. If nothing else, I want us all to remember that we are in this life thing together, regardless of the individual paths we walk. Here’s to a week of peace and love and success on your journeys. And a special blessing for Linda- who manages to keep her head up and trucking every day. That is doing the dayum thing!

As I’ve said many times before, Djuanna blogs always awaken something inside of me. My friends always call me and tell me that I’m always so supportive, quick to help and thoughtful. I always laugh it off, cause seriously, that’s not me! I complain to my husby, because I always want to pick up the phone and call someone to listen to me, but realize that I can’t. Neverthelss, I answer no matter what time the phone rings, if they need me, I’m going.

I had stopped going to church and neglecting my church duties and reading the bible. I was depressed when I lost my aunt, and since my mom’s diagnosis, I’ve decided that I want to be happy. I want to be a better daughter. For so long I envied the relationship my mother has with my younger siblings. But recently, I’ve discovered, while it’s not a traditional mother and daughter relationship, she is one of my closest friends. Growing up we didn’t talk much. Now we’re on the phone all the time and I’m helping her with dating 101. I’ve known her my entire life, yet, it’s so much I don’t know about her.

Djuanna, I too want to be a better mother. Especially with my oldest son, I was a teen when I had him, and I’m quick to let anger keep my mouth and heart close. Yas, I’ve been on the bake and boiling kick, leaving pop (sodas) alone with plenty of fruits and vegetables. Ya’ll know I say a writer is trapped in my soul! So I say we should all venture out and try to make something of it.

Nothing beats a failure but a try!

Lashonda, my mother and sister are the ones in my life asking about my stories and poetry. I want to be able to give them that because they believe in me. My husband told me if I write it, he'll make sure it's published. Those three besides friends are my dedicated support system. .-= Jennifer C´s last blog ..Stay True to You =-.

I agree Jennifer with the writing thing. My husband always ask me why I don't work on my stories more. Everyone in my family says they always thought I would have a book published by now. .-= Lashonda Silver´s last blog ..A Whole New Me =-.

I pushed myself twice. I went back to school after being away for 11 years. I'm going to be a teacher. The second thing was stepping out and creating more of my jewelry and selling them. My next thing I want to push myself to do is become more serious with my writing. I really believe that I can bring different types of stories to readers. I just have to push my fear aside and get to it. .-= Jennifer C´s last blog ..Stay True to You =-.
