Gods Time ~ Our Choices

 Exactly! Life is full of choices, and it's up to us to decide how we want to respond to the challenges and obstacles that come our way. We can choose to wallow in self-pity and feel sorry for ourselves, or we can choose to get up, fight, and make the best out of the situation. It's all about having a positive mindset, taking action, and being resilient in the face of adversity.


I had two choices when I found myself displaced in an unfamiliar city without any real family caring for   my first and only newborn baby unexpectedly born at 4 1/2 months 21-22 weeks up against all odds , attached to oxygen . 


I could have stayed in our  hotel room, waiting for a place to become available, or I could have taken the initiative to leave the hotel, socialize, meet new friends volunteering ( join the Black infant mortality task force of Hillsborough ) , and work on mastering my skills Tampa Bay Community Network -TBCN while patiently waiting for an apartment that my heart desired for my son. This apartment was strategically located in a midpoint place, less than 10 minutes away from all the trauma level hospitals and a 5-minute walk from the fire station emergency services .


Absolutely! Patience and faith are key ingredients in navigating through difficult times. It's important to trust that things will work out in the end, even if it may not seem like it in the moment. Having patience allows us to stay calm and composed, while faith gives us the belief and hope that better days are ahead. With patience and faith, we can persevere through challenges and come out stronger on the other side.

Show Up Present & Represent

  Recently, my son had an encounter with a black male nurse during his hospital visit. As a parent, I was excited about the opportunity for my  medical complex son whom constantly followed by various of medical professionals weekly , to witness someone who looked like him in a familiar profession.   I wanted this experience to serve as an inspiration, a moment where my son could see himself represented in the medical field. However, I must admit that I was left disappointed by the nurse's behavior and attitude. Instead of embodying the role model standard I had hoped for, he fell short. His lack of empathy and professionalism left a bitter taste in my mouth. I understand that everyone has their off days, and I do not wish to generalize or stereotype based on this one encounter. However, it is disheartening when someone who could have been a source of inspirational sparks similar to those others whom spark my son talented drum playing at 10 months  old , instead ...
