My baby is officially a TEENAGER. 😭❤️

13 years of loving you, raising you, learning you, praying over you, laughing with you, and watching you become this incredible young man. Amar’e, being your mom is one of the greatest joys of my life. I hope when you look back at this weekend, you don’t just remember the swimming, video games, movies, ALLLLL the food 😂 and the countless laughs. I hope you remember how deeply loved you are.

And BABYYYY… my village SHOWED OUT! 🥹❤️

THE TT’S!!! There are no words for how you supported me. You cooked, cleaned, carried, organized, loved on my baby, loved on me, and allowed me to actually be PRESENT for this milestone. I could NOT have done this without you.

Toni, thank you for getting in that kitchen and helping me feed everybody! 😂❤️

To my friends who purchased things from my Amazon list—THANK YOU. Every contribution mattered and every act of love was felt.

Quan, thank you for capturing these memories. This video is a piece of Amar’e’s childhood that I get to keep forever. ❤️

Daddy, thank you for making the drive to celebrate your 13-year-old grandson. 🥹

Uncle Chris, thank you for coming, showing up for Amar’e, and getting on that grill for us! 😂🔥

And my sister Tia… thank you for ALWAYS showing up. Period. ❤️ I never have to wonder if my sister will be there.

There were so many laughs, so much food, so much noise 😂 and SO much fun—but underneath all of it was LOVE.

Amar’e, welcome to your teenage years, Champ. 🥹🏀 Watching my baby become a young man is bittersweet, but what a privilege it is to witness. I am so proud of who you are and excited about who you are becoming.

Keep being kind. Keep being YOU. Keep dreaming big. And always know that your mama is in your corner.

13 looks GOOD on you, son. ❤️

My village showed ALL THE WAY OUT.

WE DID THAT!!! 😂❤️

Last night was a little rough.
I found myself lying there wondering, “When will I be okay?”

Grief has a way of shrinking things.
Since my Nana passed and break-up, my family looks different now.
This Christmas, it’s just Amar’e and me.
I didn’t go home.
And I’m learning how to sit with that reality that my life looks different.

But this morning… I woke up feeling refreshed. Renewed.
And I made a decision.

I decided to make today a good Christmas—
even if it doesn’t look like the ones I’m used to.
Even if it’s quieter.
Even if it’s tender.

I’m choosing to love on the ones who love me.
I’m choosing presence over perfection.
I’m choosing to find beauty where I am.

None of us really know if we’ll ever be “okay” in the way we once were.
We don’t always know what this new life will look like.
But it is our job to keep trying—
to make it as gentle, as meaningful, and as beautiful as we can.

If you’re navigating a new normal today,
you’re not alone.
And it’s okay to hold grief and gratitude in the same breath. by @b_adorned

I have decided to share my healing journey! I have never experienced this type of pain in my life. I want to be free of it. My dream is to heal, share, inspire, motivate, and create a safe space for others to heal as well. We all deserve to be healthy, happy, whole people. I don't know about anyone else, but I want the life and the love that God created for me. I want to accept the poor choices that I made, grow from them, and move on. I'm HealingB! Let's Go!!! by @b_adorned

I'm still in awe over this weekend. These ladies, my B Loves came through and loved on me. These ladies all have so much going and they found time to make sure that I knew that I was loved, valued, and special.
Just last Monday through self-discovery I found out that I was harboring shame about my break-up. I immediately knew that I had to free myself of that terrible emotion. Holding on to shame only makes a person feel worse about themselves and I have made a vowe to "Love on B" until God calls me home. So, I was talking to God on last Monday about this shame situation, and I said I wanted to free myself of this emotion. I wanted to share with those closest to me about the devastating event that I've experienced since July and I didn't tell any of them. Well, as God would have it, these ladies popped up on me Friday to let me know regardless of who doesn't love me, they do!! They showered me with love, affection, safety, non-judgment, and tender loving care. They gave me what I needed in a time when I didn't know how badly I needed it. This was just the jilt that I needed to carry me through. I have been thinking of chronicling my healing journey. I strongly feel like I need to do it. I sometimes wonder how many people are feeling the same feelings confusion after navigating healing from a broken heart. I don't want to focus on the what happened but rather how do I move forward. Focusing on the what happened too long will keep you in a place of trauma, hurt, and panic. Which will cause you to do some things you may not be proud of. Trust me, I know. So, I'd like to know how anyone who is interested in sharing, to share their story on how the are either healing or have healed from heartbreak. Happy Healing ❤️

I promise he's the perfect amount of needy! I never imagined loving an animal to this magnitude. Creed is just what I need at this time in my life. He has been instrumental in my healing journey. #HealingB #rottweilerpuppy by @b_adorned

Happy birthday to my favorite human on the planet. Amar'e you are confirmation that God answers prayers. You are everything that I asked God for. You are such an amazing young man with a heart of gold. I am so proud to be your Mama! I can't believe you are 10! I love you, and I promise I am going to try to fulfill every dream we discuss and manifest. Luv you baby! by @b_adorned
