For those of you who have been following me for a while or have known me personally, you will know that my blog and social media presence have changed a lot through the years. When I first created the blog, “A Mother Inspired,” (the name of my previous blog) I was a mommy blogger. I was a stay at home mom with 3 littles, pre-school age and younger. Then, my life shifted. My kiddos got older and went to school and I started working again. I am a hairstylist by trade and therefore went back into the salon world. My husband was starting his own business and finances were tight so in addition to doing hair, I also tried my luck at becoming a social media influencer. I thought that since I know a lot about the world of hair and beauty, I could share my knowledge and hopefully make some money doing it. Turns out, that wasn’t for me. If you want to make it as a successful influencer, you have to be willing to put in the hours of a full-time job. I just didn’t have the time for that while also working as a hairstylist and being the after-school mommy my girls needed me to be. I’ve kept my blog as well as my social media accounts. I’ve always enjoyed writing a blog and I didn’t want my writing and sharing to come to an end. In the summer of 2020, I decided to solely be a stay at home mom once again. My husband’s business is doing well, and we didn’t need me to work anymore. Now, here we are in almost May of 2021 and we’ve sold our home in our suburb of Tulsa, OK and are soon moving to Austin, Texas! I can’t wait to write all about our experiences that come from this move.

Let’s take a look back to 2020, shall we? It’s an understatement to say that it was quite a year! What a dumpster fire. With the pandemic of Covid-19, the political wars, and the attention being drawn to the injustices that our black brothers and sisters still face today, we had a lot to meditate on. For me, 2020 caused me to dig deep into my heart, mind, and soul and remind myself of what matters most. 2020 made me realize that I have many new thoughts and ideas that have formed in my adult life. Things that I feel prompted to share. In order to share these things with you, I feel I need to share my life story. I want to share my background and how I was raised with you to give you a perspective as to how I landed on certain beliefs. I’ve had to “undo” a lot of my upbringing in recent years and see things with fresh eyes. I’ve had to do some heart work and dig deep to figure out what I believed at my core rather than believing the things I was told to believe.

I am very excited and absolutely terrified to introduce you to a blog series called, “The Undoing”, coming soon. I hope you will join me on this vulnerable journey.
