Things Selah enjoys at 15 months... when you scare her, puppies, banging things together, and of course, being cheeky. She also enjoys sneaking things off the counter since she is almost 3ft tall. Halp.

Repost @blklivesmatter . Cyntoia Brown (29 years old now) was 16 years old when she was imprisoned for killing a 43 year old man in self defense.

Last week, someone told me they used to listen to @dolewite101 when they were in high school + it sparked this convo about how I think it’s funny when grown people tell me they’ve listened to my husband since high school/college/etc or they met him when he came out to speak at their school... I’m like how is that possible!!! - It’s possible bc we are not as young as I think we are 😒 AND he’s been on air with @1011thebeatnashville for 17 years, today! 17 years!!! We are old. And! @dolewite101 is extremely good at what he does + he loves this city with his whole heart. Thanks for loving him back Nashville💚
Sharing Stevie Nicks with my daughter, like my mother shared with me. - Now that I’m a mother, the way my heart is set up... it’s just different. It’s hard to explain. It’s so vulnerable to pain. - I find it hard to watch movies + read books where mothers are experiencing heartache that surrounds her child. It hits so close to my own fears. A couple months ago, I was watching something about The Great Famine + I couldn’t stop crying for the mothers who watched their children die or died trying to save their children... a show about the potato famine broke me all the way down y’all... - I thought about my mother, her story + all she endured, for me to have this life. How her choices, lessons learned, heartache + trauma shaped me... How her mother’s shaped her, and how their healing or lack of became generational + packed into how we love, how we heal, how we relate to one another. And mostly, this is all done subconsciously bc we don’t stop to ask our mother’s stories + they are too busy being mothers to share it. - I watched the Joy Luck Club today + I. Was. Not. Ready. It broke me all the way down to a full out ugly cry😩. But, it made me grateful that I know my mother’s story + her mother’s + her mother’s. I encourage you to find out your mother’s story, and your grandmother’s, and her mother’s... it’s important. It’s how you became you. And then, I encourage you to find ways to consciously share your story with your daughter(s). Its important... And if you find your story hard to tell, make sure you are finding ways to heal bc whether you tell it or not, it‘s still the beginning of their story. xok
No selfie w/o Sellie❤️ - Y’all... between her + Walli, I’m gonna end up on Snapped or heavily medicated. She has fought every nap this week + Walli just ate her lunch off the counter while it was cooling🤬 - I was gonna get cute + treat myself to a nice lunch for mom time, but instead I’m gonna drink, get my tree together before one of y’all says something reckless👀 + watch episodes of Greys with Yang... send up a prayer for ya girl🙏🏽

The Layered Living Planner by @herspaceco is back!! And, it’s as beautiful, thoughtful + intentional as it was last year. The #LLP2019 is not your typical planner + truly needs to be seen to appreciate how special it is.
