Another year has rolled around and I’m marking half of the gold bar.

Yaaayyyy!

This journey to the silver has seen me grow- slowly but beautifully and though it has been a rollercoaster year, I wouldn’t change any of it; only the parts that didn’t honor God, make Jesus happy and grieved the Holy Spirit.

The past year has given me the opportunity to learn more about the value of people in one’s life; so down this piece are a number of people I’m thankful for.

Numero Uno- Ma mere.

Love unfiltered. Love undiluted. Whenever I’m counting my blessings, I count you 3x. My mother, my father, my friend.

Further down, these are in no particular order. Your words, silence, actions, inactions; pretty much everything in some way or another has helped shape me. Thank you.

FDT

It was your presence and later absence in my life that has taught me to look before leaping. You helped me face something I’d been putting off for so long. It may not have been pleasant but it sure was worth it. Thank you.

MRS. M
Giving people room to operate by being silent when they’re being awfully annoying is a habit I’m learning to perfect from you.

LLQ

Mami has always got something on your status giving me some insight into owning my space and letting that crown sit straight on my head because I’m a queen.

INYOA

You’re always listening to me go on about everything and nothing. And know this, the effort you put into making this friendship work is very much appreciated.

GEE

SugarFreeSugarDaddy! Glad you’re in my space. Thanks for coming into my life the time that you did. I’m constantly learning about creating my own doors where there seem to none from you.

GH

Much as we’ve tried to end up together, it’s been almost impossible to do so. I think we both know why. You’re my sister (and sisters butt heads all the time) and I couldn’t ask for more- well maybe I could. A richer you. We need that vacay, hunny.

JVG

You have created a space that allows confused, hurt and broken individuals to gather, study the Bible, seek God’s face and be there for one another. Thank you so much for giving me the GU-NEB family.

To everyone else, know that at some point, something you said or did; pleasant or otherwise, has had some bearing on my life. And as a strong believer of “people coming into my life for a reason”, I’d like to say a whooping ‘gracias’ for the love and the lessons.

Even though your name may not be on this list, trust that God above will bless each and everyone who in diverse ways have had an impact on my life.

Cheers to living large
