I'm officially 25 years old and I'm very happy. I'm happy because I know that it is only by the grace of God that I am still here today. Of course, there's going to be someone whose reading this blog post thinking, "There she goes with all this Holy Ghost praise and worship talk."

Okay, allow for me to really take a moment to truly thank God for making it to my mid-twenties. It has always been God’s favor upon my life. 



In honor of my 25th birthday which is tomorrow. I wanted to do this special dedication blog post. I have been blogging on this site since 2016. I never thought about giving myself credit for all the many mile stones I have crossed in life. Allow for me to share with you the 24 things that I have learned in 24 years before turning 25 years old. Let's get it!



When I began breastfeeding two and a half months ago, I had no idea how much I would learn about my body and my baby. I spent hours online reading and watching videos from different mothers and their journey and experiences with breastfeeding. 

I was beyond nervous and excited all at the same time to really get into the swing of breastfeeding once I gave birth to my baby. However, I learned quickly how demanding breastfeeding can truly be. 




Yes, my marriage did change after having a baby. My husband, Bruce and I were married for three years before we even became pregnant. We were together for six years when we started our family. We did not rush into starting a family and neither one of us had our lives truly together. 


Just three days ago, YouTube announced their new monetization policy. If you would like to read up on that policy click here. Okay, YouTube basically was open in the pass to allow any and everyone to become a YouTube Partner and join the YouTube Partner Program once they had the satisfied requirements. During this time the requirement was just 10,000-lifetime views for any channel. 

I found myself just undergoing depression early last year. I felt like at 24 years old I was not accomplishing as much as I planned to set out to do. I was comparing my journey through life to different women. 

Evolving Involves Eliminating

It sure did not take a rocket scientist to see that last year was preparing me for something so much greater. Within my personal life, I took hella L's at my job as bank teller.





I was thinking of a way to start this blog post. Replaying my unspoken words in my mind repeatedly this morning. I laid in bed besides my sleeping baby and prayed to God to start my morning. Before 2018 even arrived, I have been praying to God for mental clarity. 

Every night I have very vivid dreams and I mainly use a dream journal to keep track of my dreams (if I can remember) first thing every morning. 

My First New Years As A Mom

in , , by Linda B Hurd, January 02, 2018


I didn't bring in the new year watching beautiful fireworks explode in the brisk night sky. I didn't bring in the New Year watching the ball drop in New York with millions of other eager watchers. I didn't bring in the New Year popping fireworks in 20 degrees southeast Louisiana coldness.
