Tell The
Truth was one of my favorite tracks from the Empire 2015 season by Jussie
Smollett inspired this blog post. I wanted to dig deep into me and share
another part of my life story with you. Here is a photo of me when I was four
years old and Lord, may I say that every time I look at this photo I break down
into tears.
There's a
saying that has stuck to me and it goes, “If you stay ready then you never have
to get ready.” Yes, it resonates very deeply with the story and message that I
am about to give to you today.
I have
been going through the motions of the sudden difficulties of life. Days were
both my husband and I are struggling to make ends meet. Ramen noodles, oatmeal,
red beans and rice, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches have been on rotation
for the past few weeks in are apartment. Uplifting smiles from our baby boy
have been keeping us hopeful. It's been tough living pay check to pay check. We
have more bills than money right now, but we still smiling.
