Life is a magnificent journey filled with countless possibilities. Within our life lies our dreams and aspirations, waiting to be realized. However, merely dreaming is not enough to bring them to fruition. To turn our dreams into reality, we must be intentional about our goals. It takes weaving purpose and determination into every step we take.

Life is a journey filled with twists and turns, and sometimes it presents us with unexpected challenges. As a single mom of two in her thirties, I know this better than anyone else. The responsibilities as a parent are already significant, and now, the decision to start taking birth control may seem like another difficult choice to make. 

Last year during the summertime of 2022, I was in a financial bind while still living with a friend and her family with my two kids. Last year, I paid for a divorce out of pocket with no job, a resume that wasn’t helping me get any work-from-home jobs I applied for, and without a car. I felt helpless. 

As the summer draws close, a wave of excitement and anticipation is weeping through my household.  The new school year is just around the corner, and as a parent of two wonderful kids, I can't help but feel a mix of emotions – from enthusiasm to a touch of nervousness.
