As I sit and reflect this Thanksgiving morning, I am so thankful for so much to include those hatin' bammas that tried to take me down....
Ok now that I got that out..... I am so blessed and thankful for so so much. This time last year I was 100lbs heavier and now I am thankful for a much healthier and fulfilling life. I am thankful for my job as I have the opportunity to really touch lives and effect some positive change to all residents and visitors of the District of Columbia. I am proud and thankful to work for an administration that believes in accountability and to have a team (TeamDPR) who will not rest until the job is done. Toni, my boss, really understand the role of a mentor and leader! 🙌🏾
I am so thankful for my family. Lord knows we have been through a lot this year but love and support are our pillars and keeps us grounded. My mom, sister, brother, nephews, nieces, cousins, aunts and uncles really have no idea how much just knowing they are there, and are proud of me keeps me going all day.
I am so very thankful for my friendships. I really have some ride or die people in my corner. Julia, Dru, Shinar, Chelsea, Lonna, Cornell, Vanessa, April, Blue, Joncier, Kim and William have all been exceptional models of friends for the longest (ain't nobody messin' with my.....)
Finally I am increditabily greatful and thankful for my wonderful boyfriend. Just when I thought there was no hope in finding my match, God casually placed this amazing person in my path. Little did I know that we shared the same values, moral compass, and truly fell in love with each other. I have never felt so connected, attracted too, and support by a partner in my life. Our future excites me and I hope that everyone gets to feel like this one day. His family has welcomed me with opened arms and we all know that's a big hurdle to get over. Mannnnnn.....we cleared that with no problem! 😜
Well it's time to go finish cooking my meal, have dinner with the family then head to the fire house for my 12 hour overnight shift. I'm actually ok with that. People call 911 on possibility the worst day of their life and my job is to protect life and property by any means necessary. On Thanksgiving I am proud and honored to answer that call. Be safe y'all. Love you all!
