 in Family & Friends / Love & Relationships / YouTube by

“Hi, I’m Flower!” The wait is finally over. Meet my Flower, everybody. Harper just turned 6 weeks on Wednesday and I am so glad to finally introduce her to you all. As you can see from the picture, she is very full of life! I wonder where she gets that from! Harper at 6 Weeks: Loves bathtime. Loves to smile. Loves to eat. Loves The Isley Brothers. Loves being read to. Loves being held. Can yell. Can play. Can communicate using facial expressions. Can recognize voices. Dislikes car rides. Dislikes bright light. Dislikes when mommy is working at the computer. I shared […]

My Flower has finally blossomed. My little girl is finally here. She turned a week old Wednesday and it’s truly been the most exciting, exhausting, meaningful week of my life. It is miraculous how much having a baby changes your life. At the time I could only speak on how much your life changes when you find out you’re pregnant, but now I know that isn’t even comparable to how your life changes when your little blessing finally arrives. I am so excited about sharing our journey with you.. So, let’s get into it! Continue reading →

A Love Letter For My Darling Daughter 3

 in Family & Friends / Love & Relationships by

I want to share something personal with you today. Is that alright?  As I patiently await the arrival of my daughter, I found it relevant to share my first love letter to her along with some pictures from my maternity shoot under the creative direction of Photographer Ayanna Fairbanks (who I will be interviewing soon!). Every time I see these pictures; every time I read this letter… I cry. I have never felt so fulfilled in my entire life. I hope that you can share those same sentiments with me as I welcome you into this very personal, life-altering chapter of […]

“I F*cked Up..”: How to Apologize When You (Really) Messed Up

DueDate

On Friday’s you can expect new GoddessColumnTV videos and I thought what better way to start the first episode of the new year than to celebrate a very momentous occasion in my life. Today is a very exciting day for me as I am happy to reach my 38th week of pregnancy and I can truly start to prepare myself for giving birth. There were many people who requested that I documented my pregnancy more after I wrote “Dear Mommy, I’m Not A Mistake”, but it was very important for me to give myself enough valuable time to accept and grow with my pregnancy. I’m finally at a place where I can share a little bit more about how it now that I”m just two weeks before giving birth! Continue reading →
