”This year i began my journey as a single mum with no direction…

i was afraid, sometimes depressed, confused, i always had a lot of anxiety

I felt like a failure, a loser, i felt i wasn’t good enough, i felt little, i didn’t really know how to fit in or even start,

…… how was i even going to pull through,?

I never thought of me making it in life, i just wanted my kids to be fine, that was my ultimate goal….

All i knew to do was to love my kids immensely and give them all of me & that inspired me to keep moving..

Today i look back & all I want to say is thank you Lord.

It’s never to late to start all over again…… it will be tough but you will be fine ..

There is always light @ the end of the tunnel”
