What I am Thankful For.

 As I take a moment to breathe, reflect, and look around at everything unfolding in my life, I am overwhelmed with gratitude. This season reminds me to slow down and truly appreciate the blessings that surround me every single day. Life is not always perfect, but even in the moments of chaos and challenges, I find myself grateful for the path I am on and the strength that keeps me moving forward. Today, I want to honor those blessings and acknowledge everything I am truly thankful for.

I am thankful for the ability to take care of my children, not just in the basic ways but in the meaningful everyday moments. Being present for them, guiding them, supporting their dreams, and shaping them into strong and loving human beings is a privilege I do not take lightly. My children are my greatest motivation and knowing that I can provide for them and walk with them through every stage of their journey fills my heart with purpose.

One of the biggest milestones this year has been publishing our very first children’s book. It still feels unreal to say it out loud. Becoming an author with my kids by my side is something I will cherish forever. It represents teamwork, commitment, and the courage to chase a dream together. I am even more grateful knowing this is only the beginning, with many more books and creative projects to come. Having the inspiration and determination to continue writing fuels me in a way I can’t fully describe.

I am also thankful for the blessing of being able to take care of our home. Creating a safe, loving environment for my children means everything. It is where memories are made, laughter echoes, and love grows. It is where my kids are learning responsibility, discipline, and kindness. Keeping them on the right path is not always easy, but being present to guide them is one of the greatest gifts I have.

I am extremely grateful for the ability to stay home and attend everything my kids have going on, from school events to after school activities. Being present for their achievements, their excitement, and even their struggles is something many parents wish they could do. I do not take that opportunity for granted.

I am thankful for the motivation and the time I found within myself to begin writing on my blog again. Reconnecting with my passion for storytelling and reflection has brought me peace, direction, and renewed creativity. It feels good to pour into something that also pours back into me.

I am grateful for the energy and determination to get back into running, participating in 5K runs, and choosing to work out for my health. Taking care of my body and mind is an act of self love that I am proud of, and I am thankful for the discipline to keep going.

Most of all, I am thankful for growth, for blessings seen and unseen, and for the journey that continues to unfold beautifully.

I will continue to pray to God that he continues to bless my little family.
