Waiting to Exhale
It feels like I have been holding my breathe for a very long time. A long deep breathe that causes my heart to race, my palms to sweat and my head to spin. I remember when I took that last great gasp of air, it was when my first son, Bryan, was born. I was terrified of becoming a mother. I had no clue how to be one and the thought of being responsible for anyone other than myself was quite daunting. I was terribly young and niave and he was so tiny, barely six pounds. He reminded me of a little frog. He was due on Valentines Day but waited a little longer and came into this world effortlessly on February 18, 1985. I distinctly remember the very moment when my beautiful, perfect son was placed in my arms and I fell deeply, passionately, madly in love. My concerns melted away along with my heart. He took my breathe away.

Men!
Do you ever sit back and think to yourself as a female, how do men survive without females? How the universe made the male gene so...well lets say unbelievably not functional without a female around. I say this because we females know that without a female in a males life, it makes it impossible for them to survive on their own. Think about it, without use around, they would not be able to find anything, think for themselves, do their laundry, cook a nice meal, etc.

Feels like home
There are three of us. THREE. And speaking of 3s I was 33 the year I met my SISTERS for the very first time. This was our first picture taken together. EVER. They are 12 & 15 years older than me, we share the same father , or sperm donor as I like to call him. He was married to Ginna ( my sisters mother) and while pregnant with Ashley the middle sister, my “ father” left a note for Ginna that had Heather age 2 and Ashley in her belly at just 4 months, he said “ he couldn’t handle it” and left. Walked out never looked back. Fast forward some years he meets Tricia, MY MOM, and they marry have me and lo & behold the crackpot does it again! Except this time my mom kicked him out , after letting him come back a few times, she had ENOUGH. Filled for sole custody he of course never contested and that WAS THAT. I always knew I had “ sisters” not just step but actual BLOOD siblings... but I grew up an only child and I never had any kind of relationship with my sisters or my father ... up until March 2020. My father reached out to the three of us, said he had written a book and it was dedicated to “ his girls” convenient we were his girls when he needed to sound like a nice caring man son people would read his literal CRAP book, none the less it went to ALL THREE OF US. And I am the firmest believer that “ everything happens for a reason” cool story about that for another time. Never the less... they both reached out to me, through social media, told me they wanted to know their “ sister” they wanted me to know my NIECES AND NEPHEWS... they loved me . Talk V about throwing someone for a loop... I went from being an only child with no siblings or any nieces or nephews to overnight having two sisters. A brother in law, and FIVE nieces and nephews. There were EIGHT people, eight family members, who knew about me and WANTED to know me! Be a part of my life.

When My Father Left
My parents divorced when I was about two years old. I don't remember much about the ordeal. I do remember that my sister (who is three years older) and I were still very close to my father. He called us his Little Women because we use to always want to watch the movie at his house. We would spend every other weekend with him and sometimes Holidays. I was a daddy's girl.

First Time
This is my first entry on vocal. I find it fitting that I am a person who celebrates my first of most things. After reading through just a few of the amazing post here, I feel my voice may seem a bit different from most. The image above is my first time at Botanical Gardens. It’s amazing how many first we can have in a lifetime. I often say that it is my goal to be appreciated more with repetition. Every experience is better than the last. I am so excited to share some of my simple truths. I hope that my post will be received as a day in the life of who I am today. I have always loved words. In fact, I call words my first true love. Truthfully, it was an arranged marriage orchestrated by my father as a form of punishment that proved to be reward. When I was growing up, I survived a lot of trauma. Most people don’t know unless we actually engage in a conversation where my experiences must be disclosed for understanding to be achieved. My mom used to tell me that I was supposed to be dead three times before I was born. The fact that I am alive, meant I had a purpose. I’m going to try and navigate through this as best I can. I’m so excited and eager to tell the right stories and post them in the right places to enable someone, only God knows who, to read and exhale.

The Month That Changed The World
“Do people really eat bats?” my 8 year old asked me, eyes wide as we all clambered into the car after a day at school. As I tossed the backpacks, kit bags and lunch boxes in the back of the car a discussion broke out between the children. My 11-year-old daughter and two 8-year-old sons seemed to have a plethora of information about this deadly virus that had reportedly originated in China. Half listening, half pondering if I could take another route home to skip the school run traffic, I was admittedly entertained by how they debated the alleged facts they had gathered in the playground. As the volume escalated I decided to diffuse the topic and took it as the perfect opportunity to reinforce my daily begging for them to wash their hands, for which I received 3 almost rehearsed eye rolls and groans. This was at the beginning of February and I must confess current affairs were not at the top of my daily things to keep up with. I was in the process of finalizing a collection for Ramadan and preparing to return to London in a few weeks for surgery. I dismissed the Corona Virus as media frenzy and simply didn’t have the headspace to even attempt to process it. Before I left, family and friends urged me to wear a mask in the airport. I had just read an article, which of course was later found to be false, that masks provide no benefit and I didn’t want to buy into what appeared to me to be simply scaremongering.
