Falling into freedom: Overcoming Fear and Gaining Confidence on Two Wheels

TELL THE GIRL
Recently I came across a video on Facebook, where a lady brings her children to her mom, saying she's tired of taking care of them and doesn't want them anymore. The situation was chaotic as the lady and her mom were both yelling at each other because the mom refused to accept the children on the grounds that it was wrong of her to do such a thing. the mom further reminded her about how she struggled to train her and her siblings as a single mom and that she was not ready to go through that process again especially for another person's child knowing that their mother is capable of the responsibilities. Despite the mom's efforts to make her daughter take back her children who by the way are no longer toddlers and were standing, helplessly watching as the drama was playing out. I could only imagine the thoughts in their minds seeing and hearing their mom say the things she was saying all because of them. Apparently, their mom is also a single mom and wanted to do away with them just because she met a younger lover who just wants to travel around the world and enjoy life with her and for her, the only thing standing in her way is the children she has to take care of and so she came up with the idea of dumping them for her mother for as long as it takes.

“This new dimension of wealth feels fantastic.” I take a deep breath, let the spell take root and lock in with the full, harvest moon. The frequency of these words vibrate from a layer beneath my skin out into the magical serenity of the night. As soon as the incantation leaves my lips, I know that across all realms, I will forever stand in prosperity. “The power of life and death resides in the tongue” is much more than a cliche adage for the women in my family.

It takes a village
"It takes a village." This well-known African proverb encapsulates a profound truth about parenting and family life. It suggests that raising children and nurturing a family is a collective effort, involving not only parents but an extended network of family, friends, and the community at large. In a world that often emphasizes self-sufficiency and individualism, this ancient wisdom reminds us of the importance of interdependence and support in the journey of family life.

MOTHERHOOD BIRTHS A PURPOSEFUL LIFE
Growing up as a girl child, I never for once imagined how it would be to be a Mother I watched how my parents tried to give us the best they could and how they were willing to sacrifice their comfort for our sake. I saw my mom struggle to take of us even when she was sick and could barely do much and I still couldn't understand anything all I knew was that they were responsible for us and doing what they could to live up to their responsibilities but then again I asked my If She is really happy playing that role.
