Evolving

At some point in every person's life, something happens and you start to evaluate the person you are and the life you are living. Some people choose to learn, grow, and change. Others choose to always be the victim of circumstance. I refuse to be the latter. I have always thought of myself as a person who has both feet on the ground and a good head on my shoulders. I have goals for my life and now those goals also include a happy, prosperous, and stable future for Isabella. I can honestly say that the road I am traveling today, is not what I thought it would be. But I will change my plans and rise up from my situation. I have faith that my God has a much better plan for me than I could have ever had for myself. My hopes are that, one day, Isabella will look back at the life I have lived and be proud of the mother, woman, and person I have become.

I am taking my current situation and I am going to learn, grow, and change. I am going to evolve because that is what I believe people should do as they grow up. Evolving is not a drastic change over night, but a gradual change over time. It is developing into something better than you are now. This is what I am doing and I am doing it one day at time. But, regardless of any adversity that appears from time to time in my life, I am and always have been very blessed. I have my God, my health, good friends, and a wonderful, supportive family. Best of all, I have a precious little girl to give all my love and devotion to.

So, Isabella, my love, it is just the two of us, growing, learning, and maturing together through this wonderful life. And I ask God to help me be a good mom, to be everything you always need.

Love, Mama.
