Too Blessed To Be Stressed!

Sometimes you just have to reflect on the wonderful people that surround you and fill your life with purpose and meaning.  They give you inspiration, advice, and words of wisdom to empower you.  Some can just tell it like it is, and they don’t sugar coat a thing so that you know “the truth” about thangs.  I just have to say thank God for my circle of family, friends and fans.  It’s really a blessing to know when people are “your” people.  They don’t spend time draining you with negativity.  Instead, they uplift you and you do the same for them, whether it’s demonstrated through a thoughtful gesture, word, song, or just a knowing that “they have your back.”

You may have read over the past few days that I have been exhausted trying to do all the things that I want to do in my life, be a good mommy and wife, work well, and sing like the performer I was born to be.  I had hit a wall because my baby had not been sleeping through the night.  I reached out to family and friends who gave me advice as to what to do.  Well, I’ve gotta say that last night I used a combination of techniques to get Ms. Thang to sleep.  Whatever I did worked, and my hubby and I finally got a good nights sleep, which had been lacking almost ever since she was born.  Man, I feel like a new person.  Sleep deprivation can really reek havoc on your overall wellbeing and your social life.  I’m going to work the same technique this evening too.  Wish me luck.

I actually had time to do my hair this morning as well a put on a little make-up…little pleasures you take for granted before having kids.

Do you have “your peeps” that have your back?
