A Week of Emotions

---

As I lie in bed, surrounded by the warmth and comfort of my blankets, I'm struggling to shake off the fatigue that's settled in. Despite not feeling well, my heart is full of joy and gratitude. This week has been a whirlwind of emotions, but the good kind.

I'm excited to visit my son this afternoon, and I can already imagine the sound of his laughter and the warmth of his hug. This week has been a testament to resilience, especially for Keke, who started the week on shaky ground but ended it on a high note. Andri's determination to improve her grades has paid off, and I couldn't be prouder of her focus and perseverance. The way she attacks her books, with a fierce dedication, inspires me daily.

But the highlight of my week has been watching Mia prepare for her first day of school on Monday. Her bright smile illuminates the room as she excitedly picks out her outfits and carefully holding her bookbag. Yet, amidst the excitement, a pang of sadness creeps in. D'Koda won't get to experience this milestone, but Mia's enthusiasm is a balm to my soul.

In moments like these, I'm reminded that Mia carries D'Koda's spirit within her. Her laughter echoes the memories we shared with her sibling, and I feel grateful to witness this beautiful fusion. My motto, "If one wins, we all win," resonates deeply. I've been praying nonstop for favor and blessings upon my children.

As I transition into full-time writing, the exhaustion is real, but the fulfillment is worth it. I'm exactly where I'm meant to be.

For now, I'm off to brainstorm a new story, fueled by the love and inspiration surrounding me. Stay tuned for updates, and thank you for joining me on this journey.
