My Extra-ordinary birthday PT ONE

  

  
     I don't know where to start from. I will like to have pictures of my mother when she was pregnant and line up my entire life story but then that will be a story for another blog right?
So here I am at 29 years old. Yes 29 the jury is out because some people think i am much older or have actually argued that there is no way i am just 29, hahaha anyhow thats a story for later, aren't people entitled to their opinions?

     

Thanks to My mother,Mafor Edwan and my dad my love Pa Fon for bringing into this world. A special thanks to my aunt "Ma Pay " who has played a huge role in raising me and is still my number one girl. 

 

     So i decided to take the time off and actually celebrate ME this year for my birthday. I spend a greater part of my year celebrating others and never really get a moment to stop and celebrate me.

     I started the Birthday Celebrations with the best Gift ever from my sister in law and Pastor. We had a blast at the HelpPromoTour concert ( Erica Campbell ) one half of Mary Mary. Now if you know me you know I LOVE them. Thats not all God had in store  for us he also  had my all time favorite Minister,Tasha Cobbs. It  all started when we were moved from the back and  got to sit and praise with the Artist immediatefamily ....

Front row praise is how i want to praiseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Yes Lord!

 

 

  I am more than blessed at 29, I have 3 children,married my best friend, my family is irreplaceable, i have the best set of friends, I am working in my purpose,have great health and a whole lot more. 

 I am definitely thankful to God. All i want this year is to  follow his word for my life. If one person can look at me and say i did it because of you that will be enough for me. 

Let NOMAMIPIKIN BE LEFT BEHIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 kisses :) 

I love my body campaign

I love my body campaign. 

I have come a long way. If i may say so myself.

BEFORE (2013)          &      AFTER  (TODAY)

#ilovemybodycampaign

     Tough collage to put together but i can do that because i am a badass (excuse me but thats the best word for the way i feel) today and i can say that with a bottle of whatever i want to drink in my hand. I have always been a beautiful gorgeous and very stunning bamenda girl.. then i had 3 kids back to back and life happened. Sometimes towards the end of 2013 i refused to fit in a box and was determined to look and feel good in my own skin, and the size i knew how to dress up was not the size i saw in the mirror. I cut out all sodas,started eating healthier and joined a zumba class with the support and love of my best sister Sandra Kemayou and with that I started aiming for my crop shirt. 

    See before kids i had a belly ring and i was the best dancer in the room and trust me thats the truth. i just did not want to keep blaming my beautiful children who mean the world to me for not being able to live a full life, thats why i decided to go back to my pre kids size. You can do it, with dedication and consistency. Also cut out all negativity, you need people who lift you up, yes its great to LOVE your BODY, but if you are not happy and unhealthy then its not self love but laziness.

     My fellow mamipikins please be bold and encourage others. Send in before and after pictures or present pictures with your  story so that we can continue to encourage, empower and support one another in this health and image journey. Lets run a dynamic  " I LOVE MY BODY CAMPAIGN " .

Change and Growth one hour at a time

Hi everybody,
    If you are in the DMV area you can imagine how confused i am about the weather.

Some of us will rather be right here...........

    So i wrote on CHANGE during my morning meditation and i will like to share with my fellow mamipikins... I must share that as mothers we need that quiet time to reflect and grow. I am giving myself a mandatory one hour everyday. Use the time wisely, shut off every distraction and just reflect. It has worked wonders for me. You can start with one hour and use it efficiently.

This mornings thoughts:
 I didn't change, I just grew up.
You cannot do the same things you did last year, last month, or even last week if the results weren't phenomenal.. You must accept and want change to grow.
Waiting for approval from society means you still have a lot of growing to do. Knowing your potential means you will be unstoppable. You want growth, you need to grow in all aspects of life, this is essential, if there is no growth then you are not living at your full potential. Without growth there is no assertiveness, then you find yourself asking for advice and approval from people who are way more damaged than you.
I didn't change, I'm constantly growing and learning, so at this time you may not understand where am going. The good news is; its never to late to open a new page and start all over....
Have a blessed week...


As i wrote about change i realized that change and growth go hand in hand, I also know that in order to grow we must deposit new and positive seeds in our  hearts. Positive seeds of growth and change only come from careful reflection and meditation.

   So the hubby surprised me at work yesterday.. and I LOVED IT...

look at this kid..Whose kid is this?

I know some of you can relate to this kind of havoc.... but you gotta love your kids even in all the chaos they bring. 

 Enjoy your week and remember to give your self that much needed hour, and let not a single mamipikin be left behind.

     I think I almost passed out when my 5 year old son told me earlier this week that he wanted to be a man but did not have chest hair...

 
kisses,
