Thankful for my reality

     As a mother of 4 by birth, wife, sister,  event planner (I had some folk assuming that i was no longer running my business as an event planner/Designer anymore, I am definitely still CEO of AEPDS) putting together any event can be challenging considering the fact that you cannot decide to ditch your job as  a parent or leave your job as planner and your responsibilities as wife at some point to focus on the details that are needed to put together a pressure filled event. Yes pressure!!! Tons of it. You don't know if anyone will show up, you don't know if it will snow, you constantly have to remind your team not to force anyone to register, you are almost having to explain to everyone you meet your "WHY" because we are writing a brand new blueprint, you are paying for everything upfront way before the event.
  Yes even with all this, I have a mandate. My dream is to provide every community in the USA and beyond a safe space to have life changing conversations. A space where women and mothers can share and address their closet issues in a judgement free zone.
   Thank you to every woman who has taken a moment to read my blog, read my posts, defended this movement, prayed for us, watched the live videos, hired me as a planner or decorator and recently registered and attended our Mamipikintalks events. Thank you for the support. Thank you to my selfless TEAM! Thank you  to my family. Thank you to my husband who is my biggest fan. Thank you to those who never believed in my authenticity as well, you gave me that invisible push to keep going.
  On Saturday 03/11/17 my life changed forever. If you can commit to making a difference in your life, you are contributing to making a change to your community. Commit and follow through.

We are ready to come to your neighborhood. Contact us Today.
May God bless you all.

Its YOUR life

Good morning.
I had this as my status on Facebook. Then I remembered the importance of sharing so it reaches everyone.

   We live in a community or society where no one wants you to walk in your truth because it brings light to their flaws. Your truth is YOUR truth. Our society/community wants you to die in silence and misery and they term it "privacy". There is a huge difference between privacy and walking in your truth. If its a little out of the norm, our community immediately shuns it. If it doesn't have a blueprint, several degrees and a doctorate our community questions it. If it involves some level of faith, our community questions it. Privacy is what happens to you that doesn't concern anyone else.  Its SACRED. When you go through life and choose to share your journey so that someone else doesn't suffer your pain, you are walking in your truth. I am never intimidated or worried about people who can't accept my truth and neither should you. Don't worry about people who cant live with their truth. What you conceal for fear of being accepted will kill you faster than the people who gossip for a season and move on to the next gossip topic.

   Ladies and gentlemen, we do not live in this world forever. You are here for a quick second and then you are gone. We play a good game about how great our lives are going on social media and once the lights go out we sleep but don't rest. How long will you continue to live in fear? What is so powerful in living in someone else's truth rather than yours? You are different and so what? You are not mainstream and so what?
Live on Purpose.
What do you stand for? Are you just going to keep nagging on the sidelines? What are you doing to bring about change in your life and the lives of the people in your community?

    Don't let anyone deter you from walking your purpose today. Live a purpose driven, Christ centered life unapologetically. Its YOUR life.

See you all at
MAMIPIKINTALKS III (Rockville, MD)
Remain blessed.
Eurykah.

The Lords report will always come to pass. Happy 2nd Birthday my SON

  Today is a little emotional for me. On January 21st, 2015 I had my fourth baby. He turns 2 today. He is my second boy and the love of my life. He is my Grandpa, Brother In-law and my son. He is the best decision. He loves his dad like mad. He also loves his sister Leilen who is my niece and his twin. He is a firecracker, a very intelligent and anointed 2 year old. Today I will love to share a little personal story.

 
     When I was pregnant with Abo, I was diagnosed with Polyhydramnios. (polyhydramnion, hydramnios, polyhydramnios) A a medical condition describing an excess of amniotic fluid in the amniotic sac: Read more:http://www.healthofchildren.com/knowledge/Polyhydramnios.html#ixzz4WPRxMVV8. This was very scary for me because of all the"presumed" side effects.
I also constantly felt  like I was literally in labor from about 4 months in pregnancy.  I was in a lot of pain and pressure and completely exhausted all the time. This was a very tough challenge for me because I had gone through most of my previous pregnancies seamlessly. And there is a myth that basically tells you that the more kids you have the easier the pregnancy... NOT TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    At one particular doctors visit something very interesting happened. I was seeing a specialist and my OBGYN Concurrently. At a particular visit, one of the specialists in a beautiful Ghanaian accent  looked at me and said  "I will like to know how you are at your fourth pregnancy with a history of PCOS" (Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a health problem that affects one in 10 women of childbearing age.Women with PCOS have a hormonal imbalance and metabolism problems that may affect their overall health and appearance. PCOS is also a common and treatable cause of infertility). I was a little confused because I had totally forgotten about a very old diagnosis of PCOS from about 9 years before. We talked about the fact that my husband and I are absolutely blessed by the Lord and that I never thought about it from the day we left some doctors office in Baltimore 9 years before. I also shared that I didn't depend on "google doctors" diagnosis and symptoms at that time and that's what probably carried me through. Today the "google doctors" will have you dead and buried with their analysis of your health symptoms.

   I am meeting more and more women who are are dealing with PCOS and its many side effects. PCOS is a very common diagnosis. I want to encourage you to believe the report of the Lord over your life. The Lords report will always manifest. The Doctors must do their job but your diagnosis is in the hands of the Lord. And he took all diagnosis with him to the cross on Calvary. In the same light we must be sensitive to one another. You can't assume that everyone must deal with the crisis in their lives the same way you do. Take it easy on each other. Don't be quick to judge. Ultimately its a personal decision on how to handle the sometimes very difficult diagnosis. Your only job is to support, Love, and be a shoulder to lean on. You are welcome to share medical knowledge but do not get carried away. I have seen first hand the miracle of conception by Gods grace and favor.

  Anyhow with that said, I had a very hectic pregnancy with Abo. It was the pregnancy of all pregnancies. My family will tell you. I was in no mood for any sort of games, jokes and more. I was pregnant along with my youngest sister and my sister in-law. We had to support each other but most especially they supported me a whole lot because my hormones were a horrible. This pregnancy taught me resilience, patience, and gave me the opportunity to trust GOD SOLELY. There is a blessing in every storm, you cant see it as you go through the storm but i can almost guarantee that as soon as it calms down you certainly will. I learned to take off the cape and let God be in control totally.

Blessings 

 As I write this post a lot of words come to mind and the most common word is privacy. And because I am a mind reader (hahaha I have always wanted to say that) and know some folk who can't handle real life testimonials. If you have been following this blog for a while you will understand that I  am absolutely pro privacy. However there is privacy and there are secrets. I will always share especially if its going to bless another woman. I share my personal journey of motherhood, entrepreneurial life as a mother, and anything in between as long as it gives room for conversation, healing, empowerment and addresses issues that are plaguing women in the world and most especially in my community. With that said, a lot of people assume that keeping secrets is the same as privacy. You can choose to live a life full of secrets and I will choose to keep my privacy.  I am not going to let our society dictate what should be discussed, shared, and brought to the light and so should you. A lot of your secrets are killing you slowly because you have chosen to die with these "experiences" that complete your story. So we tell half truths and cannot save even our own selves from the many things that haunt us.
Tell your true story today, you might save another woman. And the woman might be YOU. And if you choose not to, remember that every now and then you depend on someone else's journey to relate to. What is your story? How did you get here? What are you dealing with? How can your story/testimony make a difference?

  Today Abo is 2 years old. Whose report will you believe? I am thankful to God for blessing us with Abo. I am thankful to my family for being a wonderful team. I thank Abos grandma "Aunty B" who is the most important part of my in home system. 2 years ago, I walked into the hospital a solid 220 pounds or so and today we have a healthy 2 year old.
GLORY TO GOD!!!!!!!!!!!

Today 

Let No Mamipikin Be Left Behind.
Its a new day and the old diagnosis cannot hold you captive.
