Reflections.

I feel like in the past couple of years, God has put me on a journey of self-humbling. When I was younger, I always had these dreams about being unattached to other people and travelling the whole world by myself. I was getting my PhD and things were going really bad in the program right before I found out I was pregnant. For months, I would pray to God, Please ya Allah reveal my purpose to me. Help me. Guide me. Show me what it is that I am supposed to do with my life. And then I found out I was pregnant. And here I birthed this amazing little girl who at 2.5 months tries to sit on her own, isn't beat to be laying down when she's awake and wants to stand up on her own two feet. Her energy reminds me of my own when I was young - head strong, stubborn, trying to do everything at once. She even tries to nurse while staring at something behind her. Through teaching her calm, I am learning it myself. Through raising her, I am raising myself, and learning for the first time in my life what a healthy relationship is between a mother and daughter.
