To My Children

There’s so much I want you to know—so much I want to instill in you as you grow into the strong, capable, and wise individuals I know you are meant to be. Life will throw challenges your way, but if you stand firm in who you are, you will never be shaken.

One of the biggest lessons I teach you is to take care of yourself—your mind, your body, your space. Maturity isn’t just about age; it’s about discipline. Keep yourself clean, keep your home in order, and never let your friends or distractions pull you away from who you truly are. Your foundation is everything.

I always tell you, “Don’t let nobody trick you out of your spot,” and “Don’t let nobody sell you no wooden nickels.” In other words, don’t let anyone deceive you, distract you, or lead you away from your purpose. Learn to analyze situations, think for yourself, and act in a way that never compromises your character. I am raising leaders, not followers. And if trouble ever finds you, let it be from a decision you made—not because someone else convinced you to go against your better judgment.

Family and teamwork matter. No one succeeds alone. When you truly understand the power of community—especially the strength of the family you come from—you’ll realize you don’t have to walk this journey alone. Remember, we are a team. We take care of ourselves, each other, and our community. 
Be generous, but never be a fool. 

But above all, I want you to understand this: You were born with something special. A gift. A skill. A mindset that is uniquely yours. That is your key. You don’t have to chase trends or fall for get-rich-quick schemes. Stay true to your blueprint. 
You’ll know you’ve found your purpose when you take a step back from distractions, sit with yourself, and let your spirit do the talking. In those moments, your creativity will flow—through art, music, writing, business, inventions, bartending, juice-making, gardening, cooking. That’s your ticket to wealth. 

Be exactly who you were created to be. Never shrink yourself, never trade authenticity for acceptance, and never forget that you will always need you, so take good care of yourself. 
Always pause, pray, and meditate. That’s when you get closer to your inner self. That’s when you can hear the God in you. That’s when you can be yourself.
Remember, the world needs who you are, authentically, and all of the creativity you have to offer.

With all my love,

Mommy💜💜💜
