What I have Learned About Myself... My life has had ups and downs, but I have learned to enjoy my life. I have always wanted kids. I know why God sent me my kids. To enjoy the little things. A simple flower can brighten your day. I have learned to set goals. I have always been a person to enjoy the ride. I am still that way but now I am looking for someone else’s happiness and that makes me happy. I push my limits and pack so much in one day. I am used to giving so much I don’t know how to take, like I feel guilty to accepting a compliment. I am opening up to being gifted and accepting gifts from other people. There’s nothing better than creating happiness for another person. Something not a lot of people know about me... I come from a Large family of 12, five sister + six brothers and all their names start with K for the girls and R for the Boys... Mine well “ M for miracle. When I was born the umbilical cord was tied in a knot around my neck and so my mom prayed and said if I live she would name me after Jesus’s Mother Mary.. Thecuffchic has 11 letters and each letter represents on of my siblings. My Dad always made sure our family was together during the holidays, he couldn’t stress enough how important these times were.thats what family was all about, time spent together making memories and catching up. This brought him the most Joy!! The importance of that reflects in my own family now. My inspiration... 1: God: I was raised Catholic. I have always been a faithful person but my husband wasn’t . So I can tell you that he and I started going to church together and we would elaborate on what was said, and focus on that in our marriage. When you wake up with Jesus in your heart, everything will fall into place. I pray, ask for help, and it’s there. 2: My hubby is the calm to my crazy... He keeps me grounded and always reminds me to live for today!! 3: My sister: She is 10 years older than me. She lives life on purpose. She has a grateful heart 4: My dad: Every aspect of his life he lived with joy. He gave me everything I need to go out on my own and raise my own family 16 My advice ... Give hope to someone else and go for it, don’t wait for the perfect time because you will be waiting forever. 17
