This Christmas


 I just want to take a moment and thank everyone near and far for the love shown to my child this holiday  season. From the School to my family, friends and neighbors I am truly thankful. 


Christmas  has always been a special time to me. My Mother worked so HARD for MONTHS every YEAR in the Post Office to give us a joyous Christmas . As I age I adore her even more because everyone wasn’t “Mothering”


My Father put EVERYTHING together. For EVERYONE. He was the epitome of a Father. He was so GOOD to US. His death wasn’t the true tragedy, me discovering it years later was. He understood though because children often don’t appreciate their parents until they are gone. Not only do I look just like him but I inherited his trait of constantly reinventing myself. I saw my friend walking his kids down these same streets and it touched my heart. Daddy used to take us with him so Mommy could get some REST. He KNEW she was TIRED and he cared! My parents got along SO well because they didn’t CARE. It wasn’t being heartless-it was self preservation. 


They cared about each other though. Through it ALL. 


My Granny was the first person to retire from William-Sonoma (The former Pottery Barn) soooo we had the really “GOOD” stuff. The Gingerbread houses, hot cocoa bombs when Reagan was still president. Poinsettias, monogrammed and customized everything. Just the classiest and elite decor because she immersed herself in her work. 


I inherited from my Nana that is was better to give than receive. I used to be on the Avenue with her in the Summer buying Christmas  gifts  in bulk. Turtlenecks and corduroys, stockings, leg warmers. The candy stockings and the lollipop garland. Candy canes and icecicles. Two Christmas  Trees, the  basement and upstairs full of gifts . A delicious dinner and an open invitation for ALL to fellowship. No matter the person a gift was given and a spirit was offered. 


I don’t know what my future HOLDS. But the foundation I have has prepared me to CATCH whatever comes my WAY. 


Or what FALLS from the SKY. #NothingwillbethesameinaYEAR #Kimhermajesty #Kimmisms

Cocoon

I spent a lot of time alone. For the first time in my life I truly reflected on where I am, where I wanna go and where I have been. I cannot go back and undo anything. There are no do-overs. Just moments that will matter.   I was raised on sitcoms and soap operas. I wrote plays and skits as a child. In my teenage years I rebelled but I was given absolution from my Family and God when both my sons were born a generation apart. The two human beings that I never once thought about not bringing into this world.  I’m living every day on purpose and in my own element. I’m thriving because I’m changing everything I ever was into everything I can be. I had to give myself permission to do this . It changed my life.  I tried to see the good in everyone. It’s not my journey. I can’t care about everyone. Mommy told me that after Chevelle died. She told me my heart was so big. But it can’t carry everyone . It will burst. She said she knows I thought she was a bit cold but it...

I’m Speaking

 My Children’s GROWTH, conquering my FEAR of FLYING, keeping JJ in a wonderful LEARNING environment, traveling the WORLD and HEALING from being ABANDONED by Damn near everyone I HELPED time and time AGAIN! It was too MUCH ALL the TIME yet it taught me that if I put all that effort into me and mines I could create MAGIC.  Don’t nobody LOVE harder than ME. My FAMILY, FRIENDS etc. I’m not EVER going to apologize for THAT. But I KNOW in order to GROW you have to LET go. My life changed when I rewrote my STORY.  I watched my entire hometown be completely rebuilt throughout the sorrow of The Pandemic. Out of the ashes of despair, uncertainty, class, religion and race division, and YES generational disenfranchisement has emerged a budding metropolis for future generations of New Yorkers.   Above ALL losing my Mother on that bright September day six and a half years ago while pregnant with JJ set me on this trajectory. David’s support and foundation yes helped strengthe...
