Happy birthday to me! I turned 38 last week and I

Happy birthday to me!

I turned 38 last week and I spent the weekend celebrating with the people I love. It’s my first time celebrating since COVID + becoming somebody’s mama. Needless to say, it was time to celebrate me!!!!!

There are a lot of things they prepare you for when having a kid, the lack of sleep, breastfeeding, defiant toddlers, a non-existent social life, etc. But one thing I don’t think we talk about enough is how everything about WHO you are changes.

In the midst of changing your priorities to take care of another human, moms go through a period of not even knowing who tf we are anymore. For the past 2 years I’ve been trying to figure out simple things like what kind of clothes I like now, purses, perfume, hair styles, shoes? Who is mama DeeDee when Cairo isn’t around? What does she like to do? Who does she want to do it with? 🤔

I’ve also had Saturn in my 1st house the past 3 years rebranding me into a badder bitch inside and out 😂 but I know I can’t be the only one that goes through this. Lol

It’s definitely been a journey, but I’ve never been one to back down from a challenge or hard work. I have Saturn on my side and he’s gonna make sure I get it right even if he takes the Joe Jackson approach. 😩😂

This whole experience has helped me to cultivate a new life that is full of love, patience and compassion. You know… the good stuff! ✨🤍

Safe relationships with emotionally mature people + a happy kid have been my rewards. ❤️

I love it here and it’s only going to get better! 😆

Cheers to 38 🥂 and many more!

Shout out to @itsjaebaebayy for the pics! Thank you so much for capturing these moments! 🫶🏾

I’m so grateful to have a friend that has grown with me through the various versions of me.
Friendships like this are rare. And not everyone is fortunate enough to have a friend like you. Thank you for all of your support during my transition into motherhood. I feel like it’s only made us closer. #boymoms cheers to 40 years and cheers to 40 more! I love you deep! #happybirthday

May 25th is a real one’s birthday! 🥳

Since mars just went into Aries yesterday, it’s giving ‘fuck you’ to everything that has tried to break me. 🖕🏾🖕🏾😂

For my 37th trip around the sun, I’m looking forward to being more childish than ever. Loving harder than I’ve let myself in a long time. Growing my investments. Saying yes to adventures. Pampering my mf self. And anything else that makes my soul happy! ♥️

Happy 50th birthday to one of me and Cairo’s fav

Happy 50th birthday to one of me and Cairo’s favorite people. He actually didn’t wanna talk to me the other day til he heard her in the background 🙄

Tomika was the cousin that saw me going down the wrong path when I was a teenager and took me under a wing. I been stuck up every since! 😂

Thank you for everything you’ve taught me about life and cheers to 50 more celebrations of life!

It’s crazy to think 10years have passed. I associate Scoob’s death with the beginning of my spiritual journey. It was the straw that broke the camels back at the time. It shattered me into a million pieces and the journey to putting myself back together has been the greatest gift a friend could ever give.

I’ve used what I learned from this season in my life over and over again, overcoming shit that should have taken me out. I am grateful I got to experience Curtis in this lifetime because his life changed mine and I can only hope I’ll have the same impact on the people I love when my time comes. I love you #ForeverScoob #Petty4L

Virgo season always makes me think about you. The OG Virgo of my life. I remember you used to listen to me talk about astrology and all the different spiritual shit I was experimenting with. You had no idea wtf I was talmbout. But you always listened anyway. Lol

It’s wild that you’re not here to meet Cairo. I call him Baked Bean sometimes when he reminds me of you. He has that thing on his ear like we do that we used to always complain about. Lol I love it on him though.

I was thinking about the night we had on Beale Street after this pic was taken 23 years ago. 🤦🏾‍♀️ We got away with underage drinking and a list of other WILD shit I won’t go into cause yo kids and dad follow me. 😂

Jodeci “Stay” came on the radio on my way home tonight. Now I gotta go listen to all our faves for your bday tomorrow. #Tupac #Jodeci #Aaliyah #DruHill #JaggedEdge #AdinaHoward (we had NO business listening to this 😂) #AnythingByCashMoney

Tomorrow will be a good day. ❤️

Anyway.

Thank you for everything

In life and death ❤️🖤

Happy Birthday Candice!! 🥳

That’s my baby and I’m gone stick beside him ❤️

Cancer season 2021… I noticed awhile back that

Cancer season 2021…

I noticed awhile back that I could “feel” when the energy shifts from season to season, astrologically. Every season has a theme and a lesson to go along with it. This cancer season dealt with all things MAMA for me.

I took an inner child healing meditation class with @dr.grant_ that of course brought up some trauma from my childhood. After this class I talked to my mom and she randomly brought up the same event and told me more of the story. It was a piece of information that shifted the narrative from my mom being a victim to being a bad mutha (shut yo mouf). And somehow that’s all it took to release it.

I came from that! 💪🏾

Cairo came from that! 💪🏾💪🏾

These are our ancestral roots. Hello cancer keywords.! 😆

Parents, talk to your grown kids like adults so they can release trauma and free their inner child! ❤️

The following week I had an Akashic meditation class, again with @dr.grant_ 🤗and my message was to stay grounded so I could “hear” my body. That’s gonna go over a few heads but anyway… FOLLOW Dr. Grant SHE’S THE TRUTH + my ancestors adore her!

This week I got a birth chart reading from an astrologer I look up to @thelabcoatastrologer. He’s been telling me since January that I’ve got diamonds to share and I should be writing a book. I can’t make no promises about a book, but I can start by writing about these seasons. Book him for a chart reading!!

Next up LEO season! This is one of my favesss! 😆🥳🥂🍾♌️

Today is my baby’s 1st solar return and my 1st Birth Day. I wanted to write a cute little post about the beautiful ways motherhood has changed me, but that’s gonna have to wait cause I’ve been emo all day and I’m tired! 😩😂

But I will say this, Deep Gratitude to my village. Seeing you love on my baby and being able to depend on you heals me in ways you could never know! ❤️

Happy 1st Solar Return Cairo! I love you endlessly!
