Thankful

November 26, 2015

Happy Thanksgiving!

Before I dive into the great food we are eating today or hit up any of the Black Friday sales, I want to share.

The entire week due to Thanksgiving Day, the question has continuously been asked, “what are you thankful for?” Honestly, you would miss all of your Thanksgiving festivities if I shared everything that I am thankful for. I can truthfully say that God has blessed me with so much, not just with things but with wisdom and people (including most of you).

Daughter and son of Maui Bigelow of PHAT Girl Fresh

Aside from the obvious being life, I am most thankful for my children. I thank God daily for blessing me with two amazing children. I feel so honored  to wear the title of mother and I do not take it lightly at all. Everyday, I ask God to guide me in order to assure that I give my children what every parent should give their children; roots to grow and wings to soar.

While today is Thanksgiving, it is extra special because on this day 13 years ago; God blessed me with a beautiful baby girl. Yes!!! Today is my mini me Daja’s birthday. She is officially a teenager and while I have great anxiety about her growing up, I look forward to it.

Daja, Daughter of Maui Bigelow of PHAT Girl Fresh Motherhood  opened my eyes to a lot and I have amazing connections with both my children; however having Daja as my daughter rocks my world. She is so strong and bold, she flaunts so many of my characteristics. The great thing about Daja is that I see in her now what it took me many years to become.

It is my belief that as women, we are responsible for the uplift of our sisters (women) and daughters (girls). It warms my heart to encourage and empower women but to share these moments with my own daughter is amazing. I say share because it has not just been me feeding her soul, she has fed mine too. I have been down and this young soul has encouraged me with words you would expect from a seasoned woman.

Maui of PHAT Girl Fresh and daughter Daja! So to make what could be the longest post ever short… Help me wish my daughter Daja? a Happy Glow Day and pray that her light never dims.

And to you and your family, I wish you peace and blessings.

This is not a post about fashion. This is a friendly reminder that the way you style your life determines how successful you are and the influence you offer the world. How you style your life connects you to your purpose and living your purpose draws you closer to God. Your style can’t be mimicked or  matched; it is a muscle only you can flex.

This is God’s doing! I still remember vividly th This is God’s doing! I still remember vividly the way I felt when I found out I was pregnant with my son. I remember the day I planned to abort him. I damn near remember every moment that I have shared with him over the last 23 years and every moment I had with God on his behalf. As we prepare for yet another amazing moment, I am grateful. 

Grateful that God loved me enough to bless me with this joyful black boy. Grateful that he was patient as I grew from girl to woman while being his mother. Grateful that he inspired me to push past every roadblock placed in my path. 

@youknowitszaydoe, I am so proud of you and I love you far beyond any words, actions, or material items, black man. I once called you sun because you shined like one but truthfully you out shine the sun, son. i pray that you receive and cherish every good and perfect thing God has for you. I pray you continue to pursue your purpose with passion. Most of all I pray that and abundance of love and light surround you and that despite life challenges you never cower in the face of adversity.
