Relationship Reflections

RELATIONSHIP REFLECTIONS
     I don't think I could make it without my 4 babies! They are simply amazing and I am so proud to be called their Mommy! Love, encouragement, and their very diverse personalities have kept me on my toes as well as continued to give me the drive I need to be the best I can be.
     Having 3 daughters has truly tapped into my very core because I strive to be an example to them as to what a woman should be. I adore them and have had the awesome opportunity to see my 24 year old daughter grow into an amazing young lady. She is such a great role model for her little sisters and an inspiration to me. We are both currently working towards our Master's Degree and we keep each other sane throughout the process.
     My son is 21 years old and I must say...totally a unique individual. A rebel to say the least. He keeps me on my knees praying but I love him very much. He is now a father and I must say, my little grandson is simply adorable. Our relationship is very different because we often times don't see eye-to-eye but I have learned to just step back and let Dad handle difficult situations while I just love him unconditionally which in itself is a real challenge because I am a very straightforward person. I am still a work in progress in that area.
     My last 2 daughters are 12 and 10. They are some very special little girls who has been my "sidekicks" since birth. I have been blessed to be with them majority of their early years and we have a very special bond as well as the bond they both share with one another.
     My husband and I have been married for 25 wonderful years!! He is truly my soulmate and my biggest supporter. He has encouraged me to strive for excellence in everything I do. Together we have raised our 4 children and although it has not always been an easy road; together; we can conquer the world!! He is a wonderful provider and an amazing example of a Godly man!
These are the 5 most important people in my life outside of God! I wouldn't trade my life for anything. I have very few friends but the ones that I I have are very near and dear to my heart.
     Having been a Director as well as an owner of a child development center, I understand the importance of cultivating very strong relationships with the people I work with. This means being willing to listen, give constructive criticism and alot of encouragement to employees. I have had to make very tough decisions however, I have gained many wonderful relationships along the way. My family and other wonderful relationships have helped me to be the woman I am today and I am so very thankful for them all.
