Thus far, my breastfeeding journey has been filled with many mishaps and learning experiences (sometimes embarrassing ones, really embarrassing ones) along the way but also many real moments of love and empowerment.

Because I understand how draining life’s challenges can be, I tend to refrain from sharing my difficulties with others. I prefer to allow persons to share their burdens with me so that I could help them in some way, however small, to lighten their burdens, even if it is just for a minute.

I am saying this because on the outside, people might think that my husband and I have the perfect relationship, but we really don’t. We have been through some things that have really tested our couple metal. There is so much I could share about our journey and the lessons we learned (and I will in future posts) but here is just a little snippet of our love story.

It sounds so simple yet it was one of the most difficult things for me to do all my life. I would say it took almost all my 32 years of life before I truly believed in myself. Also, it took some of the most challenging times of my life to get me there.

It was the perfect opportunity for a girls’ getaway – I was celebrating my birthday, my husband would be on duty, and it was something I wanted to do for a little while now. So when I saw the Black Friday special on Booking.com, I jumped at the chance to book a two-night stay at the Hyatt Regency in Port of Spain with my girls – Cybil*, my sister and my eight-and-a-half-month-old baby girl.

This made me reminisce about a time management training session I was in a few years ago. The facilitator said something that blew my mind – procrastination can be a result of perfectionism. Say what now?
At that time, procrastination had become a way of life of me. You could even say I had become an um, pro at it 😉

Rewind (or reverse) to 2011. The thought of behind the steering wheel TERRIFIED me. I could barely ride a bicycle properly – heck I trip on absolutely NOTHING sometimes – what on earth could make me want to manoeuvre a piece of metal that weighs about two tonnes (Hmm, is that the normal weight of a car?

We are just six days into 2019 and I thought that I should start the year achieving one of my main goals for the year (resolution bawse!). I am taking a leap and starting my own blog.
