Seeds!

with the spring came the cool breeze of children...

2009 has been the year of new additions to my circle of friends

the miracle of childbirth has never meant so much to me
as I welcome new arrivals to the planet!

With so much drama in the economy I see what folks did with those long nights in; saving money.

1. SG. her son nearly cost her her life after some postpartum complications - reminds me that even with fibroids and one ovary God decides when and where life happens. She is a true rebel for peace and patience and is well deserving of her new son, biggups to St.P, you two make a great couple!

2.KB - after a long celebrated courtship with a fellow Hamptonian KB, up and marries this other gorgeous chica he met through his mother...Lady MB is the proud wife and mother of one of my best friends and I am ecstatic for this couple to have gotten married BEFORE starting their family! As "old school" kids, I wanna be like KB when I grow up! But, really mad props to folks who tie the knot!

3.CHG - another TWO points for CHG! She too made it official prior to her "bump" project! I had the honor of speaking poetically at her wedding ceremony. With open arms I welcome her new daughter CDG!!! (Keep me in your prayers C, I'm on the cusp of PT school!)

4.ABC - now you know I have to celebrate Copper tones and the blessing of life that comes from unexpected bundles of joy. A friend of mine whom I once dated...I decided to be a true friend when she dropped the bomb on me about her being 'with child.'

5.Tony - my best friend's baby is on the way... I always hoped we would be thirty, single, and childless... he beat me to the child part and is very happy with his new lady Chevy... a true love child in the works, Tony wasn't expecting to meet his baby's momma when he did, but being aggressive has its benefits! The same time he was getting all wrapped up in a new connection he started his parenting phase of life more quickly than I expected. Alas, its just begun!

With all these children I may not need any of my own... ha ha ha! No, I'm just doing me like I know how... career first, ladyfriend/wife second, daddy hat third...

whatever is in God's plan for me, I'm rockin with it!

Doing Me

If you know anything about me, you'll know helping others comes naturally... I must take a moment to share the incredible fruits of my efforts.

Direct: My SAT tutor client improved her score by a few hundred points and got into her #1 school Xavier in New Orleans! I am so proud of "Smuckers!" I also want to thank the "Academy" and the folks at Barnes & Noble for letting me run my tutoring business in their space.

Indirect: My best friend Tony is getting some SERIOUS vibes from a sista w/ twists... I told him about "soul sistas," and now he is VERY happy getting to know "Chevy" from Cali! I dig them both and to see my boi happy and scared, nervous and excited makes me remember so much!

I will continue to support both my folks to the end and new beginnings!

Best to my friends,

Delano :c)
