Thinking back on 2016 like

2017

I won’t usually set resolutions for her new year. Besides empty blanket promises to get healthy or treat myself better, I rarely change my life. I am the same.

This past year, I had decided I wasn’t going to stop until I was doing work that I love. In the process I had my family so broke that we lost a lot of things that we thought were important to us, including our home. But God. We turned it around. I found the job that was destined for me and built a family from the group of diamonds I create with, I got my family back on our feet barely and while we’re still struggling, I thought of something recently when I made the biggest bonus of my life.

I think about when I was young and who I wanted to be. I remember telling my sister that I was going to be a “power dyke” who dressed to kill every single day. I worked really hard and made a lot of money and lived in a loft with floor to ceiling windows. I lived with a graceful brown skinned woman who tip toed barefoot on the hardwood in an oversized shirt painting or writing poetry. I owned my own business and I had my own schedule and I left the country once a year.

That is what 2017 is going to be for me. I know there is change that can happen that will usher me into a life of freedom financially, emotionally and spiritually. I am prepared to work hard for it. I look back on times in my life when I was sleeping in cars and on couches and see now that I’m married with a home and a job that I love. I see how much closer and farther I am from the goals I had as a young girl feigning for a day when I can say I made it the way I wanted to make it. With my wife ready for a career change, I am determined to make enough to stand for her the way she stood for me. 2017 will be the year to do it.

Honestly I’m tired of being broke. I’m tired of struggling. And the hard work I performed this last year has shown me a glimmer of light that I won’t be down very much longer.

I must win. So I will
