Day #17 - Someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why

{Day 17 Someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why}

I guess if I had to choose someone to switch lives with someone for one day it would have to be Miss Oprah!

Many don't care for her too much, but I think that many more LOVE her. I am one of those. Not to mention she is one of the most wealthiest in the world, but I would love to have access to her monies for a day! I would love to see how it feels to give money to those in need. Donating to my community, giving children what they need to function in schools, fund school programs to help kids stay out the streets. I would love to rub elbows with some of her favorite people, Michelle Obama, Obama, Tom Cruise, Maya Angelou, Rachel Ray, Dr. Phil to name a few.

Day 13 - A letter to someone who has hurt you recently

{Day 13 A letter to someone who has hurt you recently}


OK.
I have been on a small hiatus for this challenge and I am going to do my best to catch up today, by posting multiple challenges. One reason I have gotten off track is becuase I took a quick trip to Ensenada on a Girls Get Away cruise. Second reason I have not been on here to post could be because I was avoiding this challenge. I guess its time to do it and move on!

Here, we go...

A letter to my past.

I have been challenged to write a letter to someone who has hurt me recently. Becuase of the pain that I have experienced the past 2 years, I have built this huge wall which has help assisted on blocking any future hurts and pains. I have not had anyone hurt me as bad as you have. Of course, if someone asked you, you may sit and say the same thing which is to be expected.

I have attempted to make peace with you in many ways, but I think due to the bitterness and the twisted feelings that we have for one another another it is difficult to find peace and be at peace with what has occured. Even though I am a better woman today than I was 2 years ago, I still hurt at night knowing that half of my life was on unsteady ground, built on quicksand. Granted, there were many good times and most def had our share of bad times. There was a point in time where the bad begin to outweigh the good. We were young when we got married, and as we know it now, I think it is safe to say we both were comfortable and no one was ready or had the guts to make the first step to say, it can't go on like this.

I keep erasing what is really on my mind, because I do have to keep in mind that this is a public forum and as I should not really care what you may think about what I have to say, you are still human and Gods child.

We both know what went down so because this letter is to YOU, you already know whats up. HOWEVER, the best part that has come out of this is my beautiful daughter, and I would not trade her for the world..not at all! Another great thing that has come out of this all is the fact that I have been able to take a look back and realize where I failed as a wife, what I could had done better to save my marriage. I can proudly say that I can admit to myself that I acknowledge my faults. Whether or not you want to believe it or not, I do accept what I lacked. You know that when we married we married young...didn't really know what being married was all about. Who did we really have in our corner to talk about marriage to?

Because of all this that has occured, I am a better woman and will most deifnately become a better wife to the next man. Because please trust, I am wifey material.. =) One thing that lacked in our marriage was our love for God. God was NOT in our marriage where he should had been, we both lacked faith, and without that, we were doomed from the gate.

Only time and prayer is a healer of all wounds. Only time and prayer. God has my back and as long as you are on the right track with him my friend, he will have yours.

I have fallin...but will get back up!! My bad!

I apologize....I was away cruisin the Pacific Ocean with 10 other amazing sistas...I will resume with my challenge this evening...Sorry!

(sorry for the smaller size pics...)









Ever since my little Bre Bre has came into my life, my life has drastically changed!
She is the reason that I wake up! Because of her I have continued to push harder and harder each day. I live for her, she is my strength! Being a parent is a blessing and has allowed me to look things through a deeper source.

Heavenly Father I THANK YOU for allowing me to be a mother! You have taught me so much, so many lessons and she is such a blessing to my life.

Day #6 - Favorite super hero and why

{Day 06 Favorite super hero and why}

Stumbled across this poem "SuperHero" thought it was pretty cool and thought I would share with ya!

"If I could be a superhero
I would be... Awesome {wo}Man
I’d fly around the world fighting crime
According to my awesome plan
And if I saw criminals trying to lie
Hurting other people and making them cry
I'd haul them off to jail in my awesome van
'Cause I would be Awesome {wo}Man"
— Stephen Lynch, "Superhero


The challenge was to post a pic of my favorite superhero...well if I'm not too much of a comic strip fan or into superheros. My ultimate superhero would be the almighty father himself! However, if I had to choose one, I would choose my favorite childhood here, which was WonderWoman!

I have got to ask my mom to dig the pic of me and my WonderWoman outfit on when I was kid. Well, let me stop lyin, it wasn't really even an outfit, but more like under-roos! I will find it and post it...it will make you giggle, I still giggle today. I remember having my patent leather shoes on.....on the wrong feet! Good times.

{Day 05 A picture of somewhere you’ve been to}

This past summer I visited a few islands that I had never been to. One of them in particular that was a favorite was St. Lucia. It was very pretty and green, would love to go back! I am blessed to have been able to bring my baby girl along with me as well. She had a blast with every island we visited while on the cruise.

Day #4 - A habit that you wish you didn't have

{Day 04 A habit that you wish you didn't have}

This wasn't too hard to answer....
Okay...confession time I guess. Okay, well I have a horrible habit of patting my head to itch my scalp...ok, ok, BEAT my head. Only those that do it, will be able to relate. It is almost equivalent to a vigorous scalp scrub at the shop...feels SOOOO good!!!

I can recall a scrapbook retreat I was at and I tried to do this very softly, as softly as possible and my other sistahs who didn't have weaves thought they were gonna have to call 9-1-1!
They started busting up and just didn't quite know what to think..., talkin about, "Trish are you ok!?"

I am trying to not do it as much because Bre seems to think she has to do it now...and I think she does it to copy me instead of a necessity...lol.

So there you have it...I beat my scalp....

Day #2 - The Meaning Behind Your Blogger Name

{Day 02 The meaning behind your Blogger name}

Supahwoman - Well it is WHUT it is....exactly that. I am a supahwoman! I am many things! Many people! and wear MANY HATS! Since the fall of my marriage, I quickly saw how challenging it was to be a superwoman! HOWEVER, I have gladly put on my cape, my crime fighting boots and by headband and I am ready!

I thought of Supahwoman because there are many times where all I had was ME. If I want somethin done, I gotta get it done, regardless of how it gets done or what I gotta do, it has to get done. Only a supahwoman can juggle 100 things at once and still claim her sanity. Alot of friends of mine tell me to slow down and proceed to tell me I am doin too much...but is there such thing when you are Supahwoman!? Nope...so I continue to wear my cape and wear it proud!

I GOT THE "S" ON MY CHEST!
