About Me

I am a 30-something gal, twice married, of African-American descent (literally, Ghanaian-American). I enjoy food, wine, books, music, thinking, and the Lord...

Being (hopefully) about a 3rd through my life, I've been blessed with being placed in a unique family situation- a blended family. I'm a mother of a fabulous 12 year old girl, and a bonus mom to a fantastic 6 year old boy.

Though the result of divorce (a devastating life event that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy), I have learned, and continue to learn so much about myself, mankind, and God himself. There are many combinations that would constitute a blended family, but the path is the same: there are marital struggles, individual struggles, not to mention the struggles with up to 2 or more households outside of your own.

God uses these situations to grow us, in the areas of compassion, passion, empathy, sympathy, forgiveness, humility, and more.

My family is making me better. I hope through my story, you will find that you're being made better as well.

  1. Hi, there! It's Courtney from The Brown Girl with Long Hair...

    While I had visited your blog before, I realized that I hadn't checked out your "About me" page...

    I have to say, this was one of the best ones I had read in a long time, and I really like you more after reading it.

    Continued blessings to you and your family. <3
