Because of them I am. At soon to be 38 years of age I can honestly say that I am a VERY blessed woman. The women in my life are simply amazing and push me to soar higher then I ever imagined I could go. It wasn’t until recently that I discovered that the sky was not my limit, yes you read right, the sky is not my limit. I am limitless, my talent is limitless, my goals grow more vast, my reach is ever changing, my desires to “Reach One Teach One” grows stronger, and there is no limit to what I can accomplish. I have seen the impossible accomplished and the unthinkable slayed.
My mother is thee epitome of strength, and yes I know there are so many other children that feel this way about their mothers as well, AND they should. For many of us our mothers are our cheerleaders, voices of reason and the reason we have been able to strive and soar. For me, my mother is the reason that I am able to stand tall when the world attempts to cut me down. My mother even when she didn’t have it to give, found a way to make ALL things possible for me to achieve the goal at hand. It has always been her dream that I achieve far more than she did, and so each day I rise with the mentality that I Am A Woman destined for greatness, because I am the daughter of Ruth Jackson-Ward.
And just as I am the daughter of Ruth Jackson-Ward, my mother is the daughter of Ruthie Mae Jackson, and it has been my grandmothers love, guidance and wisdom that has been passed down from her to my mother and on to me. Over the last 95 years my grandmother survived and overcome what many would have succumbed to. My mother is one of 12 and I am one of over 90 grand & great grand children. My grandmothers dedication to her children and grandchildren is like no other. She has taught me how to love hard and live life to the fullest. Over a decade ago at 84 years old she survived open heart surgery and bounced back stronger than ever. And in her early 90’s she was diagnosed with breast cancer and has beat that as well. With each year that God blesses me to celebrate yet another birthday with her I am truly honored that God chose her to be my grandmother.
