I’m sitting here tonight reminding myself what I am grateful for. Where I started 2 & 1/2 years ago when I decided to choose myself and my children. You will see old photos, and you will see new photos. I am always grateful for my children and feel so blessed to have all 4 of them. I thank God for each one of them. You will see new photos of me and one’s with my daughters that are new. I was so excited for them to see my work! Get a tour of the knife factory! Company social where Jess did some rock climbing!! This was my 1st visit with them after not seeing them for a year!!! I had spent 4 months planning their visit I was so excited to give them their new knives, I had them lasered with their names on one side of the knife (blade) and a design of their nickname on the other side of their knife(Jessi’s knife I actually built 😆) , a complete tour of the factory floor, hotel with swimming and hot tub. I got the hotel room all decorated for them before they got here. Company social the next day! We had a blast!!! So good to feel good!! 😊 to actually feel sufficient within myself, by myself… 🦋💕🦋 by starting over I pray 🙏 that my girls and my son at the end of the day will see a strong 💪 mother.. My grandmother is part of these pictures because she is also a huge part of who I am today!! Mentally she reminds me from heaven to be strong 💪 and to be honest. And to love God!! She also said to me years ago “ Melanie, if you don’t take care of Melanie, than who is going to take care of Melanie?” The day I started my new life that statement really settled into the pit of my stomach. The last picture of me I feel states that everything that I have let said about me that was said I didn’t defend myself because I don’t defend myself to people who just don’t matter… I matter, my children matter, my grand children matter and my sister heather matters and that’s it. I have plenty to be grateful for! Plenty 🙏!!
