A Lot of Things Went Wrong Today

I recently received an email inviting me to a fantastic event in Disney World. When I started blogging, it was always about sharing my lifestyle with like-minded moms and exchanging ideas. I wanted to create events for noir mommies and use my site as a platform for brands to reach black fabulous moms. I get pitched all the time for a variety of things but I don’t jump on all of them because they don’t fit with my vision. So imagine my sadness when the opportunity that did fit came along but I couldn’t go. The 4th Annual Disney Dreamer’s Academy with Steve Harvey and Essence Magazine will take place in Walt Disney World next week, March 3rd-6th-and I can’t go. Why? Long story short, I’m still breastfeeding Kai and this particular event isn’t for children. I could be selfish and give her formula but that wouldn’t be fair to her. It was a hard decision to make but the news I received after made it easier, in a weird way.

On Monday I went into the doctor for a routine follow-up to my abnormal pap. The doctor called and wants to see me to do a biopsy on my cervix. I claim that it’s nothing but in the same breath I am scared shitless. I can’t go to Disney (as beautiful as it is) with this uncertainty on my shoulders.

Disney Dreamers Academy sounds like an extraordinary event. There’s something about giving deserving kids an opportunity and watching them transform right before your eyes that is so inspiring. And what better place for this magic to transpire but at Disney World? I want only the best for our youth so I’m thrilled that there is a cause out there making something great happen.

I hate uncertainty. What will the results of the biopsy be? Was it a bad decision to miss this event? I like to be in control of my life and it’s times like this I’m reminded that I’m not fully in control. Say a small prayer for me folks. Smooches.

    That is a tough decision in terms of breast milk and motherly love or formula and get out of dodge. The choices we make of course determine who we are and you clearly put family first which is muy importante. How could you run to the care and concern of strangers while recklessly abandoning your own. Ok maybe I’m exaggerating but I get it. Not every opportunity is the right opportunity as you said and the right opportunity will have no obstruction in its path. My prayers go up for perfect health for you and the family.

    I’ve had several abnormal paps over the years (along with biopsies and culposcopies) that turned out to be nothing. Perhaps this is your noir cervix just showing off! (Abnormal could be the new normal.) Sending prayers up for your piece of mind and a clean bill of health.
