Sadié Sidney

I tried doing fluffy cornrows

I have been working some heavy postpartum hours and forgot to update my blog by saying I'm meeting my future in-laws in Nigeria! I will try to take alot of pictures and post them here, if I can. I will be enjoying the love of my future in-laws and my engagement, but will try my best to update this blog. This blog is my baby, I can never forget about it. I'm excited but also very very nervous. I'm sad to leave Ore Ofe. I love her so much, she's my baby girl. This engagement has been very exciting and sweet. I love my fiance so much and his mom has become such a big fixture in my life. After Sidney died, I tried my best to be there for my family but I can no longer hold my family together. They have it set in all of their hearts that I deserve cruelty and abuse, so I must move on. I have to be happy somehow. Before Sidney passed, I had no interest in my family. They never cared about me. When Sidney passed, I thought things would be different. I thought my family would lo...

Throughout the whole book, there was only ONE mistake which I'm so proud of! I also made it more affordable to become a paper back. What is left is publishing it in Barnes and Noble marketplace.

I'm going to read it and make some finishing touches before officially going public and applying for awards.

God is making a way ❤

I ordered some copies to do some last touches.

I have been making major changes in my life and after writing the memoir of my life, I saw many things that I didn't like. Things that broke me to write and I decided to make a major decision. I decided to move on. After my twin brother was murdered, my family left me to my own devices. They didn't really care for me. They could never provide the support and love that I truly needed when Sidney passed. I was all alone. Embarrassing to admit, but I took alot from my family after Sidney passed. I took disrespect, disloyalty, dishonor, and just meanness. Just straight meanness. Cruelty. I feel for my brother as we've always felt it was just us two in the world. We always felt like we didn't have anybody else, because we didn't. We didn't have anyone. Nobody cared. The most my family did was ask me for money and bother me about their own personal problems. They never really sought out to make sure I was good after Sidney passed, I was drowning in the world alone. So...

I've been super super busy with my engagement, writing and publishing my second novel, and then single-handedly running my own doula business. Life has been taking a toll on me lol, but I'm still grateful to be here. So grateful. I am now engaged, I have been for a little bit now before I announced this. I am really excited. I've had alot of thoughts about this and many items of preparation are in store for the wedding. We will be getting married in December, which is coming so fast. The year is going by so so fast, we're already in August. Some days my engagement can be emotionally alot for me as I have scars from surviving marriage fraud. My first marriage was so scary. He put his hands on me. He stole my social security number and opened accounts in my name with his mom. He cheated on me the first day we got married. I was living a true nightmare. When I tried to get away, I had to file a restraining order and the state of New Jersey pressed charges against him. In m...

I was busy with clients and couldn't find the time, power, or strength to write. Some updates about my life include I am now officially engaged, which has been really exciting as I grow closer to my fiance. We plan to get married in December, which I'm excited about. I am also planning to move out of the country as well, but I plan to keep an address here in America. My new book/memoir is offically published, but won't be available for sale until a couple of days from now. That memoir took so much out of me which is why I've sadly have been neglecting this blog. I was still working as a doula, taking multiple clients, and then coming home and writing/editing about 10-20 pages a day. I felt delirious at times from all the busy work that surrounded me. BUT, thankfully, the book is done and I plan to organize a photoshoot in memoration of the book along with my debut novel. I looked up the stats from my debut novel and saw that it sold 77 copies, which I feel ok about. I h...
