For the Love of Blogs

I think the last time we posted we said we were working on some things and left y'all hanging.....sorry! I bet you are all doing well, still blogging and I'm definitely interested in hearing from you. With so many working mama's, from home to side hustles, I decided that I would make coffee addict mama somewhat similar to FTLOB! If you're free to come check it out, comment and say HI! I'd love to pick up from where we left off. XOXO

the moment you walk away from everything and life feels collided. my journey back to new york wasn't an easy one. i'd spent many days in tears wondering where i had been, where i was headed. why i was there and if i'd stay there forever. after a couple of months sobbing in sorrow, i'd realized that that wasn't who i was or who i'd wanna be. the saying you have to get knocked down to get back up again is in it's truths. when you crumble, you certainly feel faded. i got up. eventually. it took time. who the hell in their right mind considers time? because i sure didn't. and little did i know that it'd pass before my weary eyes. the only thing i've ever really lived for was proof. proving to myself that i could do anything and be something of worth. even if i didn't want it. i always felt the need to prove things to everyone and why is well, because if we don't as humans, then we feel no purpose. i took my slagging ass and built up e...

remember me!? this is crazy and almost too surreal because as most of you know, when we moved our community over to IB4M, I thought we lost FTLOB for good and I know it's been years but who said we can't pick up where we left off?! I've been lost over the years as a blogger and as a single mom. Yes.....I've been a single mom for a little over 3 years now. It's nuts! And I can't tell you how important it is to feel alive in a world where you feel so little! That's why I worked hard to gain this community back. Because wordpress didn't like us very well, I decided to bring back blogger where we first began! Most of our posts and links are still in tact, whew! I have a lot of work to do though and I promise that I will have this site up and running in a few. I noticed many of you fell off the blogger planet and the fact that a lot of us did makes me sad. I don't know what happened to me but I can totally relate as to why so many of you no longer have ...

Hi! I'm Vic. I began sharing my life on blogger back in 09'. We had just moved far from family and networking seemed to be the best outlet for me. It became my best friend if you will. I discovered more about myself. I began to realize who I wanted to be and what I wanted to share. My personal blog changed a lot over the years. The more you blog, the more you grow! I struggled fitting into communities. A lot seemed fake, like a whole lot of non-sense. My mission wasn't to go follow everyone just to get a follow, it was to connect with real people on a real level. I soon realized that it wasn't the place to share my space on the web and wanted to build something for every blogger to connect. Not just moms, not just 20 somethings but everyone! FTLOB was born out of a teeny idea. I wasn't sure how I was going to go into this, rather just went with the flow and before I knew it, bloggers were connecting, sharing same thoughts here and it felt great! I could share my o...
