What’s the secret to 25 years? Good cake helps!! Thanks for all the well wishes on our anniversary.❤️
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. Learning everyday to love like this ❤️ Happy Silver David x
I love you Caleb. I know yesterday was basically your first day, but today it’s definitely official. You are a drama school student and you have left home and you are forging new and amazing paths for your life. I couldn’t be more proud to be your mama and of the man you have become. There will be lots more to learn about being a man now that you’re here in London and so far away from home, but I trust God with your life and know you will continue to make excellent and challenging choices to cause you to grow in maturity. My heart is bursting with the same love I felt the first moment I held you. Well done, Caleb, for always being yourself and giving others the permission to do the same. HAVE THE BEST DAY 🥳

This is a NO SHAME post. I got super dressed up last night to celebrate my oldest son’s birthday coming up this week. I told him to get off work early so we could take him out for dinner and have a really fun time out together. I found a rooftop bar that allows you to bring your own food so we could sit and listen to the music, enjoy the ambience and all the people while sipping drinks and eat delicious food. Shoulda realized that a rooftop bar that allows you to bring your own food isn’t going to be that special. I don’t get out much. See second slide for the rooftop 😂 I have ADHD. I miss details, my thoughts often don’t add up when I speak them out loud but in my head they make PERFECT SENSE!! I go full speed ahead on harebrained ideas that I never finish and all of these things produce unholy amounts of shame. All ADHDers can relate. Shame is probably the main feeling running around our heads most of the time. BUT last night we laughed (after a short moment of disappointment). We laughed. David came up with another plan and I took a deep breath and thought of the fun story this will be for Caleb when we tell him. I disallowed the shame to take over and had an excellent time. I can quote all the scriptures and know all the things, but when you’re in the middle of shame and condemnation it takes an army of strength to remember you’re still loved and you’re not actually stupid! 🥳 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I am the first recipient of the Mama Award*. This gorgeous prize was given to me by me for being an amazing mother 😂 Listen, if you can’t appreciate the incredible amount of work you’re doing and how far you’ve come then you need to actually stand still for a minute and think this through. You are doing it mama, day in, day out, 24/7, 365/6 days a year!!! You love so deeply and care so much. Don’t let the mom guilt drag you down and make sure you kick your feet up now that the kids are back at school. Be kind to yourself, because you’re doing an awful lot. Don’t forget your dreams, don’t forget to ask for help when you need it and make sure you have some friends who love you well and don’t drain the life out of you. Your kids can be a nightmare sometimes but Lord are they a blessing. Well done. You’re amazing. Buy yourself a Mama Award. *the mama award is something I made up because it made me laugh that the peace sign is also how midwives check how dilated your cervix is during labor so I bought it to remember how weird and wonderful life is ✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️ tag a mama who needs this today xxx

To Asher, Caleb and Penuel, My son, forget not the ocean as you hunt around its shore For all the bits of buried treasure for you the sea does store. In the beauty of the tiny there is so much joy to have, But the crashing of the rolling waves must be acknowledged, my lad. For we think we have it figured, we think we know it all, But just one look back out to sea and we see our treasures are small. Don’t be like those of Plato who live chained up in dens. They thought because they saw great shadows, they had become great men. Don’t be the ones enlightened who reached the mountaintop Only to be blinded by the glow of enlightenment all puffed up. Be strong in your desire to serve your fellow man To take the greatness you’ve achieved and give it to the least of them. Be true to your true mission in which art your heart believes. Know that in all your doing you must not be deceived, For wealth and fame are passing and beauty fades away, But in the giving of your artistry you have become what is great. Be contented in your temper, work with happiness and calm As when the strain of age befalls your nature will be your balm. Just because you blink sometimes, it doesn’t make you blind And just because you read a book, you don’t understand mankind. Be humble in your wisdom as there’s always more to know, Or wisdom becomes a clanging bell, just the cawing of the crow. My son, do not forget the ocean as you paddle at its shore. We’re just beginning to get our feet wet, soon we’ll get soaked to the core. Love, Mum x For my lovely boys (and for Zoe after she was born). This is the poem that inspired the song in the last post! This takes me back to when I was their mum and their teacher and their guide and their world. I wanted to do such a good job and failed every single day. Thank God kids love their parents the way they do, because my kids have learned a lot of good things from @davidoyelowo and I and forgiven us for (most of) the bad 😅 Teach your children by modeling love and grace to them, without shame or blame and watch them grow into stunning adults who make this world amazing 🤩
