    • ⚡️15 minutes huh? That’s the cap? Nah, no dice. I’m taking at least 26,280,000 because 50 years is a legacy. That’s what I’m focused on creating legacy. something for my girls to be proud of. I don’t want to be a blip in the pan. No used to be’s or once was because I plan to stay top of mind. So each day I work. I focus. I grind so that I make my minutes count. even if I’m tired or afraid or don’t know where to begin - I do it anyway. because I didn’t get this far letting no’s dictate the yes that’s mine to have. are you movement or a moment? It’s time to decide. . . . #TheHautemommie #strongblacklead #friyay ⚡️
    • ⚡️laughter really is the best medicine. I’ve laughed my way through plenty - heartbreak, death, labor. Not because they were funny or because they didn’t hurt. Truth be told laughs have been the thing that kept me. Laughing when there is nothing else to do but resign myself to life, in the moments that would have preferred I cried. Crying can help. It can be the release you need. But sometimes the best thing to do is to reach down into the deepest parts of our belly’s and let out a laugh that boils over. One that gives you the tears your pain is asking for. Nothing is worth your peace. Nothing is worth losing your laugh over. No matter what - I refuse to let anything steal my joy. . . . #TheHautemommie #blackgirljoy #discoverunder20K ⚡️

    • ⚡️there are a few lessons that having kids has taught me: - fear doesn’t have to root if we don’t let it. - things happen, but it’s your reaction that determines how long it matters. - be quick to forgive. Even though technically I’m the boss, everyday my girls teach me how to navigate the world. I watch while they laugh without regard, how they dance when the mood strikes, and how it doesn’t matter who sees. Then I wonder as I look on, from my front row seat, when do we start to let the background dictate our show? As adults we refine, mute, and curb who we are to fit in. We silence our dreams, we shrink ourselves. The best part of being a kid is not giving a damn who watches you twirl. And I’m bringing that back. Are you down? . . . #TheHautemommie #TheHauteMinies #ltkfamily #motherhood ⚡️
    • ⚡️it’s said that marriage is hard. It’s horrible. It steals away who you are and who you want to be. I can’t say I agree. The hardest part about marriage is choosing someone else. The scariest part is choosing right. Here’s the thing though, true love ebbs and flows. At times it’s romantically frantic. Others it’s a gentle stream flowing effortlessly. Sometimes it’s stormy. But true love is always present. Likability is the real key. Do you like who you love? Do you like who you are when you’re with the person you love? I didn’t grow up with a marriage on view for me to emulate but I did know what I wanted. I knew how I wanted to feel. I was fearful going in but now I know, I chose well. . . . #TheHautemommie #TheAntonoffsAreOn #marriage #mcm ⚡️
    • ⚡️behind every smile is a journey paved by tears. We only want to acknowledge the grins though. I remember when it was hard for me to smile. When I physically struggled because I was suffering through stress induced migraines and a feeling of defeat so severe, my body felt like it was dragging lead. I get so happy looking at this picture thinking of those times. Thinking on the moments when I thought, when will better come? When will the wait for tomorrow become the day I’ve been praying for? Someone asked me the other day if I planned this life? If planned on being a self-made woman. The answer is yes I always wanted to have control over my life, to make decisions based on what I felt was best, and ultimately leave my mark on the world. But no, I did not plan on experiencing under & unemployment, not having insurance, or having to choose between lunch or gas. But guess what? I made it. I’m here. Smiling. And not because I didn’t go through anything but because I’m proof that difficult beginnings don’t have to mean insufferable middles or dreadful ends. If life is in limbo for you right now, if trying to see through the clouds is testing your patience; know this - You ARE cut out for this. You CAN tell life that you don’t have to take its shit. And NOTHING is going to keep you from your win. 🥇🏆 . . . #TheHautemommie #overcome #empowerment 📸: @eltonandersonjr ⚡️
