Born February 22, 1989 in El Paso, Texas. Only child of Albert and Leticia Dickson. My father was previously married so I do have a half sister and her name is Ashley Dickson. Growing up the only child was very boring and always responsible for allot of things around the house. My parents have taught me allot growing up and I am very thankful and very grateful for the way they raised me, because I wouldn’t be the woman I am today. I love my parents very much they are always there for me when I need them the most. I would like to say thank you for everything you have done.
In 1998 we moved to Phoenix, Arizona. It was a big changer for me because most of my family still live in Texas. When we moved to Arizona I hated the heat and making new friends. I missed my old home, my old friends, my family the most. Over time I did overcome the fear of making new friends and the overwhelming heat. I didn’t complain much about new friends, but I did move to different schools almost every school year. Throughout my school age years I have went to eight different schools. Every time I moved I had to get to know the school and the kids I went to school with all over again. I can admit that it was a challenge but I pulled through. My senior year of high school I went to Marcos de Niza and graduated in 2007. During that year I met my husband Tyrone Coleman. As my mom would say he was only suppose to be my prom date. What a crazy, yet exciting year that was.
After about a year Tyrone and I had developed a romantic relationship and we found out that we were pregnant with our first daughter April 1, 2008. What a crazy day to find out your pregnant with your first baby at nineteen year old. We were excited and happy about it. We told our parents but some were happier than others, they learned to manage and love our little blessing. As time went on before my oldest daughter Annalya turned one, we then found out we were having another baby and it was a girl. Our second daughter Tiseana she is amazing just as much as her older sister. Having two kids eighteen months apart was hard for a new mommy to handle. WOW! Two years later here comes baby number three Mariyah what a bundle of joy. Yes! Now we have three girls and I’m pulling out my hair by now. I can admit that I did want a boy. Over time while Mariyah grew up she I was consider my tomboy because she loves to do what boys do.
On July 4, 2013 my husband and I FINALLY got married. After three kids and six years later it became real. We were officially a FAMILY! As three years pass along and here we are with the new of baby number four. My husband and I weren’t ready for another baby at the time. Financially, emotionally, physically, and mentally not ready for a fourth child. Even though it was very tough through that year we all became stronger as a family and our SaMiya helped us through those tough times with all the joy, laughter, and love she had given each one of us.
Now that it has been a year later from my fourth child being born I decided to create a blog of my deep and emotional journey of marriage, family, work, and owing a business. The steps I took and how each day was a mental process. Read with me as I tell you about my journey through my everyday life. Hope you come back and if you ever need someone to talk to email me. Everyone needs a hand, a shoulder, or someone to talk to.
