Welcome World
I am Wilnia, servant of the Highest, wife to Romane, mom to Gregory and Emilie, a sister, an aunt, a cousin, a friend and an educator. Born on the beautiful island of Hispaniola which consist of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Raised in Linden, NJ, currently residing in the Atlanta area. So many has come up to me and asked how do I manage it all. Lots of caffeine, I tend to answer. I can’t explain it, it’s just God! When God does so much for you, you want to give back because you realize that he will supply all of your needs. For some time now I have felt…

I don’t want to be insensitive to his needs but the fact that he is one that doesn’t speak much. His “red flags” are not as loud as the children. I do know that someday…

Do as I say, not as I do!
What type of role model are you as a parent? Greg, you are too loud! Greg, slow down! (Am I too loud? Am I too anxious? Am I teaching him how to have a calm spirit?) Emmie you can’t wear that? Emmie that outfit is not appropriate for where you are going? Emmie, you shouldn’t change who you are so that others can like you. (Am I leaving the house inappropriately dressed. Am I making decisions based on what others think of me.) Children do what they see you do, whether it is positive or negative. If they grow up noticing that you don’t read, they won’t read. If they…
