Jalila “Mama Lila” Simmons

♥ Inspirational Storyteller and Creative Arts Teacher promoting health and happiness for yourself and your family.

I'm on my own journey through life and I love picking up nuggets of wisdom, art, music, good eats, inspiration, and love along the way.  With each new person I meet, new experience I create, I learn about myself; my strengths, my challenges, my likes, my dislikes... ME!  And I'm forever evolving.

But I can't do it alone.  Its why I'm here on HubPages.  I get to read about other people's experiences, dreams, learn how to do new things, and connect with like (and not-so like) minded people who are all on their own journey.  Its a great community of writers, humanitarians, musicians, entrepreneurs, parents... folks to share with, laugh with and even collaborate with.

You can check out some of my work as I push along expressing and sharing my thoughts and lessons.  

fivetwentyeight was once an attempt to write a memoir.  Its based on a true story though, I'm not clear on all the memories.  But most of it is pretty factual.

Happy Birthings are shorts about each pregancy and delivery I've had.  I love sharing these stories because its my belief that women simply should.  Take all of the mystism and fear out of it for those mommas who haven't gotten there yet.  And create bonding experiences for mothers out there who had similar or nothing-like-that experiences.  I encourage mothers to share with me or others, even if you adopted children.  There's a unique story for everyone about the first day you met your child.

Finally, I love sharing the lessons I've learned (and still learning) about raising a family, specifically a blended family in Crash Course to becoming a Blended Family.

Please drop by anytime and leave me your thoughts, insight or a pleasant hello.

You can also catch my meanderings around the city at Red Room Umbrella.

Til then....

Live Passionately, Trust Wisely, Love Deeply.
