First Session

I did a thing today! I’m proud of myself. Today I moved opposite of the stigma attached to therapy within the African American community. I had my first session with an AMAZING therapist and I couldn’t be more excited about what’s to come! For some time now I’ve vocalized the desire, but hadn’t moved on…

3 am Thoughts

My life… Your life… All of our lives are comprised of a multitude of experiences. Each experience lending way for elevation and wisdom as we beautifully and divinely unfold. Appreciate every experience. Find the essentiality in each of them; understanding that everything is happening FOR YOU. There is always a greater plan at play even…

Bubbles

As I relax in a bubble filled bath, I also simultaneously check off a few of the boxes from my JOY LIST I’ve created for myself. What is a joy list you ask?? lol Don’t mind if I do! Well… I decided to make a list of things that I can do for myself that…

Acceptance

This morning my meditation took me to a place of acceptance. More specifically, the significance and value of accepting every moment knowing that it is what it is. That’s right. IT IS WHAT IS IS.

Life Is INDEED Short

We’ve all said it. We’ve all heard it. It seems that these three words have been on steady repeat my entire life but as of LATELY… its meaning has hit me in a way that it never has before. Maybe it’s because I’m getting older. Perhaps it’s because we are passing much younger and at…

Change of Plans

So I’m thinking that my goal of reading 26 books this year may have been a bit ambitious. We are at the last day of the second month and I literally JUST opened the first page to my second book of the year last night! Reading a book from front cover to back every two…

CHOOSE

My best friend texted me a little while ago and told me that she’d been searching for a word for 2021. As she shared her word with me for this year, I began thinking about my own word. After a very brief contemplation, it hit me! CHOOSE. Everything that we could possibly want in life……
