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…

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. Anyone dare to argue? Lol Once you’ve arrived at any given moment in your life… once you’re standing (or sitting)…

Draft

I just sat down to write an entry and began looking through my drafts. You know the ones you start but for whatever reason, you don’t finish. This draft was dated August 3, 2021. Today I PUBLISH. Today <— That would have been the title. Today I cried. Today I reflected. Today I found gratitude….

First off, can we talk about how fast this year went by? It feels like I was JUST sitting in this same spot typing Dear 2018 & Hello 2019! About a couple of weeks ago, a guy inside of Publix told me that as you get older, time seemingly moves much faster. I didn’t put much…

Peace

Baby Steps

So, it’s been a minute! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve sat in front of my MacBook and began drafting a post. At some point, I’d either become distracted and lose focus in one way or another or I simply found myself stuck in thought. No matter the cause, it always leads to…

Protect Your Space

Would you stand by and allow an intruder to walk into your home and so boldly take your belongings? Take the things that you hold so dear to your heart? I’m going to take a gander at your answer and go with a, “no.” or more like a, “hell no!” In considering the above question AND…
