ALL OF THE GOOD THINGS.
I woke up this morning and tried to start my day a little differently. After having a mini meltdown because of the current state of my skin, I skipped everything on the top of my daily “To do list” and got straight into the bathroom. Did some dermaplaning, used both prescripted and OTC (over the counter) face washes, tried the infamous TikTok ice roller method and then went in with my frozen quartz face roller. To seal in the moisture I used my CeraVe moisturizer and my Vitamin C face serum for brightness. I can’t lie, this made me feel so much better. Ya girl was having a mid-life crisis over here. It’s been so long since my skin has purged the way it has been. I’ll blame the gym for this. That and the bulk eating that I’ve been doing while on my weight gain journey. I’ll definently add getting a facial to my self-care list while on vacation next week.
This time next week, I’ll be waking up to a forehead kiss and a “Good morning beautiful” from mi corazoncito on the lovely island of Jamaica. Me + a man that I’m obsessed with + a beautiful tan + thong bikinis + drunk on the beach + good food. Listen, I needed this like yesterday lol. All of the hustling that I was doing last year is paying off right now, and all of the hustling that I’m doing right now will pay off next year. It’s a repeated cycle. Which is why we have to stay consistent and keep at it. Whatever “It” is for you. My true competitor is me. My objective is me. A lot of people benefited from me playing small most of my life. But come on, we all know that I’m a pretty big deal lol. That chapter is done. Why am I making myself digestible for anyone? I’ve stepped into who I was a long time ago. It’s time that I take up space.
Speaking of taking up space, this girl right here released her recent interview this week with VoyageATL discussing my journey leading up to the launch of The She-Shed. If you haven’t read it yet, I’ll link it here: VoyageATL Interview. I had such an amazing experience taking part in this interview. It really helped me to reflect on where it was that I started and just how far I’ve come with my vision. I am so damn proud of myself. I have so much more in store for my platform and I cannot wait to continue on with sharing my journey with you all.
Overall, I am so grateful these days. I talk to God more than I talk to anyone in my life. Our relationship is so personal and sacred and I love it. I am trusting the timing of my life. My plans may come off as rushed, yet God’s timing is precise. Only the good things. I’ve been asking him lately to show me just how good it can get. I thank him daily for my family, friends, for my health, for giving me the space to evolve gracefully, for giving me the patience to discover myself, for giving me the gift of letting go and for entrusting me with so many responsibilities. Appreciative of it all.
I’m very cautious about who has access to me these days. And please know that this is not out of arrogance, it is out of the need to continue to protect my space and energy as I continue to do the work to elevate myself. This chapter requires me to be a little less accessible. I’m proud of the woman that I’m becoming. My mindset has changed, my priorities have changed, my taste has changed, my tolerance has changed. All in all, I’m evolving and I’m 100% here for it.
Returned back to myself and my heart after a brief hiatus and I am so glad that I’ve found myself again. It feels so damn good. I don’t care how “hard” this healing shit gets for you, do not cheat yourself out of doing the work. You will regret it, trust me. Stop running from yourself and do the work that’s required in order for you to MOVE AHEAD. I promise you, the only person holding you back is yourself. I am big on mental health, breaking generational curses, self-care, healing etc. This is why I built the platform that I did. I’m always here if anyone wants to talk. I am never too busy for one of you guys. You can even schedule a chat with me by clicking the link here: Chat with me !
I told you guys in a previous blog post that my weekly post are created based on the theme of my weekdays, but there really wasn’t a theme this week. This week was full of busy work related shenanigans, trip preparation, and the gym. I had a pretty relaxed week to say the least. I am so ready to hit the beach, eat until my tummy hurts and drink until I cry and throw up. LMAO, you know I love me a good cry + throw up combo. There may not be a post next week because I’ll probably be in paradise trying to give my man a son. HA ! Take me serious please. Please take this advice with you through the week though, breakup with your obsession of putting limits on your life. You are in your own way. The sky is the limit, and honestly, even that isn’t.
