PRETTY THOUGHTS
I must say, as I sit Indian style on this pretty pricey lounger, sipping cold bottled water from my fancy wine glass while serene, soft music serenades from the speaker of my Macbook, I’m feeling like “I made it.” LOL. If you’ve been here for a little while now, you know that ya girl is heavy on the visual storytelling. I need you guys to feel as if you’re living these moments with me. I appreciate you all for rocking with me. Now that this week’s intro is out the way, let’s talk. First off, I do not appreciate how a few of my loyal weekly readers pressed me last week about missing the weekly blog post LMAO. Ya’ll are crazy as hell. Listen, my body told me that she was tired and I listened. Rest is what sis wanted, and rest is what she got. But look, we’re here now so let’s get to it.
So what has been up with Elle Cee? Hmmm, let me think. For one, ya girl has exceeded all of her expectations for the first quarter. I clearly did not come to play with myself or anyone for that matter. I faced my fears three times this week so it’s really over for that anxiety shit. I say this time and time again but I am so damn proud of myself. The woman that I was this time last year had no damn clue how resilient, amazing, happy, healed and strong she would become.
On March 4th I stepped back into the gym after a 7 month hiatus. I set a body goal and applied it to my life immediately. I became my own accountability partner and it’s been up and stuck ever since. I work out three times per week and I must say, I surprise myself each session. My strength, my endurance, my mind, my body…. So shocking to see my progress but so exciting to see my determination with pushing myself to the next level. I’ve become so emotionally healthy that I now bring out the best in those around me and I love that for us all.
This is really my selfish year. My self care year, my “Know your worth” year. This is my “If you aren’t adding, you’re being subtracted” year. I turned ME season into a lifestyle and I meant that. None of the things that I want out of life are negotiable anymore. If it’s not exactly what I desire or need, I’m cool on it. Through it all. Appreciate the version of yourself from the past. Whether good or bad. There were life lessons and growth created in order for you to become the person that you are today. The journey is what makes it so beautiful honestly. Embrace it.
The She-Shed has been the highlight of my year thus far. This platform has taken off to reach measures that I could only dream of. As quickly as it has been progressing, know that it has been keeping me very busy to say the least. Tonight kicks off Session 5 of our time together leaving us with just one session remaining before the platform ends for the Summer and returns in the Fall. There will be a meet and greet for all of the lovely women who have taken part in our weekly series in May and I cannot wait to share the details with you all. Stay tuned.
As I close out this weeks post, I want to remind you that you can rise up from anything. You can completely recreate yourself. Nothing is permanent. You are not stuck. You have choices. You can think new thoughts, pretty thoughts. You can learn something new. You can create new habits. All that matters is that you decide today and never look back.
It’s never too late :
to start over
to be happy
to change direction
to make things right
to take a chance on yourself
to be what you might have been
to improve yourself and be better
to start what you have been delaying
I promise that I’ll get everything that I deserve out of this thing called life. The peace, the happiness, the success, the love, the family, the money, the memories, and everything else positive and pretty. The word for this season of my life is “Hungry.” I want more and I will get more. I’m never starving though. Get my drift? So wassup baby, let me take you on a journey to what winning looks like. You down?
