Ending 2023 minding my business & standing on business, principle, and respect. 🤍

Heavenly Father,

My pain sometimes feels overwhelming, but I know that you see, understand, and offer comfort to me in those heartbreaking moments. Help me keep my eyes on your eternal promise, knowing that today’s trials can’t compare to the glory that awaits. May I never lose sight of your will and purpose for my life. I lean on your strength, trust in your love, and stand firm on your word.

In Jesus’ sovereign, righteous and holy name. Amen. 🩷

Becoming a member of Alfred Street Baptist Church at the top of this year was one of the best decisions I made!

My Momma helped me remove that chip off my shoulder and told me that nobody can save me, but me. Nobody can heal me, but me.

Thank you for holding my hand as I save and heal myself. Thank you for being my source of strength as I rebuild the essence of my very being.

I am nothing without your love, compassion, and encouragement. I love you more than anything. ♥️

You deserve all things magical.

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. -Galatians‬ ‭6:9‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Ground Zero. 💫

And suddenly you know. It’s time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings. -Meister Eckhart

I lost everything. My mental stability. My spouse. My job. My sense of financial security. My world as I knew it had shattered into a million pieces.

I donated, trashed, and got rid of everything else, material wise, that was left. Clothes, shoes, furniture, etc. It was a lot. Why? I was so broken that I didn’t want anything to remind me of my former life. It was too painful.

There have been so many moments when I regretted this decision. Family and friends gently questioned if it was the best choice and if I was “losing my mind.” I wasn’t. I hadn’t. What was unfolding was I’d finally begun living for me and making my own decisions. No matter how insane it seemed to anyone else.

You see, downgrading and downsizing isn’t always negative. Strategically living below your means to reach your goals (because you no longer have the safety net of having a spouse who also makes a good living) is brave and inspiring. It has been so fun and liberating beginning anew!

To my surprise, I learned that there was a silver lining. I learned that with less, I actually have more. Most importantly, I learned that there is beauty beginning again at ground zero.

My advice to you is to take those million pieces and make a masterpiece.

“Dance like nobody’s watching” is an idiom that means to act or behave in a free-spirited, genuine manner, without concern for the opinions of others. It’s supposed to mean that you should find your own joy in life without worrying about what people will think of you.
