✨ FINDING YOUR THING✨
there was a time when i felt like i had run out of chances.
that the choices i had made landed me in a position that i would never find my way out of.
partly because i didn't understand how i found myself in such a low place.
mostly because i felt that i deserved to be right where i was.
i mean, i made all the choices that put me here, right?
even though there were others who contributed to my unlivable conditions, blaming them wasn't going to get me or my children free...
and so i pushed.
i pulled.
i cried.
i prayed.
then pushed some more.
until the universe showed up.
with support.
with love.
with council.
and guidance.
it took self-love to accept where i found myself.
it took self-love to forgive myself.
and in the end it has been self-love that attracted all the support and resources i needed to restart my life on my own terms.
yes, self-love is about looking good and feeling good.
it can also inform the choices we make in crafting our best lives.
and for me that's completing my Bachelor's and getting a PhD in the Sociology of Religion--
and helping ya'll fall so deeply in love with yourselves that you can't help but magnetize the life that is your birthright.
live your best life on this friday/venus day humans❣️

venus at sunset, taken during my indigenous perspective on the sky class…💎✨
with fall semester starting, my summer 2021 is officially over.
all i can say is that i learned a lot.
mostly about myself.
the greatest take away from summer 2021 is the necessity to create space in my life to make mistakes.
to mess up.
f**k up.
royally and epically.
because without that space i can’t grow.
the shame and guilt i generally face around how i show up in life has crippled me to the point of inaction in a lot of areas in my life.
as if i can ever be perfect…
and i’m done.
which means that all of those who require perfection from me must also go.
being human is a birthright and learning along the way is a part of that experience.
no more pressure to be on…
or to have all the answers…
making peace with not knowing everything…
or even needing too.
big big lessons but oh so freeing.
how was your summer?
what’s your greatest take away of summer 2021?
please share in the comments ✨🙏🏾✨

happy Juneteenth and everything but don’t get it twisted, the work is far from done.
freedom was never using the same bathroom or eating at the same restaurants.
and it definitely ain’t a federal holiday.
periodt.

writhing. vibrating. shivering.
opening. releasing.
SURRENDER...
self is ever changing--waxing, waning, fluid.
outdated ideas, beliefs, feelings, or people only reflect our previous frequency.
the sum of all our past choices.
this solar eclipse encourages the uncovering all that dims your unique shine--that which makes you YOU.
ready or not.
willingly or by force.
to become more of yourself...
