I will come back and respond to the full piece. However, I had to pause and implement right away.

I am scheduling out my posts without completing the audio (especially after recovering from laryngitis).

Who says my readers have to wait?

…for a rule that I MADE UP 😂😬🤦🏽‍♀️

omg YES! Same here! (Not laryngitis and I pray you feel better!) but the audio rule — i realized I cant write everyday AND record everyday! it’s just too time consuming! All I can do is hope the built-in audio reader is good enough until I can record! lol

Yes, I happen to love creating audio! So it’s a personal thing more than it HAS to happen with EVERY post AND holding them hostage until lol.

I’ve been writing more freely and honestly lately so the content has been flowing … I must honor this.

Not to mention my bigger babies are starting to travel back home for the holiday’s..so who has time 🤷🏽‍♀️

So thank you! Thank you @Isis for getting me together on number 1 of this essay 😂😂.

Also for the workshops that has contributed to getting back into practicing my creative muscles .

Appreciate you 🤎

Thank you for continuing to show up. I’ve been dealing a lot with people pleasing or wanting validation instead of just showing yo and doing it. I don’t need permission, I just need to do it. Also, I love reading your posts on here. It’s a nice thing to wake up to. Keep showing up girl. You are enough and what you have to say is enough. This is going to encourage me to just show up. So thank you 🥹

This, this, this! GIRL. I was up till 3am getting an itch out my heart that’s been there for YEARS. I said why not today and just started? So onward we went!!! I honestly thought I would be exhausted, but I woke up surprisingly refreshed. Just that one little step has fueled me with so much curiosity and fulfillment. I love when God confirms through you. Keep writing, sis. I’m here for it! 💕

I was reading a devo today and the author had Psalms 131 (MSG version) written out and verse two totally made me think of you and the space you (and let’s be real, myself as well lol) are in.

“I’ve kept my feet on the ground,

I’ve cultivated a quiet heart.

Like a baby content in its mother’s arms,

My soul is a baby content.”

‭‭ Psalms‬ ‭131‬:‭2‬ ‭MSG‬‬
