Just Breathe And Embrace The Ride 

I took my dog on a long walk today then I came back in and sat on my balcony with a glass of wine. And I breathed. And I was comfortable in my solitude. I was engaged in my own being and was amazed at the beauty of the growing process. It’s been almost a year since my return home and it has been an extreme whirlwind of emotional occurrences of highs at times overshadowed  with many more difficult lows. 

But this life was not promised to us to be easy. I have never been more proud of the woman I am becoming. Flawed and imperfect,  stronger and standing flat footed I embrace my peace, growth and happiness with eyes wide open and accepting there will be difficulty in the journey. I however, was not built to break. I also know the beauty and love felt after giving birth. 

The journey is what I am set to experience. This road is one only my shoes were made to walk.  I was uniquely created for this. My purpose is connected to this path. With each revelation I am more enlightened and accountable and challenged and drawn more into who I was set apart to be. My lane is phenomenally individually designed for me and it feels amazing. 


I dig my own dopeness. I am uniquely me, exceptionally me unapologetically me. My soul stands on tiptoe taking in every part of this journey as I breathe and embrace the ride.

I pray you never wonder what you need to fix.

  I pray you never wonder what you need to fix.   The other day, I came across a post that said “ I pray my daughter never wonders what she has to fix for a man to love her”. It made me reflect on an encounter I had this summer with my Ex-Husband. If I had to describe what I felt most it would be acceptance and peace.   It was a similar scenario albeit a terrible situation for our daughter.   Seeing him in person for the first time since 2019, finally had no effect on me.   He was a person I shared children with. The life we shared together, now seemed to be irrelevant. The old longing for him to change has long since subsided. I saw through him.   I focused on maintaining my calm and on the matter that brought us together. Our child’s crisis. In this moment, nothing was more important than to show up for her. Be present and supportive and to remove myself from the situation.   This was no easy task with what seemed like a determination to trigger me, or was it being in a space with a

“Forever doesn’t last these days”. It’s Friday night and I am relaxing listening to Jazmine Sullivan. As time draws closer to days that at one time had a significance to me; I allow the words of the songs to resonate. With all the talk about the true difficulties that come with making a relationship work, I acknowledge that love does not come easy! Relationships take work! Marriages, Family, True Friendships, they all take work! There will not always be a continuous cycle of good times! It is how you choose to bounce back from whatever is coming at you that matters! When you have given that everything your everything to your depletion, it is time to make different choices. Matters of the heart are tricky! Being mindful of where you are emotionally in that moment is key. Pray through it, sit on it, pray again and then when the time is right move on it. Keep Pressing! While things must change, you still have to keep pressing. The choice is yours. #LifeLessons

If Only I Could

If Only I Could   If I could allow myself to believe.   I would believe in a happy ending.  I would believe I could exist with someone in a space of peace.  That I would find someone who makes me feel seen, heard and protected.   I would believe things can be loving, drama free and flow naturally.    If I could believe.   If I had the experience of being in a space with someone who gives me room to be me. Who supports, encourages me and loves me without judgement.  Someone who would be mindful of my heart and loyal in their conduct.  Then maybe I could believe.    If only I could believe that there may be someone who frees me of my doubts and skepticism.  Who I can be at “rest” with.  Who makes me not want to run. Who is patient enough to work through the walls I have built. Who I can love without fear and reservation.  Who makes it easy to enjoy this journey.    If only I could.   If only.
