November 2023

Advice is easy to give but harder for me to swallow. As the self proclaimed “therapist” friend, I was using my friend’s problems to escape my own. It’s so much easier to help them fix their issues while my own lingered so deep in my subconscious that when I finally started taking my own advice, “pour more into yourself than others,” the ripple effect it caused in my life is still being dealt with to this day. The effort didn’t come without pain. If I had a choice, I would do it all over again, no regrets, because I’ve finally reached a point where I’m happy with who I am internally. It feels like such a blessing! These changes are evident in my external world, from my appearance, to my energy, aura and even the way I handle and approach situations that would have triggered me in the past. I’m not perfect. I never want to be. I don’t know it all, but I know enough. All my wisdom comes from lived experiences and boy, am I woman who revels in long lasting memories.

What are you looking forward to? What I’m looking forward to the rest of this year and into the next is allowing myself to be more vulnerable in my art. I share a lot of the bad but there are so many good things I have going on that I feel safe enough to share online.

I’ve found my voice again, so I’ve decided that I’ll never shut up.
