This Is 38: You Can’t Wear A Crown With Your Head Down

Happy Birthday to meeeeee! cues Ratchet Happy Birthday 🥳 My family and friends will tell you, under normal circumstances I rarely get hype for my birthday, but this one sorta kinda hits a lil different. Clearly nothing about this year has been normal and truthfully, I am just so thankful & grateful to be here right now at this point in my life. I am healthy (shoutout my immune health & all the herbs/tea I been drinking), I have my apartment and I have been working this whole year. That is truly a blessing in itself. My family & friends are all well, and I do not take ANY of these things for granted.

This year has been such an eye opener, so revealing and the clarity I have been given….UNMATCHED!! I touched on this a bit in the first episode of my podcast (by the way, go listen!) and while the year has been challenging I am honestly so grateful for all the lessons. Observing how people move throughout this pandemic has truly been interesting to see and I cannot wait to talk more about that, lol. Ever since the Summer, when the social unrest began unfolding, I really began to feel a different kind of energy come through me. This year has taught me that the things I was once willing to accept, are completely unacceptable now. I’m in a space where I really just want to use my voice and amplify it like never before. This podcast has been a labor of love for the past few years and shoutout to Orla, who continued to stay on me about it. Its been in my spirit for awhile to do this. It was born out my ADD (Another Dating Disaster) 🙃 however due to 2020 being all of the things, there is sooooo much more I wanna talk about now. And this is how I know God’s timing is everything.

And so here we are, on my birthday nonetheless, dropping a podcast and another blog post…shout out me yo! LOL I did something I said I was going to do and followed through on my commitment to myself! This is why I say, this birthday hits a tad bit different. I am operating wayyyyy outside my comfort zone and coming for every last MF thing in 2021, you’ve been warned! Haha, I honestly don’t know what I am doing y’all and I know I will make mistakes and learn along the way and continue to get better. So be gentle, send me your thoughts and feedback please. Share, like, comment (maybe I’ll turn comments on?!) the introvert in me is seriously gonna be hiding in a corner shortly, but I truly appreciate you reading & listening.

I will leave you with a couple quotes/mantras that have been posted on my mirror for a few years now and I am really beginning to see come to light:

I AM committed to the work needed to turn my dreams into my reality

I AM confidently growing into my purpose

I trust God & God’s plan

Faith over Fear
