I think I will make me a tshirt.

Only ships I will make space for are number 1, ME and the OG(divinity), family, good friends, my animals, and my plants (we talk).

It's unfortunate for me to say that I have experienced them all. Although it's because of the side effects of abuse, that has drawn me to do my own healing work. And now, pursuing a new career in mental health to serve others with PTSD/Complex PTSD.

Swipe the slides for more info. Btw, is a wonderful coach and speaker, and I am confident her book is wonderful.

My hair is representing the state of my life this morning and I wouldnt have it any other way. Leaning into all this growth and I am proud of myself for never letting anything stop me from learning the lessons and finding grace on this journey I am meant to experience. Wild hair and all.

I am often inspired, and when I am, I write. Sometimes, a soft poem or heated prose. Sometimes, I share a personal story and the lessons learned from it. Not to just "share" but to resonate with someone who might need that message. I was told recently not to post some of my personal feelings on social media because it might call a person or situation out. My intention isn't to do so. Otherwise, I could do so quite dramatically if I intended to. I post to express myself as I have always done over the years. When someone likes a post, I believe its because they've gained something from the message or want to validate a thought. Either way, it connects us, and it's my way of showing up. Some people write songs and sing them before a crowd, others take photos and me, I write. So no, I won't stop being me.

I ended an unhealthy relationship for this exact point (among the toxic behaviors that followed with this cycle). Then, synchronicity brought me another situation with someone else a couple days ago to make absolutely sure, I imprint this sentiment into my mind. Learn the lesson.

STOP TRYING TO COMMUNICATE WITH A BRICK WALL! The moment you notice in a conversation, the individual being unwilling to hear an altering perspective and becomes emotionally dysregulated, STOP, and end the conversation and possibly, the relationship because its a very unhealthy dynamic that will lead you nowhere.

Sometimes, the path isn't so clear. We don't have a clear view, or the light at the end of a tunnel might be just a glimmer. That's where surrender, patience, and even faith dare I say, be given its time to show up for us when we are ready to see.

It might have taken 16 years to complete, but I never gave up. Life came with its curveballs, that pushed me off track a few times but I kept it moving. This last year and half, I made a commitment that nothing was going to get in the way this time and completed 11 classes to finish. I might be a late bloomer but I am blooming wild flowers now.

Next stop, my Masters Program starting next month. I am on a mission to change my career and provide a meaningful service to those in need. The train is moving and I am staying on it.

Difficulties come and then go. Heartbreak, illness, family challenges, financial struggles, all while doing the emotional labor of healing and growing as an individual, can sometimes make it all seem unbearable. But conviction, yes that powerful motivator is what anchors me and for that, I am truly grateful.
