Let’s Get Back 2 Basics- “Real Talk”.

“Males have stronger bonds than females”.

 I  honestly believed that until I started experiencing life and people through different lenses . Boy, was I glad to trade in the old pair!

Thus far, this year has been a year of complete transformation. Of course, this transformation goodness wasn’t the work of my own, but I give all the glory to God! It seems like he has been guiding me to meet some of the most beautiful souls who have such an impact on my life (just another prayer answered!).The Certified 10 workshop was yet another positive thing to add to this years list of  fresh new experiences!

Before I get into everything, Certified 10 is a movement started by Yetti of lifestyle blog YettiSays.com. This movement caters to mental health, self value and women empowerment.

It was the morning of the Certified 10 #Back2Basics brunch and I had no idea what was going to happen. From the title “Emptying The Closet”, all I knew was that we were about to talk about some raw real-ness! I was completely open minded and ready to rid myself of the unnecessary mental baggage. I got up, made sure the makeup was on FLEEK (you guys know I love a good face lol), and threw on a simple black midi dress. I grabbed my camera and was out the door!

Once I reached the city and after 5 minutes of looking for the event venue on the wrong block (I am so known for that haha), I arrived. The venue was gorgeous! Every couple of minutes, a brown skin beauty came walking in. Little did I know, the girls walking into this venue that were once complete strangers would become women that share some of the same struggles that I face. I was completely comfortable being in the room with such amazing woman! Tears were shed, laughter and joy filled our hearts as we rejoiced in sharing the struggles we’ve overcame and some that we’re still are battling. I thought to myself, “Oh, this is what Certified 10 is about”!

This event truly brought forward the things in my mind that I constantly pushed back because I thought that I have dealt with them.

One of the activities was to draw out a moment or insecurity from the back of our mental closets. It took me a long time to figure out what I wanted to draw (my issue was all the way in the back of the closet), but once I did I couldn’t even fully draw it out. I thought I forgave and rid myself of the bitterness, but once I rest the red crayon on the white sheet paper, I had to draw “it” in the simplest form to spare myself the break down. Once we were all done, we all hung these moments and insecurities on hangers and they were all rolled away to represent the release of our unnecessary mental baggage. This was a wonderful exercise and may I just add, God is certainly still helping me in that certain situation.

So no , the statement of  “males have stronger bonds than females” is no longer a fact in my head. It’s nothing more satisfying than meeting a confident, encouraging, selfless women who values herself and those around her! I have been meeting plenty lately, including the woman that I’ve met at this event. If you haven’’t met one,  maybe you can be that women!

I was so inspired by @kyramknox this past week. In I was so inspired by @kyramknox this past week. In her stories she spoke about her growth in regards to learning how to be okay failing publicly. It spoke volumes to me.

Simply put, whatever you are building or creating, growth will not be linear. There will be lows and highs. Either way, through each season, you learn. Learning to replace “that was a fail” with “I learned from this situation”. Sometimes people let the fear of failing stop them from creating anything at all. Feel the fear, and do it anyway is the motto for me this year. I’m praying we all step out to showcase our gifts to the world fearlessly this year. Bet on yourself. You either win or learn.  Myself included ❤️.

I grew up going with my mom to the gym almost ever I grew up going with my mom to the gym almost every Saturday with my sisters.  We would all travel on the A train downtown with her to go to the Lucille Roberts on Fulton just to sit in the children’s room 😆. Fun fact, later on I was a desk girl at the same location selling memberships! 

My mom was and still is committed to working out heavy. Sis wakes up at 5 still and takes virtual classes. That’s one of things that my sisters and I have in common. We all are active because we saw that example.

Fitness of all types is one way I like to take care of myself mentally and physically. When Covid first started, I loved my home workouts! I used to crank up my soca, dancehall even gospel, and I got moving. Now that I moved and it takes work to make space in my living room, I enjoy going to the gym. The gym is my space to release, have me time, and most importantlyn work on a healthier lifestyle. It’s my self-care.
 
 I'm still on this journey to a healthier lifestyle although motivation comes in waves. Some changes I've made lately is to eat less starchy foods + carbs, less sugar, more water, and working out at least 2 times per week. I’m planning to gradually increase this because Hubby also got me a foam roller, so maybe soreness won’t stop me 🤷🏾‍♀️ 😆.

Point is, self-care needs to be intentional and prioritized. It helps us to be fueled. On the blog, check out 3 ways to prioritize your self-care. Link in bio!
One thing about getting older is, you start to def One thing about getting older is, you start to define a lot of things for yourself. A lot of unlearning.

-What does success look like to me?
-What does healthy friendships look like to me?
-What does cultivating a healthy family look like to me?
-What qualities are serving me well and what needs work?

The inner work becomes real. Is this what happens when you get very close to being thirty? I'm like, what is going on 😆? Take me back to my early 20’s mindset! Anyways, happy Friday y'all! How are y’all feeling?
One thing about content creation, everything won’t go your way. But the comeback is always greater than the set back. 🤎

If you’ve reached a plateau (especially as a creator), while feeling discouraged ask God what he wants you to learn. One thing about me and God, we good. We know each other. If I need wisdom, I ask. That wisdom is everything. “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.”- James 1:5
