A little to a birthday month full of love, celebration, and quiet healing 🤍

The older I get, the more I realize…
every day, every birthday, every moment of joy, soak it allllllllll in yall, stop and take it in 🙏🏾

Nothing is promised in this beautiful gift we call life, so your girl is here learning to feel it while I’m in it and not fight it anymore, key word, LEARNING, a forever student of life

Hey community 🫶🏾
I turned 46 this year, and as always, my promise here is to keep sharing honestly, what has kept me well, and what hasn’t, so we can walk this path together and learn from our lived experiences

Biggest takeaway from where I am today:

I used to think loving hard would make me loveable.
Now I know loving myself well is the love I was always looking for

Lately, I’m leaning into this:
it’s less about doing everything “right” (what does that even mean lol)
and more about listening
to my body, my energy, my mind, my intuition, my mentors, my loved ones 💕

What I eat
Who I spend time with
What I consume

It all shapes how I feel
And how I feel shapes everything

My therapist asked me to define my non-negotiables, so here’s what I’m practicing:

• Paying attention to my nervous system like a Netflix I’m fully invested in
• Noticing when my cup feels full… and when it’s running on empty like I run to charge my iPhone battery
• Choosing peace more often (this one isn’t easy, life is stressful, getting better, I think, still learning this one 🙏🏾)

I still give chances
I just leave quicker

Nothing is really ours
Life is fleeting

So I’m choosing to live it gently, honestly, and well

Just sharing what I’m learning… as I go 🤍

What are you learning?

Yours truly,
Healing
