My Time

I just took a bath for the first time in a very long time.

 

Bath salts

Exfoliate

4 lit candles

Glass of Sweet Rosé

Meditation sounds

And my thoughts

 

I felt a little guilt though. Like I should have been doing something else. I could have been writing out bills or getting the laundry together for wash day or checking on the kids. But I stayed. I stayed in there for an hour. My hour. Feeling good now. Taking my time back. Because you know moms are people too. 😊

Jada

People put so much emphasis on perfection when thinking about Jada Pinkett-Smith and celebrities/politicians in general. I think about all of the naysayers saying that she can't be an expert on interpersonal relationships or give advice through channels like the Red Table Talk series because of her recent admission of supposed infidelity in her marriage. But she is a human being. That is one thing that has frightened me in all of my professional journeys. People believe that if you fail in one aspect of your life then you don't have the right to give advice to anyone in another area or even in that area of life. It is a perceived notion that you must be perfect all around, have a perfect image everywhere so that you can advise. People are trying to cancel her saying that she can't give anyone advice on anything anymore because of this new revelation. This revelation that is new to us. But who are we really? My question comes in how can people grow if the mistakes they make ...

Take a Break - Lent 2022

​ I took a break from social media as a sacrifice during the Lenten season. i often participate in lent which is a Christian tradition of sacrifice as a way to help RECenter myself and refocus. this year I took the 40 days to stay off of Instagram Facebook as found they are particularly addictive distractions for me and I used that time to do more things that are in alignment with the woman I want to become. I love to read and I used the time to read more. I didn't just read anything I am building the habit of listening to more positive words, more positive authors, more meaningful podcast and ingesting things they are more uplifting empowering and positive all around. I used the time to limit activity that did not make me feel good. I listened to more music with uplifting content. I watched more empowering television and videos. it felt like when I did spend my time consuming media it was more purposefully and intentionally. At the end of the fast and I return to social media I...

Enough (Spring 2020)

I am feeling overwhelmed on so many levels. The threat of becoming ill and the world shutting down this spring due to the Corona virus global pandemic effected me deeper than I thought. Even before this pandemic I took time off work because I was mentally stretched. I was tired and unfocused and confused. I felt like I was operating in a fog. I couldn't get myself together. Maybe my mind and body were preparing me for a shift.  I am tired. I'm tired of being tired. These past few days, weeks, months have worn on my soul. Worn on my very being. I have been trying to release each thing only to be hit by something else soon after.  This pandemic has made me reevaluate my sense of self. I am a people person. I am good in person. I am not an online instructor. Technology has scared me for a very long time. I am completely out of my comfort zone. I am also failing at being a good home teacher for my baby. Her sleep schedule is completely off, she's not actively engaging in classw...
