Where Reality and Inspiration Meet

Resting until the new year

For those who may have missed me last week or wondered where I was… please know I am good! I needed time to rest. When thinking of a blog post to write for last week, I did not want to force myself into writing with no inspiration. Instead, I focused on being more present in the moment and rested. Resting and being present in the moment are December goals of mines.

In preparation for the holidays… my intention is to rest, reflect, and be fully present. That said, I will continue to post regularly scheduled blog posts starting January 4th. During this time, I encourage everyone to rest as well. 2020 has been one hellva a year, and we all deserve time to rest and reset.

See you on January 4, 2021.

Until next time,

2016 Year In Review

2016 has been the most challenging yet beautiful year of my life. Challenging in the sense that I had to remove myself of old patterned behaviors, to transcend into my new journey of life. Honestly speaking, I was not ready to make a change but the universe felt differently.

When I reflect back, January till mid-June were the darkest days of my life. I literally didn’t want to wake up, and didn’t find my life purposeful. For half of the year I was severely depressed, and had massive anxiety attacks all the time. Stuck in the midst of my struggles, I started to wonder what would my life be like if I dared greatly (shout out to Brene Brown).

When I finally built the courage to dare greatly, I…

  • Put myself first
  • Loved myself
  • Left an emotionally abusive relationship
  • Quit my job
  • Struggled financially to gain inner peace and unconsciously improved my finances
  • Traveled a lot
  • Lost friends
  • Built stronger friendships
  • Committed myself to a spiritual journey
  • Ascended spiritually
  • Evolved in therapy
  • Started/maintained a self-care regimen
  • Started eating healthy which resulted in weight loss
  • Grew as a writer
  • Purged everything that no longer served me

From daring greatly, I am no longer in that dark space anymore. 2016 I categorized by the mantra #yearofpeach. I successfully accomplished my mantra! But who knew…that I would have to lose everything to gain so much more in return. I gained myself back! I gained back PEACH! I arrived at my destination (point intended) Destination Peach. Nothing can take away the inner joy and happiness I feel. I still have my down moments but that’s natural. Everything I envisioned for myself and manifested on my vision board came into existence. I did my self-work and I’m excited for 2017!

Until next time…

All I Want For Christmas Is…

wishlist3

It’s officially the most wonderful time of the year (cue Andy Williams voice). Christmas is one of my favorite holidays! As a kid and still till this day, Christmas has always been a magical time for me. The older I get, giving to others and spending quality time with my loved ones means everything to me. Not to mention receiving a gift or two is always nice. Since I was a kid I have always made a Christmas wishlist and haven’t stopped yet. Whether I personally buy everything on my list (sometimes you gotta treat yourself)…or my family buys everything on my list; creating a wishlist brings back great childhood memories.

Here’s my 2015 Christmas wishlist…
