Where Reality and Inspiration Meet

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…

New Year Essentials

1-2 example

2016 is officially here! For this year I am expecting great things to manifest. To help manifest the great things I want to accomplish, I felt it was only right to to grab a few essential items to start the new year with a bang.

Here’s what I picked up during my holiday festivities:

Journals

  • The gratitude journal keeps me mindful of all the blessings I receive.
  • A new writing journal is always necessary or maybe I just have an obsession with journals. Anywho, out with the old and in with the new! Every year is different, and stifling energy from the previous year’s journal shouldn’t be carried over into the new year.

Candles

  • Chakra candles are perfect for meditation and speaking what I need into existence.

Bracelets

  • The gemstone healing bracelets help with keeping my anxiety down and defending off negative energy.

Lotion

  • The aromatherapy lotion Energy from Bath and Body Works not only smells good but is great for boosting energy, which is something I need when I get physically and mentally fatigue at times.

If there are any new year essentials you use comment below.

Until next time…

2015 Teachable Moments

FullSizeRender (10)2015 has been the year of teachable moments. Every situation I encountered not only made me wiser but, made me very selective of what I dedicate my time/energy to. When 2015 started my goals were simple just…peace and prosperity. However, the more I started to gain peace and a “little” prosperity, the more bullshit came along the way. When reflecting back on the year, I now understand that peace is not obtainable without struggle. If it were not for my moments of struggle, I wouldn’t have reached my destination of mental clarity… and I for sure wouldn’t be in a self-reflective mind state.

2015 taught me:

  1. I matter!!!
  2. Always choose myself first.
  3. Trust my struggle.
  4. I do what I want.
  5. The law of attraction is real.
  6. Hard work does pay off.
  7. Embrace newness.
  8. Slow down and be still.
  9. Certain things can wait to be completed.
  10. Death is not avoidable.
  11. People do and say the craziest things.
  12. Sometimes I’m prone to having rants like Kanye..what would Yeezy do?

2015 was a #yearofgrowth for me. Cheers to 2016 and what is to come in the #yearofpeach.

Until next time…
