Step back and BREATHE

GREETINGS

I started two posts in 2018 that I never summoned the courage to finish, much less to post! I stepped away from writing...well this blog because I enrolled in graduate school and writing papers consumed me. As I approach the commencement of this Degree, I am at the point AGAIN, of searching for what it is that I want to do outside of my profession to reflect and recalibrate. I want to carve paths and open doors, I want to be a servant, I want to be adaptive.....I want to be a leader, a pioneer, a trailblazer.  I am a leader, a natural-born leader, who was privileged enough to be nominated and accepted into a rigorous leadership program. I must create a personal sanctuary for myself.  At this moment I feel the need to step back, in order to move forward. 

STEPPING BACK

To Be, Rather than to Seem all 2018

We live in a technological era where everyone is on social media and creating a perception of their lives. Social media has created the need to always be perfect or rather quintessential...simple put FLAWLESS in the words of Queen Bey. I challenge everyone to be rather than to seem in 2018


October 2, 2018


2018 has been a year of complete and utter change. Chaotic would be an understatement. It has been filled with risk-taking: both precarious and safe. For once in a long time, I put myself first. I put myself, before a relationship, before a job, before a boyfriend....before everything. Throughout my 20s I have come to realize that I did not make decisions based solely on my happiness and my best interest. This was primarily because I was in a relationship. A relationship that while might have been very safe and comfortable was very toxic and inhibiting. A better word would be stifling. What is love? What is love without Respect? Can that even be possible? I went on a quest to truly understand love. 

So I will be doing several mini posts about life and relationship. From my perspective that is. 

I have spent many years at war with myself, but now I am healing - Mentally, physically, and spiritually healing...

MOVING FORWARD
 
I submerged myself so much into my profession and graduate school. It was my band-aid for life. However, I still embody the notion of healing. So I will begin my mini-post about life, my experiences, and relationships (intimate, friends, family). 

Every Sunday Evening at 8pm for the next Sundays (The end of 2020)

DREAMS I have learned that nothing comes to a sleeper but a dream.  I know and have experienced the results of hard work, determination and dedication. However, I have not always put it into practice in order to achieve all of my dreams and aspirations.  I feel that I am really and truly blessed with my talents and features, that I don't necessarily always use or rather implement in my life. So I as the new year is upon me, I have decided to to put as much time, energy and resources into this blog. I am currently on a purpose seeking mission in life. And regardless of where I am mentality, physically, emotionally or even financially, the yearning to Blog remains the same. We live in a world where the only thing constant in life is change. But with all the changes in my life, the yearning to blog has remained constant. I sat and reread my earlier blogs and thought to myself, "wow girl, you really did that?" I honestly couldn't believe I wrote those previous posts....
