Learning to love myself, healing mentally and emotionally, overcoming childhood trauma, and even self induced trauma from past choices. Taking that long hard look in the "mirror" and realizing that in some cases along your life's journey, you were the toxic one... Evolving and growing into my ideal version of myself. Becoming the person who I always felt I was deep inside, but too insecure and concerned of others judgement to be unapologetically myself, is by far one of the hardest journeys I have ever embarked on.




I have started this journey many times and made great strides and progress only to sabotage myself and allow myself to get distracted, sidetracked and derailed from my progress and ultimately regress, too many times. I don't want to fall into old patterns and old paradigms that don't serve me anymore. I want to live my life happy and healthy and full of abundance, without fear of disappointing others and/or the fear of not being enough. I want to be surrounded by unconditional love and people who love, accept and support me not just for who I am today, but who I will be tomorrow, a year from now, and in all my levels of growth and evolution.




I am not the child you remember, I am also not who I was in my teens, my 20's nor my 30's. I am not who I was when I entered my 40's, nor am I who I was a year ago, a month ago, a week ago or even yesterday. Because even though I have fallen off track many times some growth and progress still remained. Like climbing stairs, even though I've stumbled and fell back a few, I always catch myself before I hit the ground. I dust myself off, evaluate where I am, where I want to go, then start climbing again!




I am on a journey to not only be the best version of me that I can be, I'm also on a journey to love myself unconditionally.

This Post Inspired by a Ophelia Nichols Video from Friday, September 23, 2022 

I just love her so much. She's also very right, and her words of wisdom should be heard. Too many of us look on the other sides of the fence instead of nurturing and building our own.

I know I personally spent many years comparing my life to others and feeling like I was a disappointment, that I wasn't doing enough or being enough or just not enough in general in others' eyes, which is a childhood trauma that I'm still working on healing from as many of us are. 

I stopped comparing my life and worrying about whether I was living up to others ideas of perfection a long time ago! However, those feelings of being a disappointment and not being enough still lingered because I wasn't being mindful enough of who I allowed to have access to my energy. If there is anyone in your life that makes you feel like you are a disappointment and/or not enough, family, friend, acquaintance...etc, please distance yourself from them. Because your mental health is more important than their feelings and if you allow it, they will slow your healing and progress to being your best self! 

My life is far from perfect, I've made my fair share of mistakes over the years and it most definitely has its ups and downs just like everyone else's, but it's mine and I'm going to make it the best life I possibly can and I hope that I can encourage others to do the same. Also, I AM enough just the way I am!
