"To all the ladies in the place with style and grace - The Notorious B.I.G"

Dear Me,

Welcome to chapter 48….I am immensely grateful for this life!

Thank you, God! This thing call LIFE be lifing; but you always look out for me. Thank you for always covering me, giving me an abundance of grace, adding detours that I didn't know I needed, placing amazing souls in my life, and opening doors to spaces I couldn't have imagined. I don't think I say it enough, but I am forever grateful.

As I reflect on the last 365 days, there have been so many things that I have accomplished, but celebrated in silence. I am so proud of myself for completing goals that were on my dream board, living healthier, becoming stronger (mentally and physically), recommitting to my healing journey (therapy has been amazing), and stretching myself professionally. Although, I am no where near finished, I know I am on the right path.

As I continue on my journey of true happiness, love, peace, and purpose, I commit to the following:

Continue to keep the promises that I made to myself.
If I desire it, I will make space for it.
Keep aiming to be the best version of me. It will be the best for everything and everyone I touch.
Continue to practice gratitude daily.
I am a Queen! Don't ever forget that!
Do not apologize for the amount of time you need to recharge.
Attach to nothing; be fully connected to everything!
Trust my intuition!
Celebrate EVERYTHING!
Understand what I need and don't need….and act accordingly.
People will come and go. Those that are meant to be in my life will stay.
Discipline is the key to many items on my "things to accomplish list."
Continue to pour into myself. Keep loving on myself and stand firm on my boundaries.
Let absolutely NO ONE play in my face!
Keep peace a priority!
Keep shining my light like a diamond.
God is still writing my beautiful story. The best is yet to come!
Continue to see things (and people) for what they actually ARE and not what I want/need them to be, or what potential they have...Govern myself accordingly.
Slow progress is still progress!
Only let blessing spin the block!
