Space to do what you need to know!

Turning grief into the power to release and letting go with strength. Saving myself from heartache, being vulnerable with myself. Finding out what I need! All this helps me find myself and continue to love myself.

Welcome to 2017, a year where I'm not comparing myself and not resorting to competition of who carries the bigger burden. I've been in so many interpersonal grievances where there is a personal dynamic of codependent relationships. I've had to un-inline myself to carry other people's struggles. I've allowed myself to spend more time with myself, and you know there ain't bunk beds on them coffins. And we all do end up in this earth , so profound when you consider all this that we do to be beautiful. And all that we do to attain status to separate ourself from the "other"

For me 2016 was a whirlwind of a year and I am grateful for every experience that brought me to this whole person. I still look in the mirror and see my soul.

 I have been vulnerable this year. Mostly because of lack of boundaries in my relationships. This has impacted my own ability to know what I need and what I want.  Lack of boundaries invites negative attention, manipulation by others, and a general loss of self. The disappointments and hurts I have had handed to me disrupt the inner peace that comes with having boundaries and a solid knowledge of self. The critical viewpoint that I use to see myself making the boundaries necessary took a lot of work. It wasn't easy but it was definitely worth it ! You have to be able to be vulnerable with yourself and take risks . You have to be accountable for your mistakes and willing to get out of your comfort zone.

I've decided this year to learn to involve my higher self in all facets of my life. Decisions about big and small things! I've made that my intention in all things this year ... and I hope that passion infuses all the things I make and share with you this year.

Look out for some DIY posts to come ...
