Is it too early for fall 🍂🍁

In my last vlog (https://youtu.be/XsIWcfs21Ic?si=3gjc9vhqxBOuDFRu ) I told yall I was working on fall merch, and it’s slowly rolling out 🎃

If you’ve been watching the wealthy wellness chronicles you’d know it’s always been my dream to design clothing & merch and I’m super excited to finally be doing it!

In next weeks vlog I’ll be showing you more of how I’m designing, what I’m using etc 🧡🥳

Shedding old things and letting go of what no longer serves me.

I know this will sound crazy to some, but others will surely be able to relate.

For years ever since I was young I was told I was “too loud”, “talked too much”, “attention seeking”, thought too much of myself and that caused me to hide. Subconsciously I internalized the belief that I was “too much”, “doing too much”.

So, I Hid my voice, hid myself. Hid when I entered rooms so nobody would hear or see me. Hid in how I dressed and presented myself so nobody would stare which in turn affected my self care. I Suppressed my true feelings and opinions on matters that really affected me.

In my healing journey I learned that fibroids can stem from low self esteem and low self worth (among other things) and that hurt me to think I had allowed myself to turn into somebody I didn’t know anymore. That I had allowed myself to be treated in such a way, & that I had treated myself in such a way that caused me to engage in behaviors that made me gain 50 extra pounds, and lose myself to negative thoughts.

I Listened to a video of Born yesterday where she said, “I was loud as a kid because I Was put here to teach, you’re SUPPOSED to hear me,” & that was an “ah ha!” moment for me.

I realized I had to forgive myself for allowing me to get to those places and forgive those that put those negative thoughts in my mind and again myself for letting them live there.

There are times when I want to go back in my shell, & hide from the criticism, judgement, opinions but I’m learning to lean into who and what I am.

Im a Raconteur, a gifted storyteller.

I’m meant to share. To teach. To help. Through stories.

No matter how taboo or uncomfortable. I’m committed to the journey of healing, and sharing, so that 1 day, somebody else can have the courage to do the same.

I release my parents from the feeling that they have failed with me.

I release my children from the need to make me proud, so that they can write their own ways, according to their hearts.

I release my partner from the obligation to make me feel complete. I lack nothing in myself.

I learn with all the beings that surround me through all time.

I thank my grandparents and ancestors who met so that today I breathe life. And I release them from the faults of the past and from the wishes they did not fulfill, aware that they did the best they could to resolve their situations, within the consciousness they had at that moment.

I honor them, I love them, and I recognize their innocence.

I bare my soul before their eyes and that is why they know that I do not hide or owe anything, more than being faithful to myself and my own existence, walking with the wisdom of the heart.

I am aware that I am fulfilling my life project, free of visible and invisible family loyalties that may disturb my peace and my happiness, which are my greatest responsibilities.

I renounce the role of savior, of being the one who unites or who fulfills the expectations of others.

And learning through LOVE, I bless my essence and my way of expressing, although there may be someone who cannot understand me.

I understand myself, because only I lived and experienced my story; because I know myself, I know who I am, what I feel, what I do and why I do it.

I respect and approve.

I honor the Divinity in me and in you.

We are free.

Todays reflections:

Create environments to cultivate growth, laughter and joy.

Today I met with my sister friend Jazmin Barnes to try a Pure Barre class in North Raleigh (that whooped my ass). It was great to be able to try something new & challenge myself and be challenged with someone I love & enjoy being around in a judgement free zone.

I had to put my girl on the Poppi iykyk & her nails matched the can, talk about alignment 🤩😍😍😍

Im losing weight but I promise I won’t disappear 🤞🏽

On my way home this man was dancing on my car with mannequins/puppets and I was in tears. He brought me so much joy and it made me think about the gifts that we have that we can use to bring smiles to other peoples lives that we might not share often.

How was your day today?

My children will know different

There’s a line from the film Inside Out 2 that resonated with me so deeply. You’re likely to miss it if you don’t pay close attention.

It’s the scene where Sadness shyly asks Joy if she can go down into the memory pool with her. In response, Joy takes Sadness hand into hers and says to her friend, “Of course! Remember Sadness, wherever I go, you go too.”

When I heard that, I remembered how some people like to say that they are afraid of being so happy because they know that after the happiness, sadness follows. That’s really no way to live, and neither is it true. One doesn’t follow the other because they always travel together, side by side, hand in hand.

Joy and sadness are like the railroad tracks. Even on the saddest of days, if we look hard enough, and allow ourselves to experience it, there will always be some joy to be found. Likewise, even on the most joyful of days, like the birth of a child, a wedding, a graduation, a championship, or a promotion, when we remember that someone or something is missing, there will always be that tinge of sadness.

So when we say that we are grateful for life, we cannot just be grateful for the joyful moments, we must be grateful even for the sad parts. We must be grateful for all of it. Joy and sadness carry us (or we carry them) as we move forward from one season of life to the next.

Hey Loved Ones, Happy Wednesday!

So I have a glass of Chlorophyll water every morning right? Well, I recently switched to THIS chlorophyll & when I SAY, it’s doing ITS JOB, I tell NO LIES!

Chlorophyll has helped with clearing up my skin & also, keeping things moving. I had such an issue with constipation before incorporating this into my regimen.

So do some research on it and then if you decide to try it, here’s the link to the one I’m using! Would love to hear your thoughts.

Have a beautiful day! 🫶🏾
