Graceful Haven

In my earlier years, I identified with the victim mindset but after much work and therapy, I found that things happen. I understand now that something’s happen due to our own actions and others happen as a result of generational patterns. In the case of those generational patterns, someone in the blood line has to accept the challenge of change and betterment, which means developing/growing in that “growth” mindset. I now embrace those experiences as my opportunity to grow and change for both myself and those that come after me. 🌼🌸🌺

When you change how you look at things, the things you look at change…

It makes no sense to complain about where you are if you do not have a vision and intention about where you want to be.

I forgive ME for allowing people and situations to speak to the value that I have and am 🌸🌺🌼

I AM Authentically me!

No matter what mama, grandma, cousin, teacher, husband, boss feels about the ME that puts me first in all things.

Call me selfish, but you will never call me worthless, less than, not enough.

I AM ENOUGH
I AM VALUABLE
I AM CONFIDENTLY ME

🌸🌺🌼

Your thoughts are the seeds to your reality

re-, which means “back” or “again,”

it is time to:

Re-assess what/who works and does not work
Re-arrange/re-organize goals
Re-structure personal boundaries

I am blessed.
I am highly favored.
It all always works out for me.
It’s all for my good, it’s all in my favor.
It’s all in the direction of my destiny and wildest dreams coming to pass.

Your thoughts, behaviors and actions create the effects that manifest and shapes the life you know.

If you are not happy w/the affects you have created, then you must change the causes that created them in the first place.

Recognize that your worth is inherent and not determined by external achievements or opinions.

Embrace the truth that you are enough just as you are. By shifting your focus from external validation to self-acceptance, you open the door to true empowerment and confidence.

Many of us, including myself, have been born into circumstances that felt like a consuming fire—generational challenges, societal expectations, and personal traumas that often seem insurmountable. These challenges, while daunting, have the potential to forge us into stronger, more resilient beings.

Grieving for the things/people you never had in life, all while trying to make sure you are those things/people to yourself and those that come after you is full of different emotions, decisions, and choices rest in them. For even as the tears flow, I am grateful for the journey.
Changing/evolving with love and compassion for myself.

We're more than feelings. We don't have to live by how we feel and what we want.

Breaking cycles by re-parenting myself all while parenting my children IS/has been by far the hardest thing in my life‼️

Those generations that are coming up out of me WILL NOT continue the patterns that I am unlearning.

🌺🌼🌸💕

Love yourself more than you love the attention and/or your trauma.

Sometimes we think we have changed when in actuality, we just haven’t faced that particular trigger in a while 🤷🏽‍♀️

Your expectations trump your desires everytime...

WHAT ARE YOU EXPECTING??

If we can receive feedback with grace, reflect on it with courage, and respond to it with purpose, we are capable of unearthing unimaginable insights from the most unlikely places.”

I wouldn't trade this journey for anything!!!
