Hard days are inevitable 🙈 but here’s a few things to remember…

Happy Juneteenth 🖤💚💛❤️

Back story…📚

The origins of Juneteenth date back to June 19, 1865, when Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger, a U.S. Army officer and Union General during the Civil War, issued an order in Galveston, Texas, announcing that all slaves were free under the Emancipation Proclamation. About 250,000 Black people enslaved in Texas were the last in the country to receive notice of the proclamation, which President Abraham Lincoln had issued MORE than TWO years prior granting freedom to all enslaved people in Confederate states.

Meaning… people were enslaved for an extra 2 years after it was abolished 😳

Could you imagine finding out you were free that much later? Or How many people suffered or dies during that time?

Always feels good to get back to my routine after travel ✈️

Happy Hump Day 🐫

and support to you today and for the week✨

How do you start your morning? 🌅

✨it took me a long time to get a morning routine down and now it’s a must! I can feel the difference in my mood and body when I’m unable to do it. It sometimes changes slightly, but always has some key components.

KEY COMPONENTS:
-wake up around same time
-brush teeth
-blow my nose (get rid of extra mucus)
-have tea w/ essentials oils, honey, collagen, etc.
-get my 15 mins of news (you have to control how much outside influence you want for your day)
-walk dog
-check schedule for the day
-don’t see clients before 10am

SLIGHT CHANGES:
-yoga/movement (working on consistency)
-bone broth (if I have it)
-coffee
-kombucha
-smoothie

It took time and baby steps to make those key components stick. So REMEMBER that when making changes ⏰👣

✨✨it’s impossible, so don’t try✨✨

Helping yourself heal and grow can be extremely hard 🩹🌱
It takes work and commitment and can take more than just you🧍‍♀
There is nothing wrong with seeking support; it can even help make the process easier... I didn't say easy 🙊
But it can definitely help 👍
It is never too late to start something new, never too late to reach out, and also never too late to lend a hand 🤝
Everyone needs someone 👫
We are not meant to be alone, and we should not feel like we have to do it all alone🚷
If you need help, find support. If you don't know where to start, start asking 🗣
The answers are out there, someone is willing to help, and you may find precisely what you're looking for 🥰

Just sending some extra love and support for your day 🌞💗

Balance...Balance...Balance ⚖️

This is something I often talk about with my clients. Life is HARD, and there's always an appointment, an errand, work, family...fill in the blank.
❤
Nothing ever stops or is always good. Therefore, WE have to create the space to stop and fill our cup (resting counts, too 😉). You cannot ONLY work, you cannot ONLY play...but you can do both. Find what fills you up and helps you stay balanced.
🧡

Some ways I stay balanced in life:
- scheduling breaks from work (vacations and daily)
- drink tea before I have my morning coffee
- visit my great grandparents
- take time to create

What about you??

Happy Black History Month ❤️🖤💚

I am very proud to be able to identify as a black woman today. It was a long time of internal and external struggle to feel "worthy" of this title. Growing up biracial (Black & White) in a predominantly white community, there was always the struggle of “not being black enough” or “being too white”. It's been a journey, that is still a work in progress, but I am proud of where I currently am. Being comfortable in my skin is just the beginning. The next step is to do the deep diving to know where I came from and who came before me 🌳👨🏾‍👩🏾‍👧🏾‍👦🏾

Color of the day…..Sapphire 🔹🌀🔹

Sapphire heals, purifies, and regenerates your body.
It also has the ability to soothe your mind, calm your nerves, and release emotional pain.
As a nourishing color, Sapphire dissolves disharmony and clears the blocked pathways to well-being, clearing your mind, balancing your emotions, and creating order in your life.
🔹🔹🔹
Experiment with Sapphire light to regenerate your body and bring back a sense of harmony.
🔹🔹🔹
What to do-
Breathe in healing Sapphire light and allow yourself to focus on increasing your well-being.
Rub your hands together, then place them next to each other.
Imagine that in each palm you are holding a sphere of Sapphire energy.
Allow yourself to feel these powerful spheres of energy and play with them, increasing their size and strength. Now put your hands on the part of your body that needs regeneration ⚡️

Retreating is my self-care and this one takes the cake 🎂

This year the title was "let the light in" and focused around Imbolc.

A short short lesson on Imbolc, this is the season when we are welcoming back the sun and everything is beginning to come to life. It is the time after a long winter when we develop our intentions "resolutions" for the year and prepare to spring into action in the next season (Spring Equinox). Thanks .womenswellness

We get to indulge, relax, eat meat, drink, reconnect, and be merry. We always do the emotional work and movement, but this retreat has a one-of-a-kind vibe ✨

Definitely ready for all the things this year will bring☀️

Thank you to the lovely ladies who brought their creation to life .womenswellness

and my fellow mermaids who made it even better .rodomista

The tea 🫖 had some very strong messages this morning ☀️

They went together so eloquently 💜

Color of day…AQUA! 🐟🐠🐡

Aqua creates a state of serenity, tranquility, and peace by soothing your mind and calming your nerves. It is a great color to
work with in meditation when you would like to experience inner stillness. It is also a color of patience, faith, acceptance, and
coolness. Aqua dissolves your fears to increase your confidence and belief in yourself. Calm your nervous system and soothe your mind by immersing
yourself with Aqua rays of light.

Peace✌️☮️
WHAT TO DO:
Spend some time relaxing and focusing on your inner stillness. Imagine beautiful rays of Aqua light moving through your nervous
system, calming, purifying, and creating a sense of peace.

Say 🗣:
"Divine Spirit, infuse me with healing Aqua light, calm my nerves, and allow me to experience a sense of peace and
tranquility."

Good morning ☀️
✨sending 💜, support, and good vibes for your Monday✨

Photo by me: location

Many paths lead to the same destination; it doesn’t matter how you get there ✨.

We live in a society where it’s believed we “should” be at certain milestones by a certain age. Finish college at this age…Married at this age…kids at this age…etc.

IT’S ALL BULLS* 💩

I see many clients dealing with anxiety and depression around this topic. Feeling they “should” have their life figured out at 22 😳
Really??!!

REMEMBER:

✨wherever you are, is where you’re supposed to be
✨if it takes you longer to do something, that’s ok!
✨don’t get down on yourself because your timeline isn’t like someone else’s
✨stop comparing!
✨keep working towards your goal and you’ll get there 👍

54 YEARS OF MARRIAGE!! 💒💍👴👵
So happy we got to celebrate my great grandparents anniversary… didn’t go as planned, but had a blast.

Original plan- grandma wanted seafood so it was Red Lobster 🦞

Back up plan- too long of a wait so we went Pirates Kitchen. We ate with our hands, made a mess, grandma got a little tipsy 🍷

couldn’t have been better 🤣😋🥰

✨✨if you still have grandparents, Call them, visit them, learn from them, laugh with them✨✨. There’s no one else like them and you’re missing out 😢

Color of the day…

✨Apricot lightens any heavy or burdensome energy you may be carrying to bring enormous vitality, joy, and zest into your life.

✨Apricot also releases irrational fears and anxieties; it is a color of creativity, fun, and intuition.

✨Meditate on the color Apricot to bring more joy and lightness into your life.

JOY
Today is a day for rejoicing. Remind yourself of all the golden moments you have experienced in your life.

✨Wear something that is Apricot or meditate on this color. Invite joy into your heart.

Say: "Divine Spirit, please awaken the joy, laughter, and spontaneity of my heart and soul."

💪🏾CHALLENGE: Find five joyful moments in this day…. Share if you like 😁

More birthdays! Happy happy birthday my dear friend. I am so glad to have met you all these years ago. It has been my pleasure to travel with you, watch you grow, and just be in your presence. You are one bad ass B and one of the hardest workers I know.
I love ya! ✨🍾🎉🎂

Happy birthday to my ride or die since 12!
Stephanie!! Girlllll…I cannot express how much I cherish our 23 years of friendship.
You and I have been through the most and I am so thankful for it all! I love being a fairy godmother to your son, reminiscing about our past, and looking back at the many memories we’ve created and all the ones we will create.
☀️
Thank you for always having my back, answering when I need you, and just being you.
☀️
Have the most amazing day today! 🎉🥳

Focus on the process, not the outcome. Life is a journey and you’ll ALWAYS be working on something.

Don’t be so hard on yourself 💜
Just keep working at being better, that’s improvement too
(perfection is not a thing) ☀️
