Independence Day! Celebrating freedom and liberation
Hello Queens and Kings! Happy 4th of July! This holiday is supposed to be about United States of America gaining their Independence but I decided that I am going to celebrate someone else’s freedom and independence. That person is myself. In my last blog, I talked about how I was making the decision to leave my hometown (Atlanta) so I could live a better life. Well, I did that. Tomorrow will make 1 week since I have moved out of Atlanta and into a new location. I came all the way to the West Coast so I could be as far away as possible. I also do believe that the West Coast has a different energetic vibration that I really like to be around. Not only am I celebrating my new found freedom but I am also celebrating the fact that I have officially finished writing my first memoir which I will be publishing and releasing very soon. I cannot provide many details just yet but I had to change my environment so I could finish writing. Now that I am done, I feel liberated. I have to admit that I used to feel stuck in my trauma. Writing my book has been very therapeutic for me. I felt like I was able to release a lot of emotions that I had repressed from my childhood. Now I understand the value of self expression. Healing is not a linear thing. This is something that happens over time and you get better the more you focus on it. I have been on this healing journey for the past 5 years however I have been wanting to write a book about my life since I was a teenager. I knew that I had a story that the world needed to know about but I was afraid. I was afraid of what my oppressor would think and the people who have played a part in my trauma. I was afraid of being judged for what I had to experience as a result of my parents death. I was also afraid of receiving backlash from friends and family for exploiting myself until I realized this very thing: You are responsible for the life you want to live. You cannot depend on other’s to understand the life you choose to create for yourself. Therefore if you allow yourself to be miserable because of what you have been through then you have no one else to blame but yourself. You can choose a better life if you become fearless. Eliminating doubt from your plans will allow you to execute them! Not only am I free of doubt but I am also fearless when it comes to sharing my story. I feel FREE to express my true self. I believe my story is powerful enough to help impact people’s life in a positive way. This journey of life that I have been on has not been easy but because I have overcome so much adversity, it is only right that I share my story to help motivate and encourage others to do the same. My waist beads have helped play a part in my healing journey as well which is why I want the women who support this business to have access to my book first before I release it to the general public. This is my way of saying Thank You to those who have supported me because of who I am and all that I do. I cannot wait to share my story with you all. It feels so amazing to feel free of pain and sorrow. I feel liberated from my childhood trauma but I know that my healing journey hasn’t come to an end. We are all on this journey but on different paths. I will meet you half way there!
Happy Independence Day!
Love Always,
