The Word of the Year

-


 Tomorrow is New Year's Eve! Can you believe it? Again, I cannot. I'm still trying to wrap my head around how I blinked and it is the end of the year. 


All-in-all it wasn't that bad. It started off a little squirrelly but once March 1st hit, it seemed to be smooth sailing. Sure, there were still bumps along the way, but that's life and I kept moving forward. 


I think the word for 2024 was, “Lessons.” I had my fair share of them—from saying goodbye to starting new… It was all about the lessons. I think maybe that's why this year went by so quickly for me because it was a constant rotation in adapting. I was never stuck or felt stuck. There were plenty of sad moments, but I allowed myself to grieve… I just didn't stay there. 


There were plenty of amazing moments too. Landing in NYC to recharge after a very intense week in Paris. Sticking my toes in the Caribbean Sea after being hospitalized. Having a moment of clarity so I could return to myself. Taking myself out of my comfort zone so I can challenge myself. 


These moments all added up and I am grateful for the good, the bad, and the ugly… Because in the end, it was all beautiful. 


I'm not really sure what my word for next year will be… I have a feeling I won't know until the very end. But, I am open. I am ready to take 2025 by storm. 


Life is what you make it and there is always a lesson to be had. An opportunity for change and a tiny chance to do things differently. 


Seize the day and may you all have a fantastic NYE!

Sleepless Nights at The Chateau...Visualize

  When I say it’s been one hell of a wild ride this month, that’s no exaggeration. I have said on repeat, “Someone pinch me...this can’t be happening?” Because that’s exactly what has happened. Things I’ve been hoping for and wishing on every night since I can remember are coming into fruition.   I can’t even really describe it...because I have no clue why the fuck this is all going now? Especially now. Shit. Like. This. Doesn’t. Happen. To. Me. And I’m not complaining...I’m over here like, “Hell yeah...I welcome you with open arms.”  Still...I can’t get over the surprising manifestation of it all. I’m shook y’all.  Smiling and stoked but shook.  I have put a huge amount of effort into the things I want my life to include and I got especially descriptive last year. I guess you could say, being in a locked down state...gave me no other option than to truly focus on these other tasks at hand. Tasks, before the pandemic, I dismissed    then got angry when...

  Hi! Happy Thursday. I'm not really sure what is going on but my blog is exploding with readers.  This is the most exciting feeling ever. So, thank you!  Anyway… it's almost the weekend and since the surge in views has me motivated, I wanted to share a “mixtape” I made that inspired my first book,  Falling Backward .  Falling Free  will have an equally wonderful playlist but I won't share that until December when book two officially comes out.  For now though and because  Music is Life … enjoy this magical, musical selection. And if you like it or have enjoyed my other posts and what to support me even further, I'm attaching my book link as well. Let's get this thing sold!  Cheers, to goals! Cheers, to you! Cheers, to us!  https://spotify.link/n3vePIWdhDb  Falling Mixtape/Book One https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1639886672/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?ie=UTF8&qid=&sr=  The Book!

Bury The Moon

We are constantly evolving. Who you are now will not be who you are later. The key in this transformation though....is to keep walking. To keep discovering...to keep uncovering layers and parts that are no longer necessary. To discard and build on as you see fit. To just keep being and doing and actively participating as the protagonist of your story.  Life is meant to throw curve balls and not every day or year will be a highlight of the century....but those curve balls are still essential details to the chapters you write.  Evolving indicates growth...and no matter how grown we think we are, there is always room for more.  This year, much like previous ones has taught me about patience...and not just patiently waiting for my life to get where I fully want it to be but to have more patience as whole. I’m learning some parts of me need more silence than reaction because my knee jerk reactions don’t solve most things, in fact they tend to make things worse. I will admit th...
