It’s been real March
Hey Faithers,
Happy Wednesday! Can yall believe that today is the last day of March? It has been a road to follow! Wheew! I hope you caught last week's blog! I got deep with you all! As we are closing March, Women's History Month, and Social Work Month, I am coming to you with some love, light, and reflection. March has opened my eyes to see the value of me. I have struggled with comparing myself to what everyone else looks like via social media. I have been tough on myself. I have had to take the most time ever to complete tasks for HSGF. I have been working on my taxes, on an audiobook for Everyone Has A Story, planning the Intention Sessions, Book Club, and grief groups! So, yes, I've been busy! But still, I felt like I wasn't doing enough. I did not give myself praise for keeping my A1C down. For those of you that do not know what that is, I am diabetic, and A1C is the test that people with type 2 diabetes take to measure their health. Despite what my body has been through, my body has kept me alive and is healthy! I have had multiple speaking engagements this month. In April, I have three trips planned. I have read nine books in 2022 so far. You all know I have been doing a lot. Oh, and don't let me forget, my community building is finally coming together. I even joined a community center, yall! So, I have been making strives. Being in therapy twice a week has helped me so much. I have taken social media off of my phone and only keep it on my work phone, which I do not carry with me. I have started to see my visions come to life. While my financial situation isn't where I want it to be, I have begun making boss moves like I already make more than a millionaire. I used to only shoot for 6-figures, but that is not enough. I have a lifestyle that I desire. I see that grief is getting more recognized. While grief isn't the beautiful sunset, the thunderstorm leads us to the light. It is the storm we endure to be able to look at the sunset for what it is and appreciate it. Once we start to understand our grief, we can heal no matter what that looks like. Once we see that healing is not linear, we can understand ourselves. This is where I am at. I am so proud of how my eyes have opened and what that has brought me. I am beyond proud of myself. January was quiet and beautiful. February was motivating and fun. March was eye-opening and emotional. I wonder what April will be? But whatever it is, I know I can handle everything! I hope that you feel it too, Faithers! Continue to love you the way you love the world!
