"2018, the year of becoming"....

Picture

Setting intentions as a collective is healing, affirming, and magnifying. ​It's nothing more joyous than physically supporting a dear friend in an environment crafted to set intentions and to define purpose. It creates excitement, hope, and accountability. Real #friendshipgoals. 

I listened to a podcast by Pastor Touré Roberts of One LA, who preach a word on New Years Eve. "2017, was a year of alignment and positioning, 2018 is the year of becoming". That message has been with me each day of 2018. 

2018 is our year to become all that we've set out to be. To start doing the things that we've been talking about. To set those plans in motion. To walk out on faith and make your heart's desires your living reality. 

I created my 2018 vision board with that intention in mind...to BECOME. 

Let's get to work!

Gratitude

,grat·i·tude
noun, the quality of being thankful


Through the ups and downs, good and bad days, let's remain thankful.
It's so easy for us to focus on what we lack that we ignore what we're currently supplied with.
One of my faithful mantras I've embedded into my life: "Train your mind to see the good in every situation" has allowed me to turn negative thoughts into positive confirmations.
Being positive and optimistic are actions. Two actions that sometimes do not come easy to us.
Bad days will never last forever. The season you're currently in may seem like it will never get better, but focus on why you're in this season. Why would God place you here? It has to be a reason and lesson(s) to be learned.

This post was inspired by my very first journal I began when I was in graduate school in 2013. Reading through my entries, I expressed an overwhelming amount of gratitude for my life. Reflecting on the season I was in during that time, I feel a certain compassion for that girl because she was in a space, career, and relationship that she thought wasn't ideal. She longed for more and she prayed faithfully to see her fruits bared. Looking back, knowing what I know now, God was positioning and aligning me for this very moment. From that, I take away to enjoy and be thankful for the current season we're in, no matter how good or bad it may seem.

Let's show gratitude, always.

32 days of SIngleness... Foreal

Cut the distractions.
Truly be alone in your singleness. Tackling any issues that have been caused by serial dating and relationships.

Find comfort in solitude.
It’s ok to be alone.

Take 32 days to evaluate the people in your life.

What are their intentions? What are your intentions? What purpose are they serving to better you? How are you bettering them?

32 days of reflection, stillness, and boldness.
32 days of not compromising who you are to please others.
32 days of removing people from your life without guilt due to attachment, history, or loneliness.

During these 32 days, strive to maintain purposeful, intentional relationships. Eliminate anyone who disrupts your peace and peace of mind.

​


There’s so much beauty
in getting still and being quiet

Practice finding peace
from within.

-Meditate on Love
