GIRL, FUCK THEM!
As I typed out that title, all that came through my mind were lyrics from Flo Milli “Family don’t like the way that I’m living, but they didn’t raise me so fuck they opinion!”

That’s a whole sermon hunty! Cause 2020 has definitely reminded me of how close I should be keeping some people in my circle.
Don’t you know I had been refraining from cursing on my online platforms “too much” because I didn’t want to appear unprofessional. You know, I am building a business and all insert eye roll.
I was raised to believe that you have to keep this perfect face on, as you enter the professional atmosphere. No locs, no dyed hair, no facial piercings, no visible tattoos… dadadadadadaaaaaa
It’s all bullshit if you ask me, honestly! We are basically telling people “if you want to be successful, you have to look and talk exactly like the prototype”…. because THE REAL YOU, isn’t like-able enough. No one will support you if you show your true self. Well, that’s what it unconsciously says.
Let me be the first to say.: You will be VERY UNHAPPY living a lie! So it is best to live in YOUR TRUTH. The people that are meant to be in your village, will show up in perfect time!
I go deeper into this concept in my book Live out Loud, which is coming up on its 1-year anniversary!
Instead of worrying about how people will look at you and create false narratives, it is best to just be the best you that you can be…
To the people who have a problem with your true self; FUCK THEM! Keep pushing and keep becoming a better you!
Everything takes Time
Sometimes, I see my goal right in front of me… so I run to try and attain it faster; not realizing I’m failing to comply by the law of divine timing.
In a world that loves to tell us where we should be, who we should be with, and how we should do it… it becomes easy to get stuck in a vision that was never related to our purpose.
Sometimes, we want something so bad that we become blinded to what is going on in front of us. We lose sight of the path we are on, because we start trying to run; instead of keep a steady pace.
What happens as a result?
As a result, we fall and begin to curse the ground for doing its job…. to simply be present.
…..all along, your job was to walk your path and keep your pace.
Sometimes, I see my goal right in front of me… so I run to try and attain it faster; not realizing I’m failing to comply by the law of divine timing. With divine timing, we must allow time to flow naturally the way it should.
We may see our dream fulfilled standing in front of us. But, if we run… we fall and miss out on the journey to receive the beauty of its essence. Not because we never make it to our destination… but because we delayed our arrival because we refused to follow the natural law of divine timing.
Beloved, if you are feeling weary or tired; please rest. All that means is that you are out of alignment with the divine clock. You will reach your destination. Just keep your pace.
