Feminine Habits for Intentional Living
Hey Love,
I had a recent conversation with a good friend about the habits that speak to our souls. Normally when we think of habits, we conjure up images of exercising, eating a balanced meal, and sleeping on time. All of these are of course ones we should pursue, but the conversation leaned towards the more subtle things that we do that gives us a foundation to live our best each day. What came to mind for me are the feminine habits I have embraced my whole life, yet only in recent years conceptualize are essential to my being. This is the topic I want to delve into today: 5 feminine habits to intentional living.
Living in Washington, DC: A Political Perspective
Hey Love,
I hope you're staying safe and well into the new year. As many of you know I recently moved to Washington, DC. Like you, I watched what happened on Wednesday, January 6th, with a great deal of indignation. As a Black woman living in this country for two decades I am not shocked or surprised this happened. I'm not surprised that those rioters were treated better than anyone with my complexion who protested for our right to live a fair life ever was treated. It's the LEVEL of which they were essentially escorted around the Capitol in their fail coup that was indignant. I'm writing this post less than 24 hours after these events occurred about 4 miles from my apartment. Though I'll probably post this much later. I'm not upset this happened, afraid in any way, or worried about more attacks. As I've shared before, there is good and bad in everything. Good can come from what happened on the Capitol. Here's why:
How to Keep January's Energy All Year Long
Hello Love,
Happy New Year! I feel like all we did last year was talk about the year itself. Please, let's leave that energy in the past. This year, I'm hoping to spend more time having discussions about the things that make me happy, inspire me, and fill me with hope. This time of the year can feel so rejuvenating. We're leaving the hustle of the holiday and the past behind while making way for a new beginning. I love this time. However, the energy of January is difficult to sustain as the year progresses. It is nonetheless possible to keep that motivation most of us are feeling right now throughout the year. Like you, I don't know what we're in for in 2021. This time last year, I was setting my goals and making plans like you probably were doing for how I wanted to live 2020. We all know how that year transpired. It was a difficult year, even if you had your health and job. Millions lost a lot, globally. The energy was just different in 2020. I don't know how 2021 will transpire, but I do know that I want to live as best as I can come what may. So in this post, I'm sharing five ways I've learned to be consistent and accomplish my goals in the most dynamic of years.
