”2020 has been a year of epitomes for me. I turned 48. I’ve raised 3 children ages 26, 24 & 20 largely on my own & have 2 grandchildren that make my day everyday. I’ve had 12 trips to various places in the middle of the year of Covid.
🔻
I stopped choosing people that didn’t choose me. Stopped giving people’s opinions weight who aren’t contributing anything but hot air & like Cardi B said you know those who popped the most ish are the people whose ish is not together.
🔻
Your opinion of me is none of my business.
🔻
I’m taking audacious care of myself.
🔻
Been getting my haircut every month, getting my nails & toes done. Having regular massages, have acupuncture scheduled twice a month. Getting cupping done next week. I jumped in a hyperbaric chamber (yikes). Uber excited about having my brows done by @goodbrowsdmv in October. I’m in the gym 3 to 4 times a week.
🔻
I. Choose. Me.
🔻
Having coaching sessions with the amazing @mypowertalk. She’s the best! Joined a symposium with @sirjacobthomasglass with my friend @montecox. Went to Georgia for my friend @realtalkkim @rtkinnercircle retreat & made new friends like @beautifulmindbodynsoul
🔻
Beyond excited about partnering with @gigi010mcmillan & @indiapaulino to help women feel amazing! Traveling to Myrtle Beach and New Orleans with my kids.
🔻
Next week it’s time for another tattoo with @inkiadore. Yes more ink.
🔻
No matter what anyone thinks or says, this is my life and I intend to live it how I please.
🔻
In a year of confusion & chaos & uncertainty I finally found my center. Not that it’s perfect, my journey is far from over, in fact I’m just getting started.
🔻
I bought a ring from @fredandfar that showcases who I am. A boss, a force of nature, a friend, a mother, a grandma, a lover.
🔻
God is always BAE (Before Anyone Else) & is the only opinion I value. The rest of my life is going to be the best of my life & it starts today.”
