So this weekend was the first weekend of yoga training for me and it was amazing! It's amazing what will surface if you journal right after a yoga practice or activity. For me, the one thing that came up over and over in one practice is that I used to be a runner. It came out of nowhere too. I was like 'huh????' This caught me way off guard , but I know it needed to come up 💁🏾 .... but I digress I used to run from uncomfortable situations... noticed I said used to. I had to own this truth ...then start to process it ... and own my truth. I had to figure out what was inside me and draw it out.... had to do some soul searching. Being in an uncomfortable situation for me used to mean it was time to escape to the next place or thing ... time to move on.... It was this weekend that I realized I was never grounded.... I never firmly planted my feet somewhere... this is why I was a runner. I never would allow my feet to feel stability 🤦🏽‍♀️ I'll have to see what else comes out of the experience from this past weekend.... for right now I'll continue to ponder what it means to be grounded.... to be truly planted 💭 #balancingacts #ownyourtruth #dealwithit #dealwithyourtruth #vibratehigher #positivevibes #livelovelearn #process #ownyouremotions #openyourselfup

Balancing Acts? What does this mean? Balancing Acts is encouragement to women/men everywhere to find BALANCE in their lives! So Balancing Acts is an act in which you find balance in all areas of life.... Balance in your career... Balance in family life... Balance in healthy eating... Balance in working out... Balance in finding quality time with self... Balance in your spiritual life... Balance in your Relationships... When we find balance in these areas; life is a little easier; Peace is more readily available. And at the end of the day; we all want peace right? For instance; I feel myself finding more 'balance' in my eating. I've been vegan for about a year and 2 months 💁🏾. I'm super proud of my period of living a solely vegan lifestyle. I'd been pondering on if I should add Salmon into my diet for a while now; just because I could use the nutrients that come from Salmon. Tonight I decided to cook Salmon for dinner, and I said I'd eat fish maybe once a week. For me that's finding balance. I'm thinking of it as Balanced; Healthy Eating. I'm excited for this new journey ✨💞 So..... what are you Balancing? If you took a scan of your life; what would you say needs Balancing? 🤔 #balancingacts #findbalance #findbalanceinlife #healthymeals #healthyeating #fitness #health #happylife #healthylife #livelovelaugh #livelovelearn #vibratehigher #goodvibes #positivevibes

What I'm learning is that you can't allow how other people view you to control your energy and vibrations. You can't allow their thoughts, opinions, and/or negativity to lower or interfere with your vibes. You are the CEO of the VIBES you radiate into the atmosphere. Know that other people's perspective does not dictate the true essence of your being. Don't worry about changing those things that are out of your control. Focus on what you can control and go from there. Look within yourself and determine how you can add more love, peace, joy, and light into the world. Own your truth .... and .... continue walking into your DESTINY. ~Peace and Blessings~ #balancingacts #peace #love #ownyourtruth #ownyourvibes #vibratehigher #goodvibes #lookwithinyourself #live #love #life

What does it mean to create SPACE? It means to open yourself up to the possibilities To open yourself up to a new realm of thinking To be excited about the journey I think that creating space teaches us that there's beauty in the process You never know what you're going to learn on this journey, and creating space teaches one to enjoy every moment. The highs and lows... It may seem like a puzzle initially, but eventually the space you've spent so long creating becomes filled with bits and pieces of your destiny and purpose ... So look at every day as a learning experience to add to your tool belt... It'll all make sense one day; I promise **fingers crossed** #createspace #vibratehigher #enduretheprocess #keepgoing #nevergiveup #dontgetwearyinwelldoing #livelovelearn #buildyourtoolbelt #liveoutyourpurpose #liveoutyourdreams #liveoutyourpassion #stepoutofyourcomfortzone #createthelifeyouwant #thinkofthepossibilities #goodvibesonly

Random thought: So I was thinking 💭 about something as I was listening to this album by Solange. Solange's mother, Tina, does a little snippet about being proud to be black. I was re-listening to it when something came to me. To be Pro-Black means you are proud to be black.... you're proud of your ancestor's accomplishments despite of barriers. That's when it hit me. To be PRO-black doesn't mean your anti-white... it just means you're PROud to be BLACK ✊🏾 #proudtobeblack #blackhistorymonth #loveself #loveyourhistory #knowwhoyouare

Shout out to Solange for winning her first award at the Grammy's. Nothing but good vibes towards her and her sister, Beyoncé! I love this movement to celebrate women; but most importantly African American women... From 'Lemonade' to 'A Seat at the Table'.... these artistic compilations are an Ode to the BLACK Woman! What a beautiful time to be a Black Goddess. Let's keep this energy flowing ✨ #blackhisorymonth #blackhistoryinthemaking #positivevibes #meditation #blackfeminism #intersectionality #intersectionalfeminism #letgoodenergyflow #blackgoddess #blackgirlmagic #doubleconsciousness #befree #keepthemomentum

After much contemplation of today's events across the nation I was encouraged to ask myself this one important question. What women have greatly influenced my life? This is what I came up with. Wanda (mother) gave me my love and passion for education.... for higher learning.... Sabra (auntee) gave me my spirituality.... Ashley (auntee) gave me my VOICE.... With those 3 ingredients I am an UNSTOPPABLE WOMAN 💞❤️️💁🏾✨ #inallwaysawoman #balancingacts #vibratehigher #knowyourworth #knowyourhistory #knowyourworth #youareabeautifulwoman #youarepeace #youarelove #youarevaluable

So I've been vibing out to Tasha Cobbs the last couple of weeks. Her music has been speaking to my spirit. I'll keep it short and simple ... sometimes when you pray for something..... or if you're desiring something? Sometimes you just gotta put a praise on it! So don't worry.... stress yourself out.... or question God's ability! Go ahead and put a praise on that situation! #putapraiseonit #balancingacts #vibratehigher #nostress #noworries #godfirst #listentoself #letthespiritguideyou #remainsteadfast #remaincalm #letgodwork

I hope everyone is having a great day!!! Wanted to stop by with a little encouragement for 2017. Yesterday I was talking with a friend and Holy Spirit instructed me to be Sacrificial and Surrendering in the new year! I learned to sacrifice last year by giving up animal products. I would say learning to sacrifice sacrifice helped me open myself up to all possibilities... it taught me discipline and how not to deviate from a plan or path. To allow God the chance to cleanse me.... to make me new... Now it's time to surrender... to submit to God's will and plan for my life.... to abide in him and have his words abide in me (John 15:7).... read this scripture .... meditate on it ... I'll have to listen carefully in this season to every instruction he gives. I know I'll question and feel uncomfortable but I've got to act when he says to do so.... I've got to be obedient. To sum this up, 2017 is a season for sacrifices and obedience. As my pastor stated during Watch Night, 'Stay with the Lord in 2017' .... Produce in 2017.... let God work in this season! #balancingacts #godled #sacrifice #surrender #inspiration #staywithgod #vibratehigher #cleanheart #staythecourse #prayerworks
