A Happy Nomadversary is in order for me, 🎂 as I celebrate my first year of living a freedom based lifestyle!!!👜✈️🌍💃🏾🥂 One year ago today I walked out of my loft having nothing to lose and everything to gain.✨ I wasn’t certain about the outcome, I just knew that what I’d been doing wasn’t working for me. 🤷🏽♀️ I couldn’t have told you that I’d be in Barcelona a year later, truly living the dream. I honestly wasn’t sure. I just knew that I had to do something that I’d never done to gain something that I’d never had. 🙏🏾💫 This year has been SURREAL! You see, I’m far from a trust fund baby. In fact, I’ve been left for dead, more than once by the very people that should have loved me. I’ve never had a blueprint for life, let alone success. Never had cheerleaders or people that would sacrifice much of anything for me. Never had nurturing or a soft place to land should I fall. All I’ve ever had is my instinct, and a desire to be and do more than destiny said I would. Things that so many took for granted I had to and still have to fight for daily.👊🏽 Let me tell you something. It’s one thing not to have support, but it’s a whole other thing when you have to fight for the right to simply be yourself in the midst of it all. 🙋🏾 I’ve always despised the fact that people view me and label me as “strong”. My strength is nothing that I worked to gain. My strength is a result of it being a necessity for me to survive and stay in my right mind. This year has caused me to accept it wholeheartedly. My strength was finally used for something other than simply surviving. There’s no way I could have done this had I been weak. The abandonment, rejection, hate, jealousy, lies, abuse, slander, scapegoating etc. are the very things I stand on. All the way over here in Barcelona, Spain, I STAND. Strong, fulfilled,humbled, grateful and certain that all things have always worked together for my good. It’s my Nomadversary ya’ll!!!!! 🍾🎊🎉Somebody pinch me! 😊 #iveonlyscratchedthesurface (at Nova Icaria beach)
