Women and mothers are taught to nurture others first. That becomes our primal instinct.

I love taking care of people, whether it's my kids, my friends, or strangers. I feel like that one of the many things that I was created for but I never understood what it meant to take care of me. I did not think I had the right to connect with myself, pour into my cup first, or practice discernment over what made me feel good.

This journey has been years in the making and so many amazing women have supported me and uplifted me while I stumbled and fell. Including my own daughters.

There was a time when I couldn't wait for the year to be over for a fresh start but I have to tell you, I loved 2025. Well, starting around May. From May on, the universe opened my eyes and gave me the same energy that I gave myself.

I am taking up space. I'm am not reducing myself or settling. Life can start fresh at any point, at anytime. You get to decide how you want to live.

This is my Her Era✨....creating, writing, advocating, smiling, embracing, loving, and living. No apologies. No rules. Just me and all my heart can hold. ❤️

Until we meet again, October🍂🕸️🍂

I turned 45 last week, I sat in awe of my kiddos and basked in every moment , I took lots of quizzes and exams, I sobbed over papers that allowed me a place to share my heart and experiences, I wrote more flashcards, I had to push through on the nights I couldn't make dinner because I was doing schoolwork.
I reminded myself every day of October why I was doing this. I read stories of women from thousands of years ago, solidifying their place in the world as they passed their legacies onto the descendants. I watched stories of far away tribes, read about culture and society. Asked myself so many questions...that still need to be answered.
This October was much different than last year. I've lost people, I've gained myself, I consumed and covered myself in strength and have made a conscious decision to rejoin the outside world in all of its mystery.
