This is the 1st thing I saw when I checked my social media this morEning…
I needed to see this.
The gentleness.
The ease.
The care.
•
•
•
I hope that I am this way with myself and that as I practice this with myself I can be this way with others.
•
•
•
This looks like safe, sacred, nourishing, nurturing and healing space.

Hey y’all Hey!
I made time this morEning because when the Grandmothers and Aunties have to comfort me when I wake in the midnight hour, I MUST make time.
Check out my IG Live/Story today to find out what the cards and the Mother Board had to say.

Today I pulled inspiration from the @goldenthreadtarot (Labyrinthos) #luminousapirittarot app while sipping some green tea.
•
🌱 And it was a perfect reminder of the growing awareness happening and how I am assessing my goals and refining the process for my now.
👍🏽Some days I feel spot on, like I know exactly what I am doing!
👎🏽Other days, I’m looking for am adultier adult to help me figure some shit out.
🙌🏽 Thing is, I am now the aduliest adult for me.
I am in charge and sometimes that is scary as hell because what if I mess up?
🌗Welp, the Waxing Gibbous Moon (that comes every month like clockwork) reminds me that I can take time to analyze my missteps and take action on improving.
Yay, for that!
Yay, for adulting! (because I don’t really have a choice, so I might as well own it)
Yay, for reaching our goals.

🎶The moment I wake up //
Before I put on my makeup//
I say a little prayer for you//
And while I’m combing my hair now//
And wondering what dress to wear now//
I say a little prayer for you//
Forever + ever
you’ll stay in my heart and I will love you…
Forever + ever
we never will part… Oh, how I love you🎶
– Aretha “Auntie ReRe” Franklin

Hey y’all hey!
Happy Saturn Day!!
Got back in the Spirit Room this a.m.
Mixing, making and conjuring.
I sipped some Yerba Maté, repaired and upcycled some jewelry pieces (I just really got an understanding of upcycling and y’all I had no idea I been doing this for ages… Now I’m getting a sewing machine) and I made a new batch of Repel (insect repellent). •
•
•
Repel is all natural and made to order, as it jewelry…
Just DM/email (for now) to order.

Hey y’all hey!
It’s been a while since I have had insomnia…
But here we are at the close of the witching hour and yours truly is up working and sipping #Jasmine tea.
Actually, my body has been going into #polyphasic sleep cycle during the summer for 7 or 8 years now.
I’ve learned that it is a good time for me to reflect/meditate/create/recalibrate.
As the new school year quickly approaches, I am eager/anxious to get back into the swing of things, new opportunities and gaining momentum on existing projects.
The 1st half of the year was a bit of a bumpy ride as I was stretched into trusting the process (again).
The 2nd half is starting off smoother (that doesn’t mean that there won’t be/aren’t bumps and obstacles, I am mindful to remember trust in those moments.)
I’m looking across my desk now at my vision board and feeling elated at the visions that have come to fruition:
#myfirstessencefestival🙌🏾 spending time with family and #MumusSweetSummerATLBookParty and what is yet to come.
This second half of the year also looks a lot like the beginning of my 2nd act and I’m feeling very ready.
#GettingFree is reminicscent of the boldness and invincibility of youth, I am happy to be recapturing that and living forward.
I’ll be chatting about this and more on my #IGTV today (#TeaAndCrystals, What’s up with #TarotEveryday and posting consistently, and why The Grandmothers card may be guiding the 2nd half of the year).
