There’s a level of growth you have to reach before you can actually let people in.

Not just say you’re open. Actually be open.

Recently I’ve been asked two questions I didn’t realize I needed to hear…

Do you need anything?
How are you?

I’m usually the one checking on everybody else. Asking the questions. Holding the space. And somewhere along the way I had to learn that receiving care is not weakness.

It’s growth.

AND I was finally in a place to receive it. Because I have become the kind of woman who can let that be true.

Safe, soft places to land are real. And so is the growth it takes to rest in them.

Your pace is not behind. It’s yours.

Drop a 💜 if you needed this today.

I did not put this shirt on just because it looks good.

I put it on because I know what it feels like to keep going when the road was not smooth. When things did not go the way I planned or the way I prayed.

When I was climbing and could not always see the top.

And I know I am not the only one. If you have been that woman — and I think a lot of us have — just know. I see you.

And nevertheless sis, you persist.

Bae said wear this one 😍

He said it’s my personality on full display. And he was not wrong.

I walked in exactly as I am. Full color. Full energy. Peacock print and all. No adjusting. No toning it down. Just me.

And if you’re reading this, I want the same thing for you too.
This week just show up as your full self in every space that you enter. Perfectly imperfect, and know that that is still exactly enough.

Cheers to an amazing week ahead. 💋🦚💜
