Happy 2024! That’s an affirmation I had to tell myself. Because one thing for sure is that 2023 was a year chile! How many of us say this every new year though! I realized for myself that I was am guilty of this. However, when I thought about my last statement, I concluded that I am thankful that I made another year. More importantly I am blessed for the experiences this year gave me. There is no real structure to this post but I will share my heart in prayer that it helps you too!
Intentionality – Learning how to show up for myself has been a hard thing because I realized that I am a strong person. It makes it challenging to reach out and actually say to my close friends that I need help or having a hard time. Now I know that I have to be more communicative because people do not function off of unspoken expectations. This has been a breath of fresh air because everyone needs someone.
Spirituality – My relationship with God has grown closer than ever before. Growing up as a PK (preacher’s kid) you learn how to “play the part.” Now I realize that I need Him more than ever. What has helped me is learning complete stillness. Sometimes we can get so caught up in motion, that it’s in those quiet times when God speaks to us the most. I love God dearly, the least I can do is listen and answer to Him. He has now been the focal part of direction; even when I want to do it my way, haha!
Accountability – In myself and my goals. I took some time off social media and it was well needed. Social media is a blessing, but it can also be a distraction that causes you to lose focus of what really matters. I’m choosing not to be hard on myself based on what I feel I should have done, but I’m now relying on my future actions to determine my next.
I plan to go after everything this year has for me. The beauty in this is that there is a new blank canvas to write more of your story. I challenge you all to do the same. Happy 2024! xoxo

Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

Thank you for this. I I can relate to having an accountability problem and also stronger and closer to God do you even through the hard times. Being still to hear God speak !! It time to break free and Go with God
“People do not function off of unspoken expectations “ whew! That part. Loved every bit of this blog Sis ❤️
It’s the being still part that’s key! In those moments are when we really learn to trust HIM.
I’ve learned this the hard way. Had to ask for forgiveness and forgive myself for not being cognitive.
