Great rising, beautiful ones!
Survivors of Complex PTSD were often in need of a hero that never arrived, or came too late.
Lifelong recovery means re-nuturing, re-parenting, and rescuing yourself. Do the work to heal your inner child.
And in the words of poet, June Jordan..."We are the Ones We've Been Waiting For" (Poem for South African Women).

Great rising, beautiful ones!
Sometimes you've done all you can do. Now is the time to just be still.
Notice I didn't say to BE STILL and "believe". Don't just believe--KNOW.
Know that the Divine, mystical forces are at work and it is beyond your "doing" anything. Breathe deep. Be still.
To believe is...hope. To know...is faith.

💕My dad taught me to be unimpressed with boys saying I'm pretty or cute, because it is inconsquential.
💕He told me that boys treating me nicely is a basic standard not a gift...whew--took me minute to own that one!
💕He taught me to think for myself and see "smart" as a superpower. He taught me to own my opinions and be able to speak my mind effectively and eloquently.
💕He was flawed, but I never felt unloved by him. He remembered little things that mattered to me.
😥He died in 1990. I miss him terribly. He was a true

I dont know about you...but thank goodness God, the Divine Universe and all the ancestors knew better than I did at times.
Amen and asé!

Radical self-acceptance is a pivotal point for personal transformation.
It is one the founding principles of my Barrier Breaker (TM) Coaching System. It is a gamechanger!

Great rising, beautiful ones!
If you're trying to convince someone that your love is a gift, then they already don't deserve you.
You are special. Finding someone who gets that, understand your value and reciprocates accordingly is no easy task.
But when you do the effort pales in comparison to the benefit. Find a love that sees your greatness.

Great rising, beautiful ones! Beware of annihilation that comes cloaked in praise.
I am not a superwoman. I am woman trying to breathe...seeking to thrive.
Deconstructing the myth of the Black super woman--YOU deserve to be seen, supported and whole.

Great rising, beautiful ones!
Is your vision clouded with stinking thinking? Are whispers of negative voices taking up space in your head? TIME TO GIVE 'EM THE BOOT! 🧘♂️🏋️♂️🤺
You cannot manifest abundance when your behavior and thinking reeks of scarcity and lack.
You MUST believe in possibilities from somewhere deep inside yourself.
Everything we think, feel and believe manifests in our actions, ways and behaviors.

💯This is probably one of the most important posts I'll make this year... Maybe even in the past 5 years.
I have learned over many years to love myself in TOTALITY. This is me dolled up and me all natural.
I can honestly say that I thoroughly love BOTH pictures. One I took after a video interview with Cool Girls and the other I took two days ago sitting on my bed. I love me.
I can say it without arrogance because the journey has been laborious, intentional and long. I am a survivor of many things an overcomer of lots of things that were intended and designed to take me out.
I've battled:
🔥depression
🔥aggression
🔥violence
🔥r**e
🔥attempted r**e
🔥eating disorders
🔥misuse of alcohol
🔥poor self-image
🔥sexual abuse
🔥narcissistic abuse
🔥attempted su***de (2x)
Now I'm on the other side. 💕
On this side I am grateful. I am clear. I am self-loving. 💕
It is important to tell this truth because sometimes people see the mask and they think that that is all there is.
They don't know all that came with the image the picture the story.
We have to tell those stories because there's someone who is still on the other side...thinking that it's not for them.
They wonder if HOPE will ever bring them healing. I'm here to tell you that it will...IF you keep pushing, trying, wanting and holding on.
💕Today.. I truly love myself. I honor me. I demonstrate self esteem by doing esteemable acts. Thank you 12-step program.
⭐I'm not perfect but I am in awe of my own SURVIAL AND BEYOND!
Thank you for listening thank you for caring. I WISH YOU PEACE!

There comes a point as servants, fixers, rescuers, healers that we must come face-to-face with our own GOD COMPLEX.
And if your first thought was "never me"...then, it might just be you. But it's okay, because we can only change what we can acknowledge. 💕
So I am going to leave this one right here for reflection. 😉

You can only manage your side of the street. However, doing 'the work' on yourself is actually relationship work too.

Abuse is not okay. Violence is not acceptable. Nothing you did justifies being hit, hurt, or harmed. PERIOD.

Great rising, beautiful ones! These words have the power to heal heart wounds. I offer them to you today as a prescriptive tool for recovery and transformation.
As you read them, silently, allow them to soak in. Allow them to wash over you. Pay attention to the sentence/s that most resonates with YOUR being. You'll feel it. Then, repeat them to yourself and others as often as needed.

Great rising, beautiful ones. Be your unapologetic self regardless of who they want, need, say, or think you are!
Anything else is unfulfilling, unsustainable and way too much work. So be your beautiful, unique, strong, contrarian self...with RADICAL SELF-ACCEPTANCE.

Love is a contrary feeling. It is hard to describe, but you'll know when you have it...and when you don't. It's beautiful and rare.
I wish you an overflowing abundance peace and love, beautiful ones!

Great Rising, beautiful ones! Healing from trauma has nothing to do with willpower.
You can't willpower your way past abuse, pain and grief. It's a journey you have to walk at your own pace. It unfolds, happens in layers and compassion and grace are critical to the process.
You survived the trauma so that you could live. And you are worthy of that life!
