How do you feel when you look at the stars? #bloganuary
This is a Divinely prompt!! As I prepare to connect with January ’22 second new moon tonight, I can’t help but anticipate the appearance of the night sky adorned with countless stars. No more than about 5 nights ago, without prompting the words ” I am in awe of you” parted my lips. I gaze […]
Describe yourself as a tree. #bloganuary
At first glance the eye is drawn to lush, deeply rich green leaves that without question are visibly healthy and nourished. Various shapes and sizes, leaves that begin at my crown and gracefully adorn branches ranging in length and size. Adding contrast to the lush greenery is a trunk, my core, powerful and approachable. Lively […]
Intentionally Ashley
I was super intentional about 2022’s intentions : ) I don’t feel the need to resolve anything in particular, I do intend to participate in the realization of my intentions! After allowing myself the space to settle into January ’22’s energy, I created an intention board and awaited its arrival from the printer. I was […]

January has been full of excitement and inspiring ideas, this has required […]
Where do you go when you need solitude? #bloganuary
I am a true nature baby any time I need solitude I make my way to a park; brimming with huge trees, bodies of water, & animal friends to admire. More often than not, when I need to center myself, reflect, and/or simply “be”, sitting in the park is a delight. Currently my favorite is […]
What is your favorite part about yourself? #bloganuary
Currently, my favorite part about myself is my personality. I am learning to appreciate and acknowledge the fact that I am likable while attending to feeling as though accepting a compliment (from self and others) is somehow arrogantly prideful. My January ’22 intention is to place mindful attention on myself and in doing so, I […]
Write about what makes you feel strong. #bloganuary
It could be observed that as a woman of color in America, there is space for me to have a complex relationship with being perceived or identified as strong. Actually, I had recent experience with someone referring to me as strong and I notice resistance to receiving what was intended to be a compliment. Noticing […]
Write about a dream you remember. #bloganuary
Nearly a year ago, I was awakened by a pure and simple feeling of supreme joy. Before parting my lids, I immediately recalled the most vivid imagery of being presented with gift by a woman adorned with beautiful cocoa kissed skin. Without need of verbal confirmation, it was clear that she was loving, wise, and […]
