A Safe Space

Hey, Loves…I know I know it’s been way too long. I’ve been putting a little energy into the social webs but I have not forgotten about my first love…my blog. And I am back because I am learning so much and seeing things so clearly. My move back to my hometown of Miami had some great surprises up its sleeve.

 What I’ve learned about myself is that in order to be at my best, to feel inspired and motivated, I must feel a sense of safety. I learned that it is important that I be grounded in a space where I can feel most like myself. Starting fresh and living with my dad for the most part has a lot of positives. But for someone like me who cherishes my authenticity and my autonomy living in a home without my footprint can be hard. This is a beautiful full circle moment for me, but I needed to create a space that reflected my style and energy. In all the places I’ve lived on my own, in my adult life, there was always a place where I could let down my hair and be refreshed. I realize that this is a vital part of who I am. This was not the time to forget that.

 So, in my own room where I spent my teenage and young adult years, I decided to add my footprint and make it my own. It turned out to be a great idea. First, I added fresh flowers and I started feeling a little more at peace. I went on to change the comforter and sheets and I felt like a new woman. There was also a feeling that I didn’t think I would experience. I realized that as a teenager I felt so powerless in that same room because the way it looked had a lot to do with what my parents chose to buy for me and back then to be honest my room did not feel like me. So being able to come back and make it my own, filled a place in me that I didn’t know needed to be healed.

 I am treasuring every lesson I’m learning in this season. I’m learning so much about my needs and learning ways to make sure those needs are met and that my soul is nourished. I am being so much kinder to myself. The same kindness that I’ve extended I’m leaving space for some of it myself and it feels great. I’m leaning into the help and rest I’m receiving. Take it from me do not ignore your needs and the things that you can do in your life to make you feel safe and grounded. I realized that I can only operate from my best self when my soul needs are met. Pay attention to the things that help you fly.

 With Love,
