Girl, where have you been?

So many things have shifted in my life since December. Good things, not so good things, just okay things too. I am experiencing new relationships, opportunities, and ideas all at once. It is truly a year of rebirth and redemption for me. I hope to write more in 2020 but I am not going to pressure myself. I am going to continue to write when I feel pulled to.

I did something major today. Something I said I would never do again — I clearly love being a hypocrite. I launched a new podcast and I am really excited to see where it takes me. I hope it inspires me to write more, love more, and understand more. I am always working towards being more compassionate and graceful.

The podcast is called Give Them Their Flowers. It is a podcast about PRAISE and PURPOSE. I vow to give people their flowers while they are still here. I think it is important to praise people for all of their accomplishments, not just the ones that society deems important. I believe in loving on people now and not later. I believe in holding myself accountable by making sure I recognize those around me in ways that encourage and affirm them.

I remember the feeling of isolation and abandonment. I remember vividly the feeling of doubt and those moments where imposter syndrome was beating my ass. I still have those moments but they are not as intense because those that love me, affirm me. Those that love me give me flowers daily. My garden is full of beautiful compliments and words of encouragement. My goal with this podcast is to fill people’s gardens. My goal is to create beautiful bouquets and hand them to those that deserve them the most.
