Hi friends,

It’s been a minute, but I am back! Thank you all who have been with me from the beginning and welcome to those who are joining. It is such a beautiful pleasure connecting with the community again. I was speaking with my mom the other day, letting her know that I am bringing the blog back and she asked what sparked this. Honestly? Life.

For the past year, life has presented me with obstacles I’d never thought to face. But, in these past months, I’ve also been blessed with revelation, wisdom, and Godly counsel, all of which make me the woman I am today.

I have come to face countless job rejections, navigating motherhood while single, recreating a social life, and getting back into the workforce all while growing my relationship with God. They say if you want to make God laugh, make plans. Well, I think he’s had a comical time with me. As you all know, I had my firstborn back in October of 2022. Of course, when having a baby comes numerous planning and lack of sleep. No one could tell me that I didn’t have a plan. Actually, I had three. None of which worked out the way I desired.

If you’d asked me how I felt a year ago, I would have simply said lost. Getting back into work was hard. Healing from a breakup felt never-ending. Navigating motherhood while trying to socialize seemed impossible. All of which, again, I did not plan to go through. But that was the issue. I was focusing more on my plans than the works that God was putting in place for His plans. While experiencing what I did, I realized he had been setting a seat for me at the table. He was growing me into the woman He had already designed me to become.

It’s not that the outcome of my plans wasn’t possible. I wanted to become the best mom I could be. I wanted to show my son what love resembles. I wanted to nurture a beautiful life for my family and me. I wanted to become a successful creative and career woman. But, I stopped making God my focus while reaching these desires. I started focusing on the stresses and not the blessings.

This all led me back here, with you, writing and diving into my creativity. My divine femininity is what I’ve been calling it.

A year later, I am back recreating what I have love while keeping God at the center of it all and cherishing His plans. I am excited to journey through this new beginning of femininity, creativity, and empowerment with you.

So, cheers to living the best life God has planned for you.
