Rooted, you bloom wherever you are planted.
I believe we are interconnected to people like one big human family tree. Even in adulthood, I am still stretching out my branches because I am deeply grounded in love. Experience has taught me that relationships come with the potential to enhance our unique biographies and our collective story as well. Rooted, you bloom wherever you are planted.

I am the person no one worries about because I always show up when people need me. Whether it’s writing a character reference only knowing you a few months. It’s loaning money knowing you swallowed your pride. It’s offering consulting services at a reduced rate because you need help. It’s sending referrals because I support small businesses. It’s walking your dog while I have a 103 fever. It’s holding your hand and crying together because loss is never easy. It’s defending your reputation when others speak ill of you. It’s all because of love and friendship.
I am the person who says “I got it.” Even when I really don’t sometimes. But I always figure it out. Everyone thinks I’m strong and I have it all together when I really just deal with things quietly.
My super power is a trifecta of resilience, fortitude, and gratitude.
I don’t let other people down. I really am the multipurpose friend. I’m down for brunch, church, kicking ass, working out, whatever. Just let me know. I am there.
If you pay attention to the patterns of your life, you’ll realize everything always works out. Everything always takes you to a greater destination. You always grow and the things you think you can’t survive, you somehow divinely make it through. That’s life. Always remember that. Don’t be the kind of person to settle. Keep not settling.
Ever notice how every hurtful action ever committed can be traced back to a selfish motive? The painful pill to swallow is that we are all essentially selfish. Think about it. It doesn’t mean you can never experience happiness, but simply you don’t negate the happiness of others so you can enjoy yourself. The bottom line is that you either make decisions out of love for others or love for yourself. Whatever you put your time, energy, and money into will become more important to you.
This next part is a message for the people who are not in my life anymore. Setting boundaries is not unkindness. It’s self care. Never confuse the two. I never seek losing anyone, it’s the opposite. I always fear losing people I care about. So if I lost you, it means you hurt me to a point that I could not tolerate. If I lost you it’s because I chose to leave after I gave you millions of chances. No relationship is ever a waste of time. If it didn’t bring you what you want, it taught you what you didn’t want. So release relationships that require unhealthy heavy emotional lifting. Nurture relationships that offer a sense of ease, openness, and reciprocity. During this season of gladness and season of cheer, make sure you keep the peace in you as much as the peace around you ♥
