Because when you look good, you feel good! ______ 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 ______ Me and my friends have this conversation quite often. We uplift each other with words and speak straight to each other's spirits but at the end of the conversation, we make sure to account for what we've done for ourselves!! ______ 🥰🥰🥰 ______ In an effort to maximize my self love efforts, I did a whole wardrobe do over. My closet was full of clothes that I either liked but never really wore, bought because one day I would be the right body size to fit in it, or I bought it because I wanted the courage to change my style but never actually went through with it. The end result of years of shopping was a closet full of things that weren't "ME". 🥴😣😞 🧥🧦👗👚👙 Piece by piece, I changed that. When I bought a new shirt, I found an old one that had to go. If it didn't fit "ME" today, I got rid of it. I noticed that the clothes on my body felt increasing more comfortable as...

Marriage is about committing to growth. People tend to commit to who the person is at the time without allotting room for change......just sharing my thoughts. I'd like to think I know something about marriage considering it's something I want. Considering it's something I did before....for all the wrong reasons. But that's just it. Next time will have to be right. Because I've done it wrong so many times. Relationship after relationship down the drain. Time I'll never get back but of course it's all with a smile. It's like cutting all your hair off for a fresh start. Next time I'll have more experience. Next time I'll have more understanding. Next time I'll be patient. Patiently waiting.....but there really is no such thing as wrong. There's just either you tried or you didn't. I didn't try before. I ran. I cowered. I hid. I pretended. Fake smiles. Forced happiness. Shrunken personalities. Everything except a good ol...

You... uh..."working" again? John Wick: No, just sorting some stuff out. Except.....I am working again. Working harder than ever. In more ways than I expected. I'm still trying to figure out where I found the time but I don't dwell on it because I am BEYOND grateful that I found the time. Found the time to meditate daily. Found the time to say my affirmations daily. Found the time to write BOOK NUMBER 3 ((shameless plug😏😏)). Found the time to manage 3 IG accounts && continue to share the rawest pieces of me, little by little. Found the time to raise my child. Found the time to live life with him. Appreciate the sun and fun with him. Found the time to have mommy friends. Found the time for playdates and health and sleep. Found the time to eat ((because moms rarely have that)). I even found time to myself. This post was for gratitude and reflection and a moment to pat myself on the back and give myself a hug. I found the time to find ...

Because sometimes I think I'm too young for "crow's feet" 🤔🤔but then I remember that  I have a 4 year old && I usually look tired because  I stay up late trying to work on my personal/professional goals ((or occasionally catch up on a show that I can't watch when @just.jamelw is awake)). 😊😊😊 31 with "crow's feet" is just fine with me. I'm completely okay with having it show that I could use a nap after I've spent the whole day living it up. This set comes from an impromptu roadtrip to soak up some rays while cleansing in the sea. My spirit was in need of a trip to the water. 😏😏😏 I can rest tomorrow!!! #livingmybestlife #crowsfeet #improturoadtrips #HiltonheadIsland #nofilter

Because one of the hardest things I've ever experienced is the healthy relationship after the toxic one. ______ 🥴🥴🥴 ______ In a perfect world, there wouldn't be a toxic relationship.....but in the one I exist in, there's been many. Soo many terrible relationships to taint my view. 🤔🤔🤔 All in all, I wouldn't change a thing for the world. I wouldn't change the butterflies or the faux love or the expectations or the broken promises because that woke me up. ______ 😊😊😊 ______ When I met the man who inspired me to continue to bring forth the peace within, I had to take a hard look at myself. I had to see who I really was, flaws and all. I had to explore strengths and weaknesses I didn't even know I had. I found a beauty in me that I couldn't see until I laid eyes on this man. The healthy relationship comes with introspection and a mirror that will pick you apart faster than some women can pick apart their bodies. But it also comes with an abundanc...
