I wanted to share more lifestyle posts in 2018, and I’m so happy that I did. But make no mistake, there was LOTS of food involved! My Top Nine doesn’t even touch the tip of the iceberg. These little squares are only a glimpse into the amazing, challenging year that I had. My theme word for the year was: RECOVER. After a few years of ups and downs, I made a commitment to myself to find my way back to ME. It wasn’t easy by a long shot, but through it all, it was a great year! God is SO GOOD.
In 2018…
I got to share more of me with you.
Traveled to Wakanda and they treated me like royalty.
I participated in my first Peachtree Road Race (The largest 10K in the world) and my first Turkey Trot 5K ever.
I told depression, anxiety, and grief to kick rocks! And even when it didn’t want to, I handled it with grace.
Grew real LIFE vegetables in our garden, y’all! (See IG highlights and let’s connect while you’re at it)
I got to see Beyoncé LIVE! (IG highlights)
Went to the opening weekend of The Equal Justice Initiative in Montgomery, Alabama ANNND got to see Stevie Wonder Live! (IG highlights)
I was CROWNED alongside some pretty amazing women.
I read over half of the books that I planned on reading.
Reminded myself over and over again that I will return back to the pavement. And I am, slowly but surely.
I met Hillsong Young & Free** and got to see them Live for the second or maybe third time. (Clearly, there’s a lot of live moments here, lol) **III album is one of my top favorite albums of the year, btw!
Set boundaries and released anything that did not serve or support my highest good.
Served with the greatest team on the planet — The DREAM TEAM.
I stayed true to me.
I kept going.
I was blessed with amazing opportunities.
…and I created some pretty dope recipes!
I seriously can’t wait for 2019! Through it all, I LOVE what I do! This is where passion meets purpose. I’m beyond grateful to have this space to share, learn, grow, and connect! I can’t wait to see what is in store for the new year, and I already know it will be a year full of JOY, PROMISE, and DREAMS FULFILLED. I can feel it! As the younger gens say, 2019 is gonna SLAP! LOL!
Thank you for sharing this space with me! Wishing you all a crazy fun and ABUNDANTLY BLESSED NEW YEAR!
