It’s no lie I’ve been running off lots of chai & coffee this past year (for a few years really). Lately, while sipping on some hot beverages, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking & reflecting. 

You might know this but I’m very much opposed to setting new years resolutions for myself. It’s more about the intentions and purpose for me - being intentional about life, relationships, friendships, and commitments is where my mindset is at.

I take every single day as a moment to learn & grow. And experiences influence so much of our growth - this last year I was challenged, I stepped outside of my comfort zone and tried many new things, and I let go of things that have weighed me down for far too long.

So, going forward, my intentions are such: 

✨more community building and advocacy work through here and my non-profit the_lotus_movement platform because the last few years have proven how mentally and physically drained many of us feel & the work needed to re-build and foster caring and genuine spaces focused on community care is apparent 

✨pour into my entrepreneurial endeavours and passions - something I’ve been afraid to do but again, through some recent experiences, I know nothing is impossible

✨continue to build on my name and brand - if you’ve been here long enough, you’ll know my whole intention of being on social media was to share thoughts & perspectives on motherhood and life as a women of colour - there’s still so much awareness & understanding needed on why this is important

✨but you know what beats all of this: being a healthy mama to my littles - this means focusing on rest and resets and remaining present with the understanding that I do the best I can every single day

Phew that’s a lot of reading BUT if I can, I encourage you all to stop your scrolling for a minute and think about what intentions you want to pour your energy into not just this year but as you continue to grow in your life.
