Self-love; she don’t play!
Growing up, I always appreciated a good read. I have vivid memories of myself as a young girl going to the library and going way overboard! I would get ten books at a time just because ten was the limit. Which is silly because I would never finish them all. There’s just something so intoxicating about the smell of an old library book! Something about the feeling of its worned pages that I still love til this day. In my teenage years though, my addiction for books was replaced with one for clothes and makeup (sigh!). Now as a woman, I wish I would have cultivated a healthy balance between the two and kept reading more! Although I still very much love reading, more often than not, it can be difficult to finish a book once I start it #momlife!
Recently, one of my friends got me a sweet gift. It’s a collection of poetry called The Sun and Her Flowers by Rupi Kaur

In January of this year, as many of us like to do, I made a New Year’s resolution list of the things I wanted to accomplish for 2017. My theme for the year ? Newfound freedom.

For the longest time, I have been wanting to use the blogging platform as a creative outlet to share about life and the things I love. Unfortunately, one of the biggest “time robbers” many of us don’t like to admit we’re somewhat familiar with, stood in the way. It goes by the name of Fear….
