Random Thursday thoughts after an emotional meditation that kind of felt like a breath through

1. Integration of past selves is painful and yet freeing, especially if youâve had a very traumatic and abusive childhood. Learning to find your worth through affirmations, patience, self compassion and work takes time.
2. As I wasnât raise with a âcode of principlesâ, Iâve been thinking about what I want to pass on to my own child, especially in these times and this racial climate. #OnCode behavior is something Iâve been ruminating over for months now in regards to the impact I want to leave on
the world and my community. I truly believe that by healing ourselves, we heal our world, and I want to really focus on my health and well being (physical and mental), using only sustainable products that are vegan and eco friendly, becoming debt free, and giving back in one
form or another.
3. I want my daughter to be a free black child, and to love and respect herself so that she can love and respect others. I want her to be surrounded by people that look like her and people that reflect the values I instill her, and to put her race and culture

above everyone else. This almost seems radical, but when you think about it, itâs what everyone else practices, and I believe that is the foundation of #OnCode behavior.
4. I am diving deeper into self development, and learning new skills to expand myself and my businesses. I never want to stop learning or growing as an individual, as this is how I get complacent, and complacency might as well be death imo.
5. I am moving away from negativity and making myself aware of it when I am around it or being negative myself. Itâs very easy to fall into criticism, whether I am criticizing someone else or myself. Practicing grace and extending it to others is a new habit I want to develop.
6. Trusting the process of divine timing or intervention, learning to be patient with myself and what I am building and not getting down or anxious when it doesnât work out when or how I expected it to.
7. Getting up at dawn. This has been a goal of mine for a long time and Iâve finally worked my way to getting up with the sun. Itâs the best time for me to get a cup of coffee/tea, plan my day, reflect and meditate.
