Hey Friends!! It feels like it's been a hot minute, but really it's been like 6 months since I've dropped a new episode. With 2021 coming to an end, I wanted to hop back on the mic and reflect a bit on the year. This year has given me a lot of revelations and clarity on my personal situations and choices that I need to make, and I wanted to share some of these gems with you, in case they resonate with you too.
Looking forward to all that 2022 has in store for each and every one of us! Only claiming abundance in our lives moving forward.
Welcome in the new year, by listening to Amanda Gorman's newest poem, "New Day's Lyric"
Happy New Year and cheers to 2022!!
Until next time, take care, stay safe and stay connected with me on social media (IG and Twitter: loving_breezy)!
Love yall!

Hey friends! We made it to Episode 10!!! This accomplishment alone deserves a whole celebration! It has been quite an exciting and interesting journey. A huge thank you to everyone that rocked with me from the beginning, joined along the way, and provided unconditional support for my vision. Words cannot even begin to describe how grateful I am for this experience. I know this is just the beginning of something great. I am looking forward to wrapping up this season and excited for what is to come in the future!
Last month, many of us celebrated National Mental Health Awareness Month.

**This week marks a year since we've been in this pandemic. Take a moment to reflect on it all. Who knew our worlds would change as drastically as they did? So many lives lost, and our hearts are still aching their presence. It's been difficult to find joy in a year full of so much grief. But hope gently reminds me that better days are coming our way. It's taken both strength and resilience to be here & it is what will continue to bring us through.**
