Today’s my birthday YAY!! I say yay but with most birthdays that have passed in the last few years, I haven’t felt a feeling of jubilation or celebration.

I asked myself the other day ‘what’s holding you back from the life you want to live?’ And I concluded it was fear.

I really pressured myself to get this post out before the end of last year. I was like ‘this is what everyone does you know and that’s what you’re supposed to do right? When you have a blog? Make sure you get that last post of the year in before it’s too late?’

I’m on my period. And with that comes the bleeding, leaking, tiredness, cramping, PMS’ing, the usual. For the last 20+ years it’s been a love hate relationship (more hate than love but I'm learning to give my body grace!)

In the literary words of our dearly departed princess Aaliyah, we really be going back, back, forth & forth when it comes to learning life’s ever changing lessons. The struggle is real ya’ll!
