Wow so I thought turning 30 was daunting, it was! I knew it would be scary! It was at first but I am totally loving it, my body, my life, my family and friends but most of all I LOVE ME!!! THE WAY I AM AND KNOW I AM ENUFF!!! so it took watching Oprah farewell a few months ago and heard a father talk of what he learnt from Oprah Winfrey's show and passed on to daughter, and it was poignant. "I learnt to tell my daughter you are enough the way you are."
So armed with that quote resonating in my head, the light that had started lighting in me, became brighter and I decided, I know who I am and My Purpose and thus God has put me on this earth to do something and I started my Movement.
If I am where I am, this journey that started on January 2009, and have made it then anything is possible.
My new close friends noticed the change and growth in me, my family was a bit wary wondering okay There She Goes Again and I say Yes but this time around my work and impact shall speak for themselves.
For once I was not the one in crisis or having drama, but I have evolved into a confidant, mentor, teacher,life coach, and much more.
This new light has spilled over into my ever growing networks, career and as I shall soon mark one year in on-line news, wow is all I can say.
As a woman we were many hats that we forget to wear the important one: Ourselves and end up losing ourselves striving to please others, society , norms, superiors, children etc. I now know in order for me to be a well adjusted woman and be the daughter, friend, mother to be one day, wife to be one day, career woman, it has to start with me and I have to work on me.
Gone are the days that it is ok to sit and be handed the life you think you deserve, you got to go out there knowing what you want, identify it, focus and grab it and Most Of all HOLD on to it as it can easily slip away.
Another lesson I have learnt, now that I am 30 is not to waste time beating urself up on what could have been, but dwelling all my energy and effort and focus and prayers on WHAT COULD BE and attracting it. Even the most mundane of things, like a favourite dessert.
Life is so full of many possibilities, and once you have decided to focus on YOU, WHAT COULD BE and PUTTING GOD first, then you have the answer to my new found ever smiling self. That and surrounding yourself with positivity and positive people...I am allergic to negativity and keep it far!!!
