Life Has Been Life-ing

It's been quite some time since I last put pen to paper. Life has a way of getting me caught up in its whirlwind, and I've been feeling a bit disoriented lately. I miss the grounded feeling I used to have, back when consistency and journaling were my companions during my incarceration. It's ironic how life on the outside can sometimes make me feel further away from myself.

These past few months have been a whirlwind, and I can't help but admit that I've been feeling overwhelmed and off-task. The endless stream of responsibilities, be it home life, my growing business, health, or personal relationships, has left me feeling like I'm being pulled in a thousand different directions. It's as if my inner compass has temporarily lost its way.

So much is happening in my life right now – from exciting developments in my business and various brands to personal relationships and health. I'm incredibly grateful for these opportunities, but it's time to level up. With less than two months left in 2023, I'm here today with the support of some dear friends, charting a strategic end-of-year plan to propel me forward.

There are some thrilling announcements on the horizon, ones that have brought me out of my comfort zone and into the light. For someone who used to hide, these steps are making my heart race with anxiety. I've even found myself biting my nails and eating mindlessly. The gym, my sanctuary, is the one thing that helps me maintain some sense of balance.

I know it's time to refocus, not just on my health but also on my emotional well-being. The consistency I've been lacking needs to make a comeback. This journal is where I'm starting, but it's just the beginning. Here's to the journey ahead, filled with self-discovery and growth.

With anticipation and resolve,
