I’ve made some important decisions.
I will no longer be a martyr. I will no longer find comfort in taking one for the team.
I will no longer put every ones dreams before my own. I will no longer attempt to fit my dreams inside someone else’s box .
I will not be afraid of what is beyond the surface, I will meet each challenge with bravery, strength of character and pureness of heart. I
will continue to listen to Egun and allow them to inspire and guide my progress.
I will open myself to the possibilities. I will not deny myself happiness, I will pamper myself, wear heels and make-up and get my nails and toes painted twice a month.
I will continue to be creative through my writing, parenting, dance, knitting, bathing and anything else that brings me joy.
I will not depend on anyone to tell me what is right and wrong what’s best for me and the way I envision my destiny.
I will no longer be self effacing, I will big myself up every chance I get, I will try not to become arrogant
I will try.
I will no longer pass up opportunities to shine I will stay faithful to myself first, my art second and my other relations on a sliding scale thereafter.
I will build a better relationship with money, I will stop convincing myself that money is evil and that I should not have it.
I deserve to be comfortable and surrounded with beauty and light and images and accouterments that encourage my creativity.
I will begin to live with passion and share the warmth of the fire that is bubbling inside, choking me, threatening to do me in if I don’t let her out. I will scream occasionally, just for the fun of it
