It’s Okay!!!

Today is a hard day for me, but I have to remind myself that ITS OKAY.

It’s okay to be sad.

It’s okay to be mad.

It’s okay to cry.

It’s okay just fucking OKAY.

So for today I’m going just feel, but tomorrow I’m going smile, laugh & be okay!

Helloooo Me, Hello October

Good morning,

It’s been a while since I have written and I’m sorry about that. I been all over the place these last couple months. My heart was broken, I was lonely and depression came back and it was wining. I felt like I couldn’t shake it. With that being said, I’m trying to get back to myself. I’m trying to find my narrative again. Find out what I want again.

I encourage you to put one foot in front of the other today. To smile. To laugh. I also encourage you to cry. To scream. To yell. Let it all out. Let out the pain and anger so tomorrow you feel as though your finally finding yourself again.

Much Love Ebony 💜

The Aftermath

Afternoon loves,

Yesterday I didn’t get a chance to blog because I was at the funeral with my friends. When I tell you it was the hardest day in my life, I’m not joking. When my friends cried over there son it broke my heart because you could feel there pain. I never want to hear or witness pain like that in my life.

All week I was racked with quilt because I felt like I couldn’t help her. As I sit and type this it finally hit home that I can help her. I can be there for them while they grieve there son. I found a great quote that I feel helps with grief.

It’s going to be a while before they start the healing process. I want you to know. I will sit there and hold you while you cry. What your both going through has to be the most painful thing in the world. Know your not alone.

When your ready to start the healing process I will be there too. For a long time I struggled with the things that happened to me. I didn’t understand it. Why did God pick me. I am now coming to the realization that God picked me because he has a purpose for my pain. He has a purpose for me and I believe that is to help others. Guide others.

We go through some of the darkest days of our lives. During the storm we don’t see the light but we do come through it. And we are stronger than before. I know your in your storm right now but know that God has a purpose for your pain.

Anyone that’s reading this. The same applies to you. Trust in him. Trust his purpose for your life.

Inspiring Others💜

Morning loves,

Today I am a little bit more upbeat, than I have been these last few days.

Sometimes I meet people who think that there lives won’t ever inspire others. Hell even I think that but we forget that whatever we are going through can help someone. That roadblock you were on and got through, can inspire someone to get through there’s. That new job you were scared to go after but Finally Did. Can inspire someone to follow there dreams. That bad breakup you got over when you didn’t think you could but DID. Can inspire someone else.

So don’t think your story can’t inspire others because it can and to myself baby girl your story can inspire the masses to so don’t you forget that. (Sometimes in need that pep talk too💜)

Inspiring Others 💜,

Sorrow

Morning loves,

Yesterday I received some devastating news my good friend son passed away. He was going to be two this month. I wish I knew what to say. I’m usually the person that always has something to say but this morning my mind is coming up blank.

Have you guys experienced anything like this? If so what should I do? What should I say?

Advice is much needed. Thank You💜

Face Your True North

Morning,

Cheers to having a blessed and prosperous Monday.

It took me a while to understand that I AM NOT FOR EVERYONE. This message really spoke to me. Reminded me that everyone won’t like and that’s okay. Everyone won’t love you and that’s okay too. What’s not okay is keeping them around. So here’s the message :

Did you read it?!? I know it’s a little long BUT how I loved it. I mentioned in a previous post that I went back to someone who I know didn’t love me but I loved them. Well this explains don’t do it. Continue on a path of purpose and fulfillment.

You are not for them and they are not for you!

How I loved that sentence. Don’t waste your time on someone who YOU know is not worth even an ounce of you. Keep on in the right direction.

I hope this message helps you in ways it did me.

XoXo,

E

Medating

Morning Loves. Rise and shine!!!

Last Friday with my therapist she helped me mediate. Let me tell you it was so calming and relaxing. Now I have tried to mediate in the past but it did not work but with the help of my therapist it was amazing.

Everything was relaxed. The reason why I started to mediate was because I suffer from depression and I am really scared about taking medication. I come from a family of drug addicts and it scares me to get hooked on any type of drug. So I want to find more natural ways of helping with my depression rather than taking medications. Mediation is really good for the body and it helps me with my anxiety.

There are different ways to mediate. Do some research and find what works best for you. As for me. I don’t need music. The lights have to be dimmed down low. I have to guide myself into it with deep breaths starting wth my feet and working my way up to my head. This relaxes each part of my body.I also say breath in love and acceptance and breath out pain and anger. I stay in a relaxed state for about 5-10mins.

Give mediation a try. Relax your mind and body.

ps,

Buddha was asked what have you gained from mediation? 

He replied “Nothing! However let me tell you what I have lost. Anger, anxiety, depression, insecurity, fear of old age and death.”
