MY POWER - MY VOICE!

Beautiful People, how are you! I hope y’all are having a wonderful 2023 thus far! I shared a post on my Instagram about betrayal and forgiveness. We all at some point will experience the act of betrayal…it’s something that we can’t avoid. Yes, it’s a hurtful thing and it would be so wonderful if there was a “pill” we could take to make the hurt go away, but there’s not.

For me, the first thing I needed to do was to “process” what happened. When we are betrayed by the ones who we love, it’s a totally different hurt from someone we don’t really know. For instance, if someone I didn’t personally know left a negative comment on my social media post, I could easily delete it and I wouldn’t be bothered…..but, if I knew the person and it would my heart and my feelings.

For me, I had to forgive the person who betrayed me, and the forgiveness was for ME!! I couldn’t let the person have the kind of control over my life, that whenever I saw them or heard their name, it would make me feel some kind of way. Don’t get me wrong, I couldn’t be friends with the person again, but I can truly wish them well and pray for them.

Know that GOD has so many wonderful blessing for us on the other side of the betrayal, so we must work through it all to come out on the other side. There are new beginnings on the other side. While I was going through the process, I started seeing a therapist and I prayed a lot y’all….a lot!!!! Take this time to get to know yourself, I mean really know yourself!

Now let’s chat fashion…..I love pairing unexpected pieces together, like a sweatshirt with a tulle skirt. This cute sweatshirt was part of the Black History Month collection at Target, by designer, Black Boy Be and the tulle skirt is from Anthropologie! Thanks to my friend and oh-so-talented photographer, Unix for capturing the pics.

Thanks so much for stopping by today….I truly appreciate you all! Have a FABULOUS week…..xoxo
