Self Love Requires Honesty | #SLS

Image
I've come to realize, the hard way, that I've had and still have a lot of healing to do! Self Love is not an overnight thing *insert Percy Sledge song*. It takes time to reach a comfortable level of contentment with self. It's a journey; one of upward toil but one of positive growth. In our journey of Self Love, it is integral that we seek to know ourselves, accept who we are and live freely in our truth.  In seeking to know and embrace our truest selves, a process of self reflection and introspection helps. The trauma; experiences that we go through have fashioned us into the persons that we are today. Our personalities, our self esteem; the way we interact with others, our imposed standards, our expectations are all influenced by the way we see ourselves; by the way we think and feel about ourselves.

2019 #GOALS | Part 1

I'm currently in the process of making plans for the new year and I was inspired to share my thoughts and to start a conversation on special causes & awareness, resolutions, goal setting, and creating a financial plan. This week is Crohns & Colitis Awareness Week. Spreading Awareness of these Diseases are important to me because a friend of mine who fought Crohns valiantly, died in 2016. Supporting the awareness helps me preserve and honour his memory. Joel Reginald Richard, you will always be an example of true tenacity and what it is to live a purpose-driven life regardless of life's burdens. I'm also inspired by Actor, Tyler James Williams'  (Chris from 'Everybody Hates Chris') story. He's a Crohns Survivor. #ManOfPower Joel Reginald Richard By Curtis H Photography | @heiscurtish Tyler James Williams by Sammy Roenfeldt | @sammyroenfeldt You can visit my Instagram Account @CupcakeDelect and check out my...
