Growth                                                        August 03, 2018 There comes a time in our lives where we must come to terms with growth, out-growth rather. You must change the woman you are to get to places and things we want out of life. In order for this process to take place, we must change things within and also the people around us. Like the saying goes...."You are the company you keep"! This was a issue of mine that I struggled with for years. However, over time, my mindset changed for the better. The woman I was before tolerated a lot of things:  excuses, inconsistency, heartache, drama,  stress, mental abuse, fake friends, the list goes on.  All the above drained the life out me.

Learning how to stay positive while the world is going to shit around us. We're living in a very trying time right now. Dealing with Covid-19 for almost a year now, on top of dealing with political issues, racism, and the deaths of our love ones has really taken a toll on our mental health.  We can't change the things that are happening to and around us.
