My Journey Today

Today is Oct. 1. The first day of the month of my birthday. In 17 days, I’ll be 33 (insert here: “whew chile, you getting old”). Funny enough, I’ve never been nervous about growing older. Since my 20’s, I wanted to be 40. I daydreamed that when I turned 40 that my life would be its best (and that three divas would come to celebrate my day like Aretha, Gladys and Patti celebrated Oprah’s).

At 40, I would no longer care what people thought of me and I would go with flow of life. I would personify a self help book and sound like Eckhart Tolle.

But as someone who tries to plan every moment, it is scary to trust the Universe. It is scary to let it flow, be patient, live authentically, practice self-honoring love and hold up boundaries. To remember when bad shit happens that everything will be okay and that overthinking will not always bring the answer. Hmm. Maybe that’s at the core of my journey today: faith.
