My girl Toni Jones caught me right after my meditations and prayers this morning. “Take up Space” I love when Tidal does this, it’s like the song will send me a message or confirmation after. This mornings prayer was about operating from my heart space.

I heard no more being humble. I had to look up the definition to ensure I understood.

Why must I minimize me to be considered good? Who the hell came up with that?!?

I’m not humble about who I am, where I am in life, what I’ve accomplished and overcome and how I use my past to push me forward. I’ve faced demons most people would crumble in front of.

Divorce. Homelessness. Depression. Poverty. Low Self Esteem. I’ve faced the death of a child, my best friend/ cousin and parent and grandparents. I’ve been ostracized. An outcast. The weirdo.

Then I began to embrace me. I have a better word to use, worthy.

You better the space I take up, I’m worth it. See with all the shit I’ve been through I shouldn’t be where I am. I am worth the fuss. My merit got me here.

Divorced but I still experience love from within and God has blessed me with a wonderful partner, a king, that loves me unconditionally, covers me, encourages me, leads and guides me. He even loves me enough to challenge me to be better daily.

Once homeless, now I’m a homeowner AND the LANDLORD! My home is beautified and you can feel the love joy and peace when you walk in the door. And i got my own piece of Earth to tend.

Once depression and anxiety ruled my mind. Now I move with clarity from a heart space judgement free just living in bliss, regardless of the circumstances. Imma find my hope and peace.

Once I lived in poverty, we got enough money that we ain’t gotta worry about money. I DONT WANNA CHOOSE! In my CardiB voice.

I once had such a low self esteem and now I over flow with SelfLove so much that I help other women love themselves more through S.E.L.F.

After loss I’ve found peace with transitioning and learned to honor spirit, I know I’ve lost not one of them. My ancestors and loved ones look out just like they did on this plain.

And the once ostracized will walk in a party alone (no comfort crowd) and still show love and have a great time, if they join in or not.

The outcast found her tribe and I’m surrounded by those that love me and lift me up.

And the weirdo don’t give a fuck! I spiritually evolving and loving freely, fuck the judgments. I’m doing me.

I’ve earned this energy here. I’m worth all the fuss. I clap for myself. I’ll that I’ve faced and I still show up in love, regal and giving.

Thats not less important.

I earned this shit! I’m taking up space.

Because dammit I’m worth it!!
