The Mood for this month is Luxury.

Last month was a transitional month for me, after months of craving a change of scenery and overall a new life I drove cross country from LA to ATL. While it was fun and exciting it was was also trying, revealing and transformative. I had to let go of old habits and situations that no longer served me as well as get real with myself about the life I want to live and the blocks I was allowing to stop me.

While on my road trip I came across this blog post, How to Attract A Life Of Luxury & Abundance, reading this blog made me feel spoken for, seen and understood. It was like a confirmation that I was on the right path to the life that I want to live. My focus this year has been on manifesting abundance and the luxe life of my dreams and apart of that was unlearning and relearning so many different things. One of them being guilt associated with the life I was manifesting, I had people making comments about my lifestyle and making assumptions about me. But I had to reinforce the fact that showing up as my authentic self may rub others the wrong way simply because it shines a light of whatever they feel they are lacking. But honestly, that has nothing to do with me and I have to be okay with nay sayers if that means that I am happy.

So I made a vow to myself that this month was dedicated to me and my evolution. I am in a cocoon season, growing stretching and allowing my new self to unfold. I am focusing on letting go of things I can’t control, self care, visualization, manifestation and getting super clear on what I want and who I want to become. I am tapping into my divine feminine, indulging in simple pleasures like weekly fresh flowers, getting my nails done, expanding my fragrance collection and adding pieces to my wardrobe that honor who I am in the present. I am allowing myself to dream, act and live in abundance. Most of all I am honoring myself in ways that feel authentic to me like turning off my phone notifications, deleting instagram, taking time to read, lathering myself in shea butter while saying affirmations and wearing cute pajamas and lounge wear. I am actively creating my best luxe life, it’s truly all in the details and I am definitely already seeing the fruits of my labor. I feel like I am shining brighter, the shea butter is definitely playing a role but also my inner happiness is just oozing out of me.

Now don’t get me wrong, all of this hasn’t been easy at all. I have been experiencing imposter syndrome, loneliness and confusion at some points. But you can’t have the peaks without the valleys, so I’m charging it all to the game. One thing helping me through the growing pains is my support system, I have a lovely group of ladies who keep it real, motivate and push me to be my best self without them and God I don’t know where I’d be. I am really coming into my own and loving every moment of it. This month is all about honoring where I’ve been, where I am, and where I’m going as I cultivate the life I want and deserve.
