Fuel my fire…

I write this entry with a rekindled fire in my gut. It has been a while since I posted my last entry. Between my insane work life at the moment and vacation, I stepped away from my computer. Today that changes. I am re-engaging because this blog is absolute therapy for me.

The reason for the title, is that I have literally been fueled by close people in my life as well as a perfect stranger, to keep going. Keep sharing, keep empowering, and keep educating. I have received immense support and encourgement from my close girlfriends, my sister and this morning a perfect stranger.

I abandoned social media in the sense of my social needs, and created an Instagram account specifically for my blog. I have been introduced to a wealth of resources, people of all walks, and a world that has been foreign to me for too long. I follow Robert Kennedy, Jr’s IG page. He is an incredible man, whom has dedicated his life to speaking justice and truth. I recently commented on a post on his thread, which led someone reading the comments to look into my profile. I received the most beautiful message from this person this morning. I wanted to share the beginning of the message, because this is truly a major reason I am doing EXACTLY what I am doing.

” good morning, I would first like to tell you how much I respect you from just reading some of the things you have written in your website. It’s good to know that some people can see through the smokescreen and think for themselves. I respect you for being transparent and sharing your personal life stories and beliefs.”

WHAAAAAT?? I was blown away and so honored! We began chatting about how we will navigate our new forced normal, and spoke of keeping in touch as we stand on the same ground and remain united. There is strength in knowledge and numbers. Game on my new ally. Thank you for starting my day with a charge.

I also want to recognize and thank my sister and two of my close girlfriends for feigning for my next blog post. Here we go gals! Buckle up peeps, I have been saturating myself in knowledge and have so much more truth to share.

Much love and respect.
