New Year, New Me?

I smell BS! 😂

I guess somehow you thought that this new year was going to be different because the last number of the year changed, huh? WRONG! First of all, where are my manners? 🌚

HAPPY NEW YEAAAR! 🎉

Welcome to Own Your Authenticity, the new chapter.

Now back to what I was saying. Babe, you can't be a whole new person, just by speaking it. I did not come on here to put you down. Instead, I'm trying to shake you up! I remember one year back in Jamaica, I had written "new year new me" on my mirror. My dad kindly scratched it and put "new year old me", and I was slightly annoyed. But looking back, it's absolutely true.

The year doesn't change anything. It just advances in time. What needs to happen, is you need to get off your ass, and actually act on all the things that you speak about. Guaranteed, 2020 was not what we expected. However, it pushed a lot of people to change in ways they didn't know were possible. When I started this blogging journey, never did I think I would also be making Instagram and YouTube videos. But guess what, my vision for this women's empowerment platform, goes way beyond writing blog content.

The truth is, every year we say things, and make vision boards, but very rarely do we put into action what we want to manifest. Do you know why planners never work for me? Because I get so excited to write in them, but I never actually have a strategy for what I write down! You're probably saying, "that's dumb". Mhm! But at least I can admit it. For all of you who have a planner or made vision boards or mentally jotted down all of your goals for the year or hoped that 2021 will be different, this is for you! None of it will happen without action. Life is great but it ain't magical.

I want to take you on a journey to becoming the best you possible. 2020 was hard. Don't wait until the woes of life wrap you up into a spider's web. God blessed you with a whoooole new year; a clean slate. Do something with it.

Give God something to bless...
