I had a wonderful week and weekend (don’t forget to check out my birthday post). Made sure to get some time outside whether on break or after work to get some grounding in. Energetically I’ve been feeling a lot! So the grounding is needed.

How I ground: I always imagine my feet sprouting roots and the roots going deep into the ground, to connect with the roots underneath. I imagine myself absorbing the healing, loving, positive energy from the Earth, from the surrounding plants and animals. I also ground by touching the grass and the dirt. Gardening is a great way to do this. 15 mins daily is enough and I always feel better afterwards. Other ways of grounding can include the food that I consume. I pick ingredients that come from the ground, like potatoes, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin, etc. Also by consuming cacao and other herbal methods.

Rosie knows a thing or two about comfort and naps.
I was treated to a mani and pedi. Went with green. Shock.
Made a bath.
The Universe showered me with flowers this weekend.
The best “chicken” sandwich I’ve had. So freakin tasty!
I love different/exotic looking flowers.

I am writing this on Sunday. Sundays are my self care, setting the tone for the week ahead days. I prepped my meals for the week, my workout routine for the next two weeks, sorted and got rid of clothing (mostly Adrian’s outgrown items.

And now I am just relaxing ready to unwind for the night.

I wish you a wonderful week!

August 26th! My 38th Birthday! This day I woke up a little later lol and had some lunch at the Buffet. I was craving white rice with beans and ended up adding a lot to my plate. It was a delicious mix haha. I took a picture but don’t think any one wants to see it.

I woke up admiring my skin color. I wanted to get a few shades darker while away. And that was something easy to check off my list.

I also racked up on the toiletries lol. These will be used on other trips.

The day was another sun filled one by the pool and then the beach. My favorite way to Vacation!

The bar staff were very attentive! I’ll admit one was flirting with me. Got me the best seat. And my cup was alway being filled 👌🏽

This was my favorite bathing suit on the trip. I just loved the color and the fabric. Although the same name brand as the blue seen in previous post, the material is softer. I purchased the last one in this print and Small size. They have MANY color/fabric options. You can purchase your own here: https://amzn.to/3BnqSp0

I also wore my white cover up when in the eating areas or very public areas. Although the resort was adult only, I’d do it for my own comfort. You can purchase one here: https://amzn.to/3zBV4ME

Here’s another Amazon find! My water proof flip flops. They don’t over heat in the sun, are 100% recyclable and are available in different colors: https://amzn.to/3XLsdNQ

I think when I took this picture was when I felt a wave of emotions wash over me. Or was it while I was reading? Not sure, but I remember laying on the chair and feeling this wave take over my body. And I just started to cry. I cried because I missed my mother, because I was so happy to be back where we (my family and I) were all born. I cried over many things. But my mom being the main one. I felt her energy. It was as if she wrapped me up in her arms.

This was my favorite day at the beach. It was intentional. I cleansed in the ocean, I spent time sitting and laying on the shoreline and just letting things out and go. I believe I was feeling the effects of this for about a week after I returned home.

On my way to my room after the beach. I got kind of “lost” lol. But didn’t panic and just decided to keep walking. I found this flower in the middle of the path. I felt guided to take it and accepted it as a gift from the Holy Spirit and my Spiritual team. This was just another example of the many “special” things that happened to me while away that reminded me. I am not alone. I am loved. I am protected.

When I got to my room. I was greeted by this beautiful surprise. It was arranged by my Butler Phillipe! ☺️🫶🏽

It was time to get ready for my Birthday dinner. I made reservations for 7:30 PM. It would give me time to eat, and relax and to make it to that night’s show in the Theater.

It’s no surprise that the color choice was green! It’s been my color. It’s the color that matches the Heart Chakra and it’s one area I’ve been actively working on and healing.

Outfit details: Body suit is from Lulu’s, shoes from Schutz, and Handbag from Anthropologie. Accessories are from a jewelry curating small business on Instagram and from Amazon: https://amzn.to/3zwWsQJ

And I was off to dinner. I went to the Italian Restaurant Portofino. I had their Salad, Tomato soup, and Potato Gnocci (which I still think about). The food was delicious. I didn’t get dessert since I knew I had my chocolate cake waiting for me in the suite.

Off to see Queen! The show ☺️

The show was VERY entertaining! I had no idea that I knew and loved so many of their songs. I ended up sitting next to my suite neighbors. We’d always find each other.

My cake was delicious. My entire day although emotional was delicious. After the Queen show, I went to the main lobby where they had a duo of Salsa singers covering popular songs. I danced. And met two angels that I know were sent specially for me. This chapter has already proven to be significant. A lot of shedding. So much shedding and letting go of things that no longer serve me. That shit is not easy. But I’m going with the flow. Letting go and letting God.

Thank you for reliving these fond memories of my special day. I hope I’ve inspired someone out there to go after what it is that they want. Even if others don’t understand you. Just do it for yourself. I know one things for certain. I’m going away again before the end of this Calendar year that’s for certain. Solo? Accompanied? Who knows?!
