The year of the Baby Girl.

Happy New Year! | 2016.

Thank you Lord, for the fact that I am able to be counted among the living. As I always say, I love the new year, as it gives me an excuse to make changes. Yet, something that was profoundly and distinctively different about this crossover experience, was that there was literally nothing that I felt I needed to dramatically change about myself. Usually, I approach/enter into every crossover with the mindset of "new year, new me", but this year, I can finally say that one of the most important things that I normally pray and hope to improve in every single start of the year ( confidence) - I have a fairly good grasp of it... good enough to the point of not obsessing over it at the point of this crossover. In fact, I vividly remember that around 7:30 pm GMT, as my uncle was driving me over to London, I was so excited to crossover into the new year. These are all feelings that I normally do not have, but I am grateful to Him for having felt the way I felt. God is good - & I cannot help but attribute my feelings to the  all too important year out that I took. I thank God for discipline, for his mercy, and for his direction.


I look forward to the developments of this year, and as the first day of this year ends, I will allow you all, readers, a sneak peek into my thoughts concerning this year. Here's my approach, as it aligns with God's execution:


If you are familiar with the all too common quote - "Work Hard, Play Hard", then you understand what it means as well. I spent the past year working hard. Working hard to counter all of the negative things that had been a part of my life for so long - unnecessary and disgusting low self-esteem, low self-worth - all that which affected my academics, relationships, and so much more. All glory be to God, that mountain in my life has been demolished, destroyed, overcome, defeated, subdued. So now it is time to "play". This is where my "the year of the baby girl" mindset comes from. I deserve to "baby girl" it to the fullest this year. Wear makeup a little more. Doll up a bit more. Flirt a bit more. Smile and charm it up a bit more. Dance a bit more. Relax a lot more - not in every aspect of my life of course, but rather where it matters most.


2016.
Prioritize.
Pray.
Peace.
Positivity.
Happiness.
Appreciation.
Praise.
Plan.
Pray.
Play.

...Everything that I (mistakenly) told myself that I couldn't have.

Be kind to yourself.


Psalm 119:57-64
