My kitchen is my sanctuary. It's where I come to meditate, to prepare food for my family, where I spend lots of time cleaning, writing, manifesting my dreams. This corner was a huge mess for the longest with herbs and spices, stuff I barely even use and it feels so good to have cleared it out. It's the perfect little photo studio. I've learned to love being in my own presence, when in the past I used to run to this one and that one for love and affection. I had to go deep to stop doing that and wait for someome that truly aligns with my heart & soul I don't watch the news, I don't do drama or dwell in negativity, I don't date, I had to cut so many people off over the years, I literally just try to keep my head above water and stick to my sobriety so I don't d1e. My life has become quite simple and I like it that way. I do miss the highs but I know where those lead to and it's best to stay somewhere in the middle, even though it can feel a little boring at times. It's been 2 years I haven't slept with a man and let me tell you, intentional celibacy is the most powerful thing anyone can do on their healing journey. It's how we take our power back. For women, it's how we clean and detoxify our womb, our sexual organs, and reclaim our throne. Being with the wrong partners can drain us emotionally and dim our goddess energy, not to mention all the physical / hormonal problems that arise from the toxicity. For men, semen retention and restraint is incredibly powerful for them to boost up their life force, increase their focus, tap into their higher purpose, regenerate on a cellular level, fix deep rooted health issues, and even helps them manifest their dream partner. I'm not sure where I'm going with this I just wanted to share my clean kitchen and I went on a tangent 😂 all this to say take care, find joy in the little things. You don't need anybody to make you feel good about yourself, make the best decision for your highest good and if you slip up, just dust yourself off and start again 🍒
