I have not completed just yet. I will work on some things like my vision board and reclamation statement this weekend. While I was down I had the hard conversations and even went within (to do heart work) when the anger, fear, and objections came.

@Brandi Rojas I am keeping my head down and doing the work.

I’m finding out that restoration isn’t passive it’s a strategy. That softness isn’t weakness, it’s a sacred recalibration. Also that I can hold space for others and still protect my own. That my formulas, my trials, my sourcing, my tears, my playlists, my silence all of it is part of my whom I am becoming ministry. I’m finding out that I don’t need to explain my becoming. That my legacy doesn’t require permission. That I can remix grief into guidance, and overwhelm into offerings. That I’m not just building a better me but out of this a nonprofit I’m building a curriculum, a movement that I never knew was in me. I’m finding out that I am the product. Not just the candles but the clarity, the conviction, a teachable, soul-nourishing resource. I’m finding out that I’m not behind. I’m in alignment.

Day 1 and 2: Reclamation to me is the opportunity to revive a thing that’s been left behind, dropped, or damaged. I’m reclaiming my voice.
