......And maybe it's about who you become after the fact!

Hey Queen, it's been a minute. I'm sorry we haven't met as often as we usually do. Life has been moving SOOOOOO fast, but it's been amazing and I'm so thankful.

Sooo let me tell you what I did today, brace yourself. I CRACKED MY PHONE. Yea I know your hearts are dropping in disbelief but it's true. It's shattered.

Surprisingly though queens, I'm okay. I'm not mad and going off into my typical tangent where I blame any and everyone who's around.  Wanna know why? Because I've grown.

Okay so whats the point of this story? Well I want you to take 2 very important things from this.

First and foremost queens, please celebrate your small victories, the minor battles. I say this to you time and time again, it is the small victories that win the war, that get you to where you want to be. Sometimes where we want to be seems so far away, and thats okay because good things don't come easy.

What I'm asking of you queens is to not act like the road won't be hard, because that's not reality. What I need you to do is to acknowledge points in your journey when you may not be exactly where you want to be BUT you ARE FAR from where you WERE. And that, that my queen is a testament in itself to your true strength.

Every step of the journey is a celebration for the simple fact that you are still going, you are still moving forward. Understand this very fact queens, you only lose when you stop trying, when you give up. Don't give up.

My second point is simple. There is peace in remaining calm when the rest of the world is expecting you to react, blow up, break down and fall apart.

Unfortunately there are people in this world who want to see you fall, unhappy, etc. The truth is that ugly in their heart will only affect them, not you.

So do me a favor, remain in your peace, walk in your truth and move forward, one step at a time.

I want to remind you of one more thing and then I'll let you get to your weekend.

Time is everything.

It is important to understand queen that the world doesn't stop just because we make a mistake, our phone breaks or we're angry. Unfortunately that's not a luxury given to us.

But what I can tell you is that time is precious and to spend it wisely, because I for one know that we don't get it back.

So if your phone cracks, you could spend hours on in upset....or....you can decide that you're going to get it fixed, get Starbucks and go about your day.

It's not that I wasn't disappointed that my phone was broken, because I was and I still very much so am. The point is that, that phone isn't the end of the world. It's fixable and I am still okay.

Sometimes it's not about what you lost. Maybe life's about what you gain after the fact, who you become.

I love y'all! Stay Strong!
