Hello! I decided my first blog post would be an introduction. I have always had such a desire to help people but not sure how. For years I have been told that I should create a blog. I would always say no, and say that I am not a writer. Why would people even want to read what I have to say? But I realize now that I was operating from a place of fear.

I now realize that yes I might not be the best writer, but I do feel I have had experiences I can share that could add value and help others. Instagram really opened my eyes to the fact that I have such a passion for cultivating relationships with other women from all walks of life. Some I have never had the pleasure of meeting in person but they continue to inspire and motivate me on a daily basis.

With that being said, the branches that make up the "tree of Jeezy" includes reading, writing, spirituality, running, business, motherhood, the list goes on and on. They are all different branches of different interests but still part of the same tree. I refuse to label myself. I am constantly evolving and growing in my various interests. Some days who I am is the exhausted working mother who sits on the couch all day Saturday doing nothing more but eating takeout while reading and watching tv and on the flip side, there are days that the version of me is up early meditating, spending time with God in prayer, working out and at the office getting sh*t done! Both are beautiful. As long as you are being your true self at that moment, that is what truly matters. I read somewhere that "your mess is your message" and that really resonated with me.

When people would talk about their purpose in life, I would always sit there dumbfounded not feeling sure of what mine was. Today if you ask me "what is your purpose?" my response would be to help other women grow. When I got really still and listened to that voice within I heard loud and clear what God wants me to do. Women empowering other women is my jam! I feed off of it. It's what I feel the most in my core is my destined direction. In my mid-thirties, my life is more complicated than ever. It’s a never-ending battle of the "to do" list. I am far from perfect and I have bad days where I feel unworthy but I am also at a place where I feel more confident in who I am. Self-love and acceptance are a daily process and it’s one I truly work at every single day.

I plan on using this blog to discuss topics such as relationships, balancing work with family, books I am loving, wellness, spirituality, beauty tips and other topics that come up that I feel passionate about.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you become a part of this new journey with me and a part of the Life with Jeezy tribe!
