Today’s Sunday Funday looks a lot like getting my house together for my NYE guests who start arriving tomorrow, taking down my Christmas tree, and breakfast tacos on the patio because it is GORGEOUS in Texas today ☀️ I’m loving seeing all of the posts this time of year of people prioritizing rest. I have been finding that sweet balance of rest + hitting reset while also working my little tush off over here getting something special ready for you guys that launches in January. I’m sharing more tomorrow in an IGTV — any guesses what it might be? And if you’re on my newsletter list you heard about this yesterday, so don’t spoil it 😜 
Some moments + memories from Cancun that I thought deserved a permanent space on my feed before 2020 ends ☀️ also last slide is why Black weddings are my fave {swipe} 
the category is: bougie auntie 
Work tomorrow? I don’t know her. 
Can you tell I’ve been drinking water and minding mine? 👀 
Going to be an auntie x6 any day now. More than ready for you, baby gurlll 💗🤗 
I’ve been putting content together for a few events and interviews (!!!) and my “tag line” remains the same: living my best life on purpose. Last night, after I had written it for what felt like the 50th time, I started to really be still for a second and reflect. What does living my best life on purpose mean to me? Why did I choose to make this a part of my brand identity? I think we can all agree that living our best life sounds good, it feels good, it’s a GOOD thing. But here’s what I’ve realized over the last few years: your best life doesn’t just happen. You will not wake up one morning as the best version of yourself if you have not put in the work to become that person. It takes intentionality, discipline, boundaries. It takes purpose. When I know who I want to be, how I want to evolve, and what it takes for me to get there, I can pursue this version of me on purpose. Are you living your best life on purpose or waiting for it to just happen? 
How it started vs how it’s going. Did I do this right? 😂 Didn’t even mean to wear the same jacket from the day I moved out of our Indy apartment after J passed and the day I moved into my own home, but I think it’s pretty sweet this was the jacket I reached for this morning AND that I remembered this photo @sophie_herman snapped of me after helping me move out 🥰❤️ I can’t even put in to words how good this feels. HOMEOWNER. Can you even believe it? It’s so funny to think back on how much I thought I knew about the world growing up. “I never want to get married.” *meets J* “I would never live anywhere other than Texas.” *moves to Indiana* “I never want to own a home. Sounds like so much work.” *buys house* What else ya got, Lord? Your will is clearly better than my wildest dream. Shirt: @nopassbrand 
Two years ago I reached a point of burnout after J passed away that I didn’t think I could bounce back from. I was running from my grief and burying myself in launching a new business, podcast, web show, and working full-time at an exhausting job. I wasn’t prioritizing self-care and it was obvious. Fast forward to today, and I’m spinning even more plates than I was back then but feeling more balanced than ever. Why? SELF-CARE. It has become a non-negotiable part of my dream to done success plan. TODAY ✨ I’m joining this amazing lineup of entrepreneurs {swipe} for The Dream Big Retreat and I’m inviting you (yes, YOU) to show up with us. This event is FREE and an opportunity for you to take the next step to grow your business or brand. In my session I’m laying out 3 ways to incorporate self-care into your own success plan, and no, these aren’t your typical drink more water, get more sleep, self-care ideas. We are going deep on how you can ensure you’re in this for the long haul without burning out. Use the link in my bio to secure your spot and catch my session. I can’t wait to see you there! 
Now that I’ve had a chance to really wrap my head around this, I’m excited to share that I am officially a HOMEOWNER 💓 you guys know I have walked nearly everyday since March, but one thing I haven’t shared is how much time I’ve spent on those walks praying for my dream home and visualizing every detail: from the kitchen and meals I would prepare to the way I would style my hair for my housewarming party. Six months of praying and preparing for what I thought was my dream and even still, God said nah, sis BIGGER and brought me here. I’m long-winded af, but I’ll try to keep this one short. THANK YOU, GOD 🙏🏾🙌🏾 and thank you @sheadcassandrarealtorplano for being there every step of the way for my first home buying experience. I was planning to do an empty house tour, but swipe for how my first vlog went 🤣
