Ceremony is for my heart…
Each day I take this moment. This is my daily ritual for the past year. Days used to blur together - consumed by tasks, by a non stop work flow, focused on social media for business, too tired to truly laugh, too busy to spend a few minutes to respond to a friend or call someone I love to say hi. I hyper focused on many things I believed held weight. I was wrong. It’s okay to be wrong, it’s okay to hit pause & start over in the ways needed.
I woke up one day & I decided to just STOP. I made a plan so I could have the time I needed to adjust and I just stopped so I could work on me & it was honestly the best decision I have ever made. It started with a simple cup of Cacao & a once a week gathering of like-spirited women. I decided to stop caring about making a mark & I started caring about becoming. For me…status, money, how many people that purchase from me, how many followers I have…means nothing.
This is my truth.
What matters to me are the bonds I make, the relationships I put my heart into, the memories made. My babies, my husband, my heart, my smile, my best friends & whoa do I have some incredible best friends…I have more than one! Does that make me lucky? No. I’m not lucky to have these things, I decided these people & having certain things in my life mattered THE MOST. So I put my focus, my effort into them until it grew, overflowed, overwhelmed me in the BEST ways. Everything else that comes along is just the awesome additions but will NEVER again become things that will make or break ME. The greatest feeling one can have is freedom.
There is no right way or wrong way, there is just YOUR way that’s best for YOU. If you find that you have people in your life that can’t love you, honor you, hold you, lift you in your darkest times, share the light with you, rise with you, build you…then they do not deserve you. Cacao, she provided MY circle.
Cacao is THE tool, THE medicine that helped restore balance. It helped open my eyes to a greater understanding. She spoke to the deepest parts of me. Each day I give a piece to her and to me. She’s more than just a yummy chocolate drink…
