  • hey boos 🫶🏾,
    here's to the start of a new month, getting back into a healthy routine amidst the transitions happening in life. this week in particular has been super up and down, but i'm happy i was able to find a silver lining and still make way for doing things that make me feel good.
    my great grandmother's passing has me in such a reflective mood because she was the eldest in my family and the only one i could really connect with to learn more about my family history and lineage. if you're reading this and you still have the chance to connect with your great or great-great grandparents, i highly encourage you to do so.
    on the brighter side, i'm really excited about my move to Atlanta. i can't believe it's happening. it feels really good to finally put my fear aside and no longer hold myself back for whatever reason. excited to bring you all along the journey!
    i hope your week is going amazing! take care all ways, always. enjoy! xo ❣️

    Im 34 year old single mom with 2 daughters, 9 and 3. I have alot of regrets. One is not living my best life LIVING ALONE prior to kids and relationships. Its harder after and most never make it back to themselves. I watch your channel to live vicariously through you! You’re doing well Sis! I promise!❤

    • @AmaniRakeia
      @AmaniRakeia  Год назад +25

      WOW. this touched me so much. it feels so amazing to hear form women that are older than me and can affirm that I'm not doing too bad. sometimes i get a little lost in the sauce, but these little reminders put it all in perspective-THANK YOU!! i am sending you soooo much love and light on your journey. i pray that you find joy and peace in what life is currently offering you. i pray that you find subtle ways in your days to come home to yourself. you deserve it. 💗

      I’m 35 and I can agree with Nikki 100%. I was the oldest and set to be the one to look up to by all the siblings and grandkids. I did things by the book and let’s just say, I am separated, will be divorced soon, a single mom to a 7 year old and honestly I’m at peace. I wish I took my time instead of living my life to think being married with kids by a certain age is the end all be all and it’s not the move. At least not for me. Lol I’m starting over and I’m okay with that. 😊
