“Are you happy? “ she asked. I recently caught up with my high school art teacher after 17 years. She was a huge inspiration to me in high school a person whom l highly respect and admire.

I worked as her receptionist/ personal assistant at her gallery while in college.

We had lost touch over the years after my mother had passed and while catching up with each other’s lives she asked me that question.

I paused because l never really gave my happiness much thought. I’ve been operating my life in fight or flight mode since my Mom died many years ago.

I gave my attention to everyone and everything but myself because l did not want to feel the pain of the tremendous loss. I was young, in my 20’s when she died a piece of me died and my dreams because she was no longer here to see me achieve them.

I think there is and always be a part of us that want to make our parents proud, to show them the greatness of a life they’ve created. When my Mom died our family dynamic changed life was different and we were all so hurt , broken and lost without her. She was the glue.

I spent many years denying my pain and feelings. When my father died in 2018, l could no longer avoid myself. Denial serves nothing but your ego which really isn’t a good look for a diva.

I’m learning that self care is truly a spiritual practice. Life is not my ideal not as l had planned but practicing daily gratitude has been a complete game changer.

I’m starting to really listen to my body and mind my thoughts. I’ve been on this wellness journey for years and there have been pauses, curves, jagged edges it’s not a straight arrow.

We really can not be happy until we really do the real work and get honest about what we want in life and how to get it; but most importantly becoming the kind of person we will need to become to live the life that we desire.

Hey Divas!

My new morning “ Joe “

Celery juice buzz! So l saw a friend post about Starbucks now makes a blended celery juice with ginger, lime and an apple sounds delicious!

It’s crazy in just a little over a month or so this is my new morning “ joe “ also working from home coffee was just different. l also add my probiotics for the full experience lol!

I feel more energized in the mornings vs drinking coffee l haven’t tried the Starbucks drink l drink my celery juice straight up

Tip 💚 celery juice only offers it’s full benefits when consumed alone

Tip 💚 Freshly juiced celery retains it’s healing benefits for about 24 hours

Tip 💚 Best to store in a glass jar with sealed lid

So been off the grid a bit doing the things! Still on program making it do what it do during this quarantine.

Something new l learned, walking on grass!

Tip your pinky toe out on that luscious green! Or luscious rock pavement. Ideal if you can get on some grass! So many health benefits walking on the earth bare foot.

It literally recharges the body and energizes it! Kinda like a battery. The earth will recharge you. Our body is energy and electricity flows through us we need it for our immune system and to heal us to do all the things!

The body needs certain amounts of energy for our cells to heal themselves and regenerate if you don’t have it the body will operate at a deficit.

I have been having some numbness in my thighs and it is rapidly starting to decline since l’ve been waking in the grass not sure if it’s that the celery juice being back on my vitamin game or all 3! Who knows but my healthy choices are starting to pay off!

A big tip! It Improves The Nervous System 

Just so you know walking barefoot on grass stimulates specific acupuncture points of the foot and this in turn helps stimulating our nerves and veins, improving our nervous system.

Pain caused by varicose veins, especially among diabetic patients, can be reduced if they regularly walk barefoot.
