As I was reflecting on this beautiful space while walking my pup Cleo, I heard a Whisper….it’s time…..
😆This year has been a blast!
📚I realized my book goals! Not to mention, Whispers blog hit 10,000 views!!
🏝️ I took 13 consecutive days off from work and spent most of them in Puerto Rico… a bucket 🪣 list item for me.
🫘🫛 I taught more African American Heritage Diet Classes! Serving the community, a true passion of mine.
👟 I most recently shaved off SIX minutes from my 4-mile time at the Queen Bee race! A goal I didn’t think I could do.
💻 Unplanned, I was blessed with a work promotion, expanding my territory and growing and challenging me professionally.
So What’s Next?🤔
Three BIG Projects that have been on my heart, but not prioritized.
- 🍎 Deepening my knowledge of the science and behavior around food choices. I’m planning to pursue an additional certification on food and behavior modification in 2026.
- 🙋🏾♀️ Creating Empowerment Retreats for Women desiring a deeper level of wellbeing and meaning in life at our family Airbnb space!!
- We just opened it a few weeks ago. So exciting!!
- 📕Writing my first Cookbook!
- It’s overdue time for a book dedicated to the Real Home Cook! Not a Chef wanting to share “pretty food”.
- Focused on foods that can help chronic conditions!
These three BIG ideas take deep creativity, planing, and discipline. A level of consecration that must take up space and requiring me to put some things down.
What Do I Need?
Your grace. Time. and Prayer.
As I embark on this journey, I need to step away for a bit. Know I will return as soon as the WERK is done.
We’ve grown this community so much, of folks believing better health is possible. Trust me, I know I’ll even want to creep back over here, but hold me accountable to delivering on what I believe will help even more people in communities we love.
While I’m away, know I’m always cheering for you! Go back and read old posts if you need to keep up your motivation.
Until we chat again,
Be Well 🙏🏾
