"Everything is Happening in its Own Divine Order."

I have not written in this journal in 3 years. The last time I graced these pages, I didn’t even live in this home. I was hoping, wishing, praying and making investments on being an energy match to be in alignment with deserving this home. Now, this home, all its incumbents and everyone who has passed through it are forever changed. I am eternally grateful for the growth between January 2021 and January 2024. I sat down and had no idea what I’d write about tonight, but I knew I wanted to write. Three years ago, I was sledding in Brooklyn for the first time ever on a $10 Family Dollar air mattress. This year, I set my sights on a ski trip in Colorado for the first time. Since I last connected to these pages, so much has changed, yet so much remains the same. 

The love and commitment I have to myself, my inner child and my ascension is steadfast and unchanged. 2021 was the first time I took a step towards investing in my own healthy evolution. I wanted to uncover my higher purpose and rise above the current conditions I faced that were dragging me low. Three years ago, I was celebrating an $8K bonus check clearing in the pages of this journal. Last week, I celebrated my first $3.8K check clearing from TSU. Less than half the money, but I gave more than double the praise. Why? Because three years ago I would have never imagined being laid off from Google and my gravy train taking a tangential turn off the tracks.

At the time I last wrote in this journal, I was giving praise for my sales bonus. I never imagined I’d be in a different role by the end of that very same year. I had worked so hard at getting to Google that my mind didn’t imagine there was anywhere else to go. I would say jokingly years ago that “Google was my North Star.” That’s back when I believed the sky was the limit. Now, I know better. 

The past version of me was investing in Bach Flower remedies to make my conditions more tolerable. The woman I am today knows that a better use of time would have been seeking pathways to free myself from the insufferable environment altogether. Today, also happens to be the day I watched the Shannon Sharpe & Katt Williams interview. I’m feeling inclined to be truthful and trust that I am on the right side of morality--inspired by Katt’s unwavering commitment on the show. My father taught me years ago that, “right don’t need no help.” Of course, I grew to learn on my own, that he’s right. 

2024, according to Mr. Williams is the year for bringing truth to the light and dimming the darkness that has ruled for years. Katt also explained how he’d been the spook that creeped by the door for 30 years in Hollywood’s satanic playground. His strategy here was so he could see what’s really going on around those bends inside those rooms. Truth is an armor and he reminded us all of it during the interview. He spoke with a sense of divine protection and blessed assurance that his foes in the industry stood not a single chance against him as long as he was standing in the light. 

I am forever thankful that three years ago, I picked a side. I entered into an era of enlightenment and evolution and because of that choice, my soul is intact. I devoted immeasurable energy to a place that was paying me handsomely, but draining me dry. Despite the exhaustion and the temptation to stay on that downward spiral, I found the energy to look for a way out. The exit found me and I am forever grateful. The changes I’ve seen in my career over the last three to four years have been working for my greater good. Another thing I expressed gratitude for back then in this journal was for the opportunity to bless someone else by helping tell their story in an uplifting way. I was also thankful for having people in my corner to help position me and my experiences in a powerful narrative. 

I have come so far from that point, that it has now arrived again full circle. I am blessed to have established a thriving business and career doing this same thing for others. Establishing an avenue for illustrating the truth for myself and my clients is an honor I carry with pride. I have given birth to a newsletter and a blog that allows me to highlight my company’s success and share with the community the building blocks for actualizing their own highest potential. Although these platforms are both in their infancy, along with my affirmation cards-- they have already had quite the profound impact on our audiences.

I never would have imagined three years ago these words would serve at such a scale. I have been blessed with a Star Player community that is leaned in, supportive and shows love every chance they get. They trust the evolution of this affirmation work and I am deeply grateful. 

My hope for 2024 is that Club Shay Shay is only the start of more platforms that show preferential treatment for the truth. If audiences by the dozens of millions are flocking to the front row to witness Katt Williams’ liberated spirit, the road ahead looks bright for me as well. Now, more than ever, I stand in firm belief that “everything is happening in its own divine order.”
