Catch Your Breath and Find Your Direction

So let's have a moment of honesty and transparency. Can I do that with you Fashmira Friends!? Life has been lifing! I repeat LIFE HAS BEEN LIFING. It felt as though every area of my life decided to get shaken up, and I started to lose my footing. Times like these, life can seem overwhelming, confusing, and utterly chaotic. For a while I was feeling a little lost and I honestly still kinda am… I had to take a step back and realize, it's okay to be vulnerable, and to not have all the answers. This is a part of our human journey, and it's during these challenging times that we often undergo the most significant growth… we discover our inner strength and resilience. When life takes a turn it's simply a new beginning, an opportunity to rebuild stronger, wiser, and more resilient than ever before. 

So, Fashmira Friends, if you ever feel overwhelmed by life's demands, remember that it's okay to take a breather. It's okay to step back in order to limit chaos, even if it's just for a little while. Trust me, you'll come back stronger, more focused, and ready to tackle whatever comes your way. I'm back now, recharged, and ready to get back to sharing my journey with you all. My underlying goal of this blog has always been to inspire, uplift, and encourage others. But in order to do that, I have to inspire, uplift, and encourage myself first. I took some time to catch my breath, find my direction, and focus on navigating through.

Life is a crazy thing because you can truly experience happiness, hurt, and healing all at the same time. Sometimes we have to hit the pause button on certain areas of our lives so that we can realign ourselves and rediscover the things that truly matter to us. It is through this stage of rediscovery that we go through a mix of emotions that eventually lead to a breakthrough...

I’ve had the opportunity to rediscover my dreams and goals, and begin putting them back in the forefront. In doing so it has led to a trickle down effect, of change:

• I have been able to reconnect with myself and trust in my beautiful journey.
• I am focused on establishing meaningful connections that foster positive development and growth within myself.
• I've been reassessing my priorities, and aligning all of my actions with my values and desires.
• I have rediscovered my passions and interests, and am allowing myself to deep dive in them.
• I have been able to see the fruits of my efforts, with an increase in new experiences and expanding opportunities.

​So, guess what? Here we are back again. What is this take 3... take 5 or take 7? It doesn't matter how many times I start over, restart, or as I like to say refocus. I'm going to continue to pour into my vision because it's something that matters to me. So I'm here...still thriving and still shining! Bring on the challenges, because I’m ready for them! But, also bring on the opportunities, the growth, and the positivity because I’m here for that too. What was it Jhene Aiko said?!?! “We don't just get by, we thrive!” (Or something like that lol) We are not defined by the struggles we go through, but how we rise above them. Stay strong and never forget to shine your light, because the world needs it!
