*****************************
- Catharsis -
Twelve. Years.
Every time I walked in or out of my home, there they were. Fire Bushes and Crown of Thorn shrubs against the white stucco of my house. My ex-mother-in-law planted them as a surprise twelve years ago. *
Of course, how could she have known that I dreamt of using the space for a jasmine trellis and sweet gardenia bushes. The decision was done. There they were. Ugly. Spiky. Twisted. (Insert all mother-in-law cliches and jokes here). *
I pleaded with my then husband to move them to plant my jasmine, but he insisted that they remain so as to spare his mother’s feelings. Years later, when the plants developed a fungus, which spread to anything I planted nearby, the plants were to remain. Even two years after my now ex-husband moved out, those plants stood there defiantly, no matter how I tried to kill them from above.
*
This morning, I dropped my daughter at school. As I pulled back into the driveway, a familiar sting of unworthiness. Fire and thorns with impenetrable roots and these useless hands that can’t kill them! Enough! *
I needed tools and support. So, my dear friend bought me a machete and sharpened it for my painful hands. I began hacking away. *
I am worthy of this space.
Whack!
I deserve to be honored.
Thwack!
This is my home and I choose it.
Crack!
*
Then I tied those stubborn, deep, resistant roots to the back of my truck and ripped them out one by one. *
I’m bruised, exhausted, and at peace.
The ground is bare now; raked clean and raw with possibility. A blank canvas, except for one plant. A climbing jasmine bush I planted just minutes ago.
*
Jasmine represents eternal love, hope, respect, and motherhood. This is my home and I choose to clear away my past to make room for love.
And so it is.
I am.

Don't be afraid of losing someone who doesn't feel lucky to have you. Sometimes you have to walk away from what you THOUGHT you wanted, to discover what you really deserve. 🌹 #happyFriday #love #peace #happiness #knowyourworth #deserve #need #wants #relationship

Regrann from @punchnewspapers - Banky W, D’Banj, other celebrities say Nigerian youths deserve accolades “So apparently, this is what our President thinks about “a lot of the Nigerian youth”. What do you guys think? I have a suggestion. Whether you agree, or disagree with the President’s comments, this time, do a little bit more than posting, commenting, retweeting, and complaining. Go and register to vote. I’ve sat in countless meetings, seminars, conferences and hangouts with young people. We are always great at pointing out our issues.. but the truth is that we can sit around and complain from now until Kingdom come. IT WILL NOT MATTER. INEC will not count your tweets. Let’s turn the month of May into #PVCMay .

This cake. I’ve wanted to get this cake from Costco for soooooo long...years perhaps. I’ve always walked away saying, ”nope. Don’t need it.” Today was different. I took the leap, got the cake-now I’m eating my slice. Why do we wait for so long for something we want? Why do we deprive ourselves of satisfaction that will be brief in time but last in memory for much longer? Eat the cake. #girlboss #eatthecake #florianfloral #stoppassingitup #enjoylifesmoments #deserve #chocolatecake #twoglassesofmilkneeded #deprivemyselfnolonger

Dzisiejszy dzień mocno mnie zmęczył... ☺️ Trening nóg wjechał bardzo mocno co przełożyło się na brak mocy do końca dnia, a do poprowadzenia były jeszcze zajęcia fitness...:) Takie są jednak dni, kiedy jemy mniej niż nasz organizm potrzebuje do normalnego funkcjonowania. Tym bardziej kiedy do wykonania jest trening nóg lub grzbietu:) Dzień treningu nóg kończę pyszna kolacją widoczną na zdjęciu 😍😘 Prysznic i spać... Potrzebuje dobrej regeneracji!! Jutro musi być ogień na treningu łap!! 😈😎💪 @prozis @prozis_polska #breakfast #omlette #zerokcal #carbs #yogurt #cynamon #omlet #kolacja #friday #supper #protein #proteinshake #prozis #prozisteam #eatclean #goodfood #eating #eat #cooking #deserve #hardday #dieta #trening #successful #meals #meal #personaltrainer #trenerpersonalny #wolverteam #fiteats
