I DESERVE

Life took an unexpected turn, leaving me to find my way through grief and loss. As a Black woman over 50 the experience of widowhood has been complex. I have given so much of myself and have come through so much. Now, I deserve to embrace a new chapter in my life, one filled with joy, peace, and abundance.

I DESERVE TO BE A PRIORITY

For years, I put the needs of DT, my children, and others before my own. Now, it's my time to be at the top of the list. I deserve to prioritize my mental, emotional, and physical well-being. This means giving myself permission to rest without guilt, try new things that bring me joy, and saying "NO" to anything that drains my energy.

I DESERVE TO HEAL AT MY OWN PACE

Some days I feel strong, and other days I feel overwhelmed. Both are okay. I deserve to allow myself to feel every emotion without judgment. I find support in people who understand and respect my journey, whether it's through a mentor, a therapist, or a good friend.

I DESERVE TO EMBRACE MY FREEDOM

Widowhood has also been an opportunity for growth and rediscovery. I have the freedom to redefine my life on my own terms. I can travel to places I have always dreamed of, learn new skills, and even start a new business. My future is a blank canvas, and I plan to create a masterpiece!

I DESERVE LOVE IN ALL ITS FORMS

Love evolves. I deserve to receive love from my friends and family, and most importantly, from myself. I have opened my heart to new connections, friendships and romantic relationships. I deserve to be seen, cherished, and loved just as I am.

This new chapter is a testament to my resilience and strength. I am not starting over; I am moving forward with the wisdom and grace I've learned. I deserve a life filled with happiness, purpose, and all the things that make my heart feel full.

Through all the turbulence, I kept going ✨️💖
