Dear You…
Hey Luv,
I just want to take a moment to thank you for being so patient with me. The last few weeks have been a lot, and honestly, I’ve just been trying to keep up with everything life is throwing my way. Between working on my book, showing up for my kids, and navigating all the emotions of having a senior this year, my heart has been pulled in so many directions. I’ve also been on my own healing journey facing old wounds, letting go of childhood trauma, and really trying to figure out who I am outside of everything I do for everyone else. Some days it feels like progress, other days it feels heavy, but I know it’s all part of the process. And then, there’s the weight of the world around us. Every day it feels like something new is happening in this country whether it’s attempts to rewrite democracy or erase our Black history. It’s a lot to carry, knowing that as Black Americans, we are the target whether we act or not. With all of this going on, I’ve found it hard to blog because I don’t always know what to say, and I never want to come to you with words that aren’t real. I recently lost a cousin, and that hit me harder than I expected, I have not been able to talk to anyone really since I got the news. No matter how far we go in life, those childhood bonds and memories stick with us. Losing someone reminds me just how important it is to cherish the moments we have with the people we love.
So, if you’ve been wondering where I’ve been, I just want you to know I haven’t forgotten about this space, and I will be back. Sooner than later. Sharing our stories matters too much for me to stay quiet for long. Right now, I’m just finding my words again. And if you’re going through your own storms right now, I want to remind you of this: it’s okay to pause, it’s okay to feel, and it’s okay to take time to heal. Don’t rush yourself. Your story, your journey, and your presence matter more than you know. Thank you for giving me grace.
LyfeActuallyy is happening every single day, so don’t miss out on the moments that turn into lasting memories.
XOXO Kaye,
