The 39 and FLY Challenge

I thank God for giving me the greatest blessing of turning 39! I'm a trailblazer, focused, determined, purposeful, holistically, and FLY Black Woman on a mission!

I was just nine, posing in front of my mom's Jetta on Hollingsworth St in Mattapan!

I don't take life or my purpose for granted because I have endured challenges. Living without my eldest brother is one of the most significant challenges I navigate daily. His life got taken away instantly at 19. So when you see me go hard, live life purposefully, smile, stay sucker-free, accomplish goals, tap into my inner G, moving with urgency, now you know why! I don't play about my life and purpose! God doesn't play about me, either! I don't have room for anyone to rock with me half-heartedly. I got trails to blaze and moves to make!

I know Rakim said, "It ain't where you from; it's where you at." So I like to say where I am from (Mattapan, to be exact) prepared me to be where I am at..

With that being said, I have to thank my family, my ancestors (great-grandparents, grandparents, and Great Aunts and Uncles) for genuinely being my village. I'm an old soul because, as the youngest and only girl, I had to sit with my elders, listen to their wisdom, run errands with them, help them out, and honestly care for them!

Hence, why I am a social worker and educator! The wisdom I heard and applied is a combination of my elders in my family, ancestors, life experiences, school, reading, and researching!

Giving thanks to the past, present, and future sacrifices my parents made from leaving Alabama in 1970 relocating to Boston (Mattapan) to create a dope, challenging, and cultured life for my brothers and me.

My entire ancestral lineage investment is paying off, and I'm genuinely breaking generational curses daily! It's not easy, but I've gracefully accepted the challenge!

Giving thanks for being healthy (mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually)! I work hard towards my internal and eternal healing daily while helping others do the same!

Much love, light, gratitude, and endless blessings,

Drea

 

FLY Girl Goddess: Free Thought, Writing Flow

As I lay in bed, twisting my hair while thinking about why this dude pulled away, why am I focusing my attention on him, anyway? I realize that I must continually surrender to the divine feminine energy goddess flow. As I fully and constantly evolve to that flow, I must remember to be in my softness, natural state of healing, clearing, and tapping within. I have realized that I’m a whole goddess with a dope flow and energy, and I will never be forgotten by anyone who came into my path. When I take ownership of the divine feminine energy goddess flow, I realize how I open myself up to radical acceptance, forgiveness, inner beauty, boundaries, and more. When you are a divine feminine energy goddess, you are a trailblazer and legacy maker. Everyone shouldn’t have access to you because some are attracted to the unfamiliar light. It doesn’t come in a package that is direct, delicate, and signed on delivery. Divine feminine energy flow has the courage, vulnerability, and healing persistence to help keep you flowing. You aren’t for everybody; every (wo)man can’t handle your versatility, assertiveness, and timeless beauty. They want to take you down, but you didn’t come here to fuck around and be played with. Divine feminine energy goddess flow, you are here on a whole life mission; God gave you the vision, so continue to press onward and forward. Don’t ever allow anyone to disrupt your divine feminine energy goddess flow.

You are unforgettable and a force to be reckoned with. It’s time for you to receive all the love, energy, positivity, goodness, and kindness you have been putting out. Are you ready to receive it back?

Are you tapped into your fly-girl goddess flow?
