Alignment, Arizona and Zuri✨

Okay so it’s no secret that I am most comfortable on an adventure. Not sure how that works with my flying anxiety but whatevs 😝

Our family has come to AZ for a vacation like no other. We’re usually in Belize come September, jumping up for Independence Day but since ‘Rona the country has been closed 😩 We still needed some family time though, so where. do. we. go?

I had a Southwest voucher from our 2019 Disney Trip when they broke Ren’s stroller that I needed to use.

Wait hold up hold up.

Can we talk about that damn trip quickly?

It tried to take me out.

See this was for her first birthday when I was deep in the throngs of PPD. My life was just so, unfamiliar to me. Going to Florida with a one year old literally tipped my scale. A week after we came home I had a HUGE meltdown that brought to light that I needed some “help” with Ren (and that my husband needed to respect what I can/can’t do as a new mother. I’m not just Zuri anymore, I’m make sure the diaper bag is packed, does she have food Zuri, have to keep track of all the moving pieces Zuri and that wasn’t easy.)

Alright but I’m cool na 😝 I’m back and that’s what makes me so happy to be here. I came here to reflect on my life and plant new seeds. I’m in the process of building two businesses and for some reason I know AZ has something to say about it.

Hey now here’s somebody that looks familiar 🥰

Well, AZ has not disappointed so far. Yesterday when I woke up at 5 to go to Camelback Mountain I felt so true to myself. At my core I am a morning person, I love the start of a new day. I love reflecting on God while those golden rays come up. I love the morning energy, the vibe, the sounds and smells of morning. Since being here I’ve been up every morning at 5.

You see that orange dot, that’s our Sun. ✨🌅

I’m pretty sure I just told my girl that I wanted to rise earlier as that’s when I’m most productive and a week later look. See I’m already starting,even if it’s because my brain is still in the EST. 😝

Since being here I linked with my friend who has me taking my business to the next step. As a Pisces I am daydreamy, and can become lazy right when a corner will be turned. But God blessed me with real friends, the ones who ask the hard questions. The ones who make sure I’m on my job. My good girlfriend I came to visit got me together and now I’m writing down a real business plan for the cottage kitchen. (don’t you just love a motivated, confident Aries? And why the poop didn’t I already have a plan? The answers to these questions and more, on the things Zuri does.)

I’ve been telling anyone that’ll listen that Arizona has something for me.

I’m here not on vacation, but as work. Working on my spiritual. Working for my Instagram business. And working for my family.

I want to remember this Arizona trip as a turning point in my life. I know I am here for something. I know my life has purpose, and even though it took many tears, years and confronting fears I am finally confident enough to step into it.

Thank You God.

Now let’s go to Sedona. ✨
