New Environments

I have been feeling a pull this week to start getting out and experiencing new things. New things to match my new version. I have found a couple things I would like to try and smile thinking about the new people I will meet and the conversations I will have. Being my authentic new version.

I woke up today and it was heavy on my spirit to get out the house. The first thing that popped into my mind was Easton. Which is our well to do shopping area. They have an outside area for me to work and get some sunshine. I got up this morning and put on a head wrap and let my curls hang from the top. I have not worn a head wrap since I combed out my locs. It fit today I looked in the mirror and smirked and said you look cute. I found a cute dress and thought this is it.

I took my husband lunch and headed to find a good spot to work. When I got to the park area people were enjoying lunch in the surrounding restaurants, and there were children playing in the water that shoots up in the center of the park. I was immediate glad I came. I found me a nice spot that was shaded so I can work without my computer overheating from the 83-degree weather I would be enjoying.

I brought me some watermelon and mangoes to enjoy. I love to people watch so I have to stay diligent on getting work done, but it was meant for me to get in an environment where people where enjoying themselves. I said all that to remind you that it is important to switch it up. Get out of your normal routine. Go to a place that you enjoy but don't go often. Find a new place you just want to experience.

Go to places for your new version. Start getting dressed for your future. Start carrying yourself with your chin up and chest out. Let your energy draw people and new opportunities to you. Don't get caught up in when and where. Just be who you need to be when everything shows up.
