Transparency Lifestyle simply means expressing your life experiences through verbal, written or self-examination. When you are able to dig deeper and explore the areas that affect your life it allows you to live freely in your own truth.
WHERE HAVE I BEEN? I want to start by saying that the time that I have taken away from social media has been priceless for me. I was able to take back my time, my fingers, and my eyes to focus on something else other than apps. This allowed me to focus on issues in my life that I knew were there but hadn't addressed. During this time I decided to dig deeper and re-examine my life, my priorities, and my purpose.
This pandemic has changed my life in many ways from my personal life, business and relationships with others. With all of the news broadcasts that I watched and the restriction of outdoor activities, I started to feel tired more than often. There were times when I would have alil the energy to fill my days and other times I felt tired and sluggish and uninterested in my day
My journey of Transparency did not just start recently this has been ongoing throughout my life. There have been many people in the past that have perceived me visually as one thing based on how I carried myself (well-spoken, educated and reserved) but once I spoke to them they realized that I am a person that has many layers with a down to earth aura and love that expands the boundaries that they put me in. I have been hurt, overlooked, dismissed, damaged, minimized and almost destroyed BUT one thing that I refuse to do is give up!!!
I'll never forget the day that it happened, my Mom was in town visiting me and we all had gone out to dinner and enjoyed ourselves. For some reason, we arrived back at my apartment late in the evening so I had offered for him to spend the night seeing that it was late, I did not think anything of the offer at that time. Never in my wildest dreams would I think this guy would attempt to solicit sex or have anything transpire with my Mom right in the other room.
The school year at the beginning of 2019 seemed to be filled with a year of excitement as my kids began their curriculum at school. They were all set to see their friends, teachers, and new classrooms. Everything was all good until 2020 hit and everything changed, not only for the kids but for me & my husband as well.
I never knew the process of how my body went from craving meat to being repulsed by the smell of meat. For 13 years I learned how to flavor my vegetables and soy products as well as reduce my portion size. I have been able to try different foods that I had never tried before such as sushi, eggplant lasagna, cauliflower rice and baked sweet potato, and soybean chili just to name a few.
