✨ New Day. New Week. New Month. A New Becoming. ✨

I woke up this morning stunned by time itself —
how swiftly 2025 has carved me open, stretched me wide,
and asked me, again and again,
to rise into a version of myself I hadn’t yet met.

Every week this year carried its own initiation.
And November — consumed by Hurricane Melissa,
the birth of AllHandsJamaica.org,
and the humbling work of serving on the ground —
revealed yet another layer of resilience I didn’t know I possessed.
Service has a way of doing that:
it breaks the heart open so it can hold more.

And now… here comes December.

A month of completion.
A month of reckoning with what still wants to be finished,
laid to rest, honored, or carried forward with dignity.

The world feels wildly uncertain —
disasters rising everywhere, structures trembling,
nothing quite as it was.
But instead of resisting the unknown,
I’m leaning into it.
Strengthening my intuitive muscles.
Letting uncertainty sharpen my clarity
rather than steal my peace.

This month also brings joy:
I’m thrilled to open the Gratitude Tree Initiative —
a heart-centered mission to gift 200 children (ages 3–18)
with meaningful presents this holiday season.
If you feel called to give,
click the link in my bio, choose a gift,
and send your invoice so we can receive the items in Jamaica.
A small gesture from you becomes a moment of magic for them.

And with a full moon approaching, I’m asking myself —
What am I ready to complete?
What deserves a sacred closing?
Who am I becoming as I cross the final threshold of this year?

May this December invite you
to finish well,
love deeply,
and enter the new year with intention, not speed.

Wishing you a grounded, grace-filled Monday.
We rise — together.
And so it is.

Self Love Is a Practice Podcast Series‼️ Read caption 👇🏾

✨ If you’re giving thanks today, start with you. ✨

Even though today is celebrated as Thanksgiving Day,
every morning we rise is its own invitation to give thanks —
for breath, for possibility, for the simple miracle of being alive.

And so today, I reflect on three things I am deeply grateful for:

Community — the way I feel supported, held, and uplifted by the people who surround me.

Purpose — the work I am called to do right now, work that inspires me, fuels me, and lights me up from the inside out.

Hope — the quiet, steady reminder that even in uncertain times, there is always a path forward.

On a day when so many pause to express gratitude outwardly,
I invite you to turn inward too:
What is the relationship you’re building with yourself?
Do you speak to yourself as kindly as you speak to others?
Do you treat yourself with the love, respect, and tenderness you deserve?

This week on the Self-Love Is a Practice podcast,
we’re diving into the power of self-love and self-reflection —
the foundation of self-worth, self-respect, and a life aligned with truth.
There is a special offering in this week’s episode as we move through a season of giving.

So today, give thanks for your breath.
Give thanks for your becoming.
Give thanks for your courage to rise, again and again.

And most of all…
give thanks for you. 🌹

SELF LOVE IS A PRACTICE — and now, it has a cup to match.
✨✨✨

As we approach Friendsgiving on November 27, I’m beyond grateful to share that my Self Love Is a Practice mugs are officially available.

This offering is more than merchandise — it’s a ritual, a reminder, a reclamation.

Because every time you sip from this cup, you’re speaking a quiet truth:

I cannot pour into the world if I refuse to pour into myself.
Self-love is not selfish — it is sacred maintenance.
It is the most radical form of activism.

And in true Universal Empress spirit, your self-love ripples outward.

From every cup purchased, USD $8 will go directly toward relief efforts in Jamaica—supporting families, communities, and the rebuilding of lives.

✨ FREE shipping within the U.S.
✨ To order your cup, DM me directly.
✨ And keep tuning in to the Self Love Is a Practice podcast — available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Buzzsprout.

As you hold this cup between your palms, may you remember:
You are worthy of warmth.
You are worthy of gentleness.
You are worthy of overflow.

Sip slowly.
Pour generously.
And so it is. 🤍✨

“Week four, and Jamaica is still bleeding. This is why we keep going.”

As we close another week, my heart is full. Your generosity continues to move mountains, and together we are making a real, tangible difference on the ground in Jamaica.

This week alone, because of you, we were able to provide:

• Scrubs to medical teams working tirelessly
• Tarps, rope, and nails for urgent zinc and roof repairs
• Women’s clothing for families who lost everything
• Food packages to a children’s home in Montego Bay

The donations keep coming in — and so does the work. 🙏🏽
From the bottom of my heart, thank you to each and every person who has contributed, shared, prayed, or reached out.

As we enter Week Four, I invite us all to reflect:

💭 How do we move from relief into deep recovery?
💭 What difference can I continue to make — however small — in helping Jamaica not just survive, but rebuild and rise?

This is the work.
This is the moment.
And we are doing it — together.

To support, visit allhandsjamaica.org.

You can:
✨ Purchase goods directly for donation
✨ Or send financial contributions — every bit counts

Thank you for standing with Jamaica.🇯🇲
Thank you for standing with us.

And so it is. 🌹

🌪️ Week Three Post-Melissa | A Week in Review 🌪️

This past week has moved in a blur — fast, full, and fierce.
And yet, look how much we’ve done together.

Thank you to everyone who has donated so far. Your generosity is already changing lives.

This week alone, we’ve been able to distribute:
• Tarps for families without roofs
• Rope + nails for zinc repairs
• Food items to those still without steady access
• Clothing and essentials to communities hardest hit

And the drive continues. We’re not done — not even close.

As the photos show, this week was movement, service, sweat, prayer, and purpose — all at once. Time is moving quickly, and so must we.

Three weeks post-Melissa and Jamaica is still in recovery mode.

Relief was the first chapter.

Rebuilding is the work ahead.

Thank you for standing with us. For giving. For sharing. For caring.
Every act — big or small — is the gold between the cracks that helps hold this whole island together. 🌹

Humbled. Grounded. Grateful. 💚

Yesterday’s visit to the West Haven Children’s Home moved me deeply. Meeting members of the Kiwanis Club brought me right back to my roots — growing up in a home where service was simply part of life. My late father, Les McNeil, served faithfully with the North Central St. Andrew Kiwanis Club, and seeing their banner yesterday touched something profound in me.

West Haven — about 30 miles outside Montego Bay — is home to children and adults with special needs. It runs entirely on charity and the dedication of those who show up in love and service.

Immediate needs: sheets, food items, clothing (ages 9–49), tarpaulins, zinc, nails, wood — anything you can contribute makes a difference.

Through All Hands Jamaica, born out of Hurricane Melissa, we’ve created a portal where goods can be bought at cost and sent directly to the home.
Alternatively, you can donate funds that go toward purchasing these essential items.

If you feel called to support or volunteer your time in the months ahead — especially in working with special needs children — please reach out to me directly.

Special thanks to Dr. Charli Kemp, who said “yes” without hesitation and journeyed with me yesterday. 🙏🏾
