This weekend was full, in the best of ways. I celebrated centennial homecoming, reconnected with my sisters, and shared a piece of HBCU culture with my daughter. My heart was full… but my body? A little tired 😅
Waking up this morning to train was hard — especially going from 80° in New Orleans to 38° in Atlanta. But here’s the truth I remind myself of often:
If you have a goal, it will require:
• Consistency
• Commitment
• Community
Some days will feel easy, some days will feel heavy. But your why will always anchor you.
Today I showed up — not perfectly, but with intention.
20 minutes of running + 4 laps in the pool.
And listen… I have never completed a full lap in my life before training for this triathlon. Today I did four. The goal is eight. We’re getting there. One lap, one breath, one day at a time. 🏊♀️💪🏾
This week, I encourage you to:
• Say yes to yourself.
• Set boundaries where you need them.
• Stay committed to the version of you you’re becoming.
Progress is still progress and it deserves to be celebrated.
Be well 💛
Stay well.
We’re growing. We’re rising. We’re showing up.
