They say there is a Point of No Return.  No collecting $200 after passing Go.  There’s just a path, that we either create along the way, or create before we arrive and spend a lifetime trying to find it again.  Either ways, step by step, we find ourselves walking, crawling, marching, running, moseying, tip toeing along the way.  And in that journey, we experience that which we call Life.

I’ve debated since the start of this blog how personal I’d become. After all it’s supposed to be about Food and Beauty, right? Being too truthful and honest is scary.  I mean do I really wanna talk about my own inner workings especially when it’s so much easier to offer a tasty recipe or the next dope beauty treatment.

Why? You see I have dreams, goals, manifestations #callitwhatyouwant that are gonna come true.  Like soon. Real soon.  And I worry that being super honest,  controversial, hyper sensitive and the like will cause a disruption in my empire building that is Naturi Beauty.  I ask myself questions, like is there really safety in safety?  If so, who are the safety police that make sure that I still get to advance even if I do offend someone all in the name of being safe?  Well I asked repeatedly and for the record #itdoesn’texist.

In paying homage to my parents I revealed the birth of a foodie-beauty revolution.  It’s on the brink, brewing inside of me, threatening to burst. What’s the hold up, you ask? Me. I’m the block, the cement, the stubborn brick that just won’t move.  Perhaps my greatest fear isn’t that I’ll interrupt my flow at all….instead…perhaps the fear is that my flow is unstoppable, Earth defying like the Nile, nourishing like the Amazon, life-creating like Yemanja.  Yeah perhaps that’s it.  To print it in public, read it out loud, and own it is perhaps a little scarier.  But nothing is as scary as not having honored the vision that was birthed before me.

So I’ve reached my Point of No Return.  Once you know, you must go.  I’m ready to be a more evolved version of me.  I’m ready to tirelessly do what Naturi Beauty demands.  I’m ready to transition fully with full trust that the Universe is conspiring for all of my desires.  I’m ready to explore food and it’s Tantric nature like no other chef before me. I’m ready to define beauty and self-care in ways that honor our femininity and sensuality.  I’m ready to merge my desires with my fear, because within them, my fear has no choice but to return to the light.  `

As far as not collecting $200 and still having to pass Go….it’s all good.  In this journey and process I know I’ll collect much more than that.

Thanks and I love you for reading, for sharing, for commenting, for allowing me to unfold.
