I invite you to take a front-row seat to my next chapter.
A version of me I’ve never shared before.

The upcycle begins.

My favorite boy in the entire world officially turned a teenager today!

Every single day, I’m in awe of his brilliant mind and wisdom, his depth of kindness and empathy, his witty sense of humor, his incredible talent of drawing that levels an adult professional artist and always blow my mind, his incredible intelligence of his self awareness, social settings, and the secrets of the Universe, and his tender heart that is incredibly strong and resilient.

I love you my boy, you are truly a precious, sweet, exquisite soul and it’s such a gift being your mother. What an honor. I am so humbled to be given this privilege.

Happiest 13th birthday to you, my agaya!

I loved looking at all of the Outfits Gwen Stefani wore at her concert at the Sphere! Which is your favorite outfit? And should I attempt to do a refashion inspired by her punk rock/old & new fashion?

I surprised my bestie with the concert last minute so we didn’t have any time to prepare for our outfits, so this is what we threw on together, just 3 hours before the concert.😆

My first baby graduated high school.🎓

The month of May has cracked me open in ways I didn’t expect.

Everyone talks about children moving out and going to College, but I didn’t know about the identity crisis that can come with. The quiet questioning. The replaying of every decision. The wondering if you did enough. Loved enough. Taught enough. Protected enough.

I’ve found myself going through somewhat of a mid-life crisis and questioning my life choices. Wondering if divorcing right in the middle of her teenage years was a bad idea, and how much it has affected her… Should I have waited until all the children were grown and out of the house… how much it must have traumatized my darling kids… Wondering what I could have done better. Wondering if I prepared her enough for the real world. And all the things I could have done better.

Motherhood has been the greatest upcycling project of my life. And while I thought I was raising her, the truth is she has raised me. And somehow, despite all my imperfections, she became extraordinary.

Watching her walk across that stage, I saw resilience. Depth. Kindness. Intelligence. Creativity. Strength. I saw a human being I am endlessly proud to know… let alone call my daughter.

My darling girl, you are going to thrive in college and in life because you are the kind of person who makes every room better. You care deeply. You think deeply. You love deeply. And even on the days you feel unproductive or behind, please remember: your worth has never been tied to what you do. It is in who you are and you simply being. Your worth and value is your birthright, it is always in full and never depleting.

Be kind and graceful to yourself.
Make yourself your own safest place.
Be your own biggest cheerleader and supporter.
Protect and nurture your inner child the way you would a tender little girl…

Because that’s what you will always be to me.

My little girl. My darling, immaculate little girl.
Forever and always.

I love you more than words could ever hold.❤️

While I was sitting in the depth of my sadness and loneliness recently, I had a visual of me sitting in a chair and an empty chair in front of me. So I invited them to sit down. Because in the end, every person just wants to feel heard, understood and loved. And so does our emotions and our inner child. Would you try this next time you’re feeling a negative emotion? And anyone else just feeling the feels lately?

There’s one more important step I do after this, go to my YT channel to watch it(link in bio) or on there.

And I need your help! This is just a glimpse of my new series that’s coming as part of my rebrand and I cannot decide on a name. It’s going to be about how I’ve upcycled my mental health, emotional intelligence, spirituality, relationships, parenting, all things of the mind. And here are 3 names I am considering, comment below which one you like best!

Potential series names:
1. Upcycle Self
1. Self Actualize
3. Upcycle your Mind
