A spiritual lifestyle audit is your quarterly soul check-in—a grace-filled pause to ask, “Am I living in alignment with the woman I’m called to be?”

You don’t become the woman you want to be for a man—you become her for yourself, so that love finds you already whole.

Closure isn’t a conversation, a final text, or a perfectly wrapped ending—it’s a decision you make for yourself. You cannot step into the love you deserve while keeping the door cracked for the love that already failed you.

One night, I found myself crouched on the side of my bed, frantically scrolling through my daughter’s iPad, uncovering hours of group chat messages filled with name-calling, gaslighting, and way too many TikTok links. That was the moment I knew—less screen time, more real life, and what better way to start than with one of her favorite traditions: the Lunar New Year Festival at The Huntington Gardens.

Reflection is how we honor the past while preparing for the future—celebrating wins, learning from challenges, and setting the stage for growth. By combining intentional goal-setting with a vision board to keep my dreams in focus, I’m stepping into 2025 with clarity and purpose.

From Cajun-spiced shrimp and grits to a dessert bar filled with our favorite treats, we crafted a wedding menu that was as bold, soulful, and unforgettable as the day itself.
