Dare to dive into the ocean of possibilities.✨🌊 Your future is waiting for you. Be brave. Speak your truth. Create your own path. Take a chance. The time will pass anyway so you might as well spend it doing what lights you up inside. If one thing doesn’t work, keep trying. If that doesn’t work, try again. And again. And again. Until you crack the code. It only takes one thing. One leap of faith to create the life you’ve always dreamed of. The world is your oyster. 🌎🐚 Whatever it is that you want, go make it happen. COMMIT to yourself.❤️ #worldoceansday (at Palm Beach, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBOz0SZAMp3/?igshid=3tcsgtvmijpw

For those of us who are actively making a change within ourselves to be the best person we can be, to learn about our black brothers’ and sisters’ struggles so that awareness can bring equality, love and understanding for each other, please know we’re doing our best with what we know. We are learning, growing and evolving, and some effort is better than no effort. When you are learning something new, are you perfect at it from the beginning?⁣ ⁣ Have you ever been in a relationship or upbringing where every single thing you did was never good enough? Did that make you want to do better or did it push you away? The key here is to look at each person’s intention individually. If they are coming from a place of love, don’t attack them but rather offer a better solution so they can DO better. If we’re looking for true change, that’s the way to do it, instead of making people feel bad who truly want to learn and grow and support those around them. If someone is being malicious, that’s a different story, but most of the time people want to be the best they can be. ⁣ ⁣ We all make mistakes, we all say things we don’t mean, and many times it’s taken out of context, but the bottom line is that no matter your background, no one is perfect. The question is, did you learn from that mistake or do you keep doing it because you simply don’t care? Two different things.⁣ ⁣ If we want true equality, let’s have an open conversation not an argument, so we can all learn and get on the same page. Don’t let the countless lives lost, destroyed cities and time/energy spent protesting go to waste without coming up with an understanding of how we want to move forward as a collective race - the human race.🌎✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 (at Palm Beach, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBCPmERApq5/?igshid=ok4yaarrg2yx

🙏🏻When the people unite in love, harmony and peace, that’s when we get our true power back as a collective whole. Commit to being the best version of yourself every single day, fill up with gratitude for the blessings in your life (can be the simplest things) and fall in love with humanity. We are one. Love and light always win in the end. We will not divide and conquer. The people are awake.🌞💫✨ (at Palm Beach, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA_RSesgi0J/?igshid=1wmpjn9vbaz55

Unity and love for one another is the ONLY thing that will put an end to racism. We must listen to hear and understand. Support in any way we can. Stand up for what is right. Do the work. Speak up. Lift each other up. Hate will not prevail, as love will always win in the end. I hear you. I see you. Together we stand.✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 #blackouttuesday (at Palm Beach, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA8fSMKD0ny/?igshid=c2c1z5oawn33

🚫Recently I was feeling confused about my purpose as I hit a plateau and wanted more - to become the best version of myself, but I didn’t know how to get there. Then I remembered that @tonyrobbins said, “the secret to living is giving.” And that’s exactly what I did. Sure enough, amazing things began to happen - friendships, connections, ideas, opportunities. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ My friends, understand this. The issue with social media has been the fact that everyone has only shared the best version of themselves. Constantly posting things that made us feel better about ourselves and left everyone else feeling worse about themselves. Let that sink in. But what we failed to realize, including myself, is that when you make something about you, it doesn’t help anyone. And that’s why many feel lost.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ My spiritual awakening, which I will share with you all soon, forced me to get back down to reality, understand my authentic self and gain clarity about how I want to show up in this world, the impact I want to create, the kind of person I want to be, and the contribution I want to make.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I’m not against influencers and I think it’s important for us to share products and services that enhance our lives, but I also think it’s our responsibility to use our platform to share content that will better humanity as a whole. And that begins when you share your heart with people, NOT a selfie. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ These 4 1/2 years have been so incredibly rewarding with dream experiences and opportunities, but I’m ready to take it to the next level. I truly feel that I haven’t accomplished much because I know the potential and the desires that were given to me at birth, which I have not even tapped into yet. These reservoirs of potential are also inside each and everyone of you, you just have to look for it. I realized I was selling myself short by not using my voice, mind and heart which I think are my greatest assets and is also yours if you choose to.⁣ ⁣ It’s beautiful to see people of all backgrounds and walks of life coming together to make a real difference in this world. I truly believe there is a humanitarian inside all of us waiting to achieve incredible things far greater than ourselves.✨ (at Palm Beach, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA504k2g4Zs/?igshid=1t71pddyr7z3z

🌸 WOMEN.🌸 We were taught to compete and compare with each other, when the truth is.. we are far more powerful when we connect, support and lift our sisters up. We are all beautiful, talented, brilliant, strong and worthy, and we all have something valuable to bring to the table. ⁣ ⁣ Let’s build our tribe by appreciating each others’ uniqueness and find a way to create and share the beautiful things that come naturally to us: love, compassion, connection, intuition, mind, ideas. The world needs us more than ever to unite.❤️💛🤍🤎 (at Palm Beach, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA5eqrpgXMn/?igshid=189hkm19cpjlj

🌎We must come TOGETHER as one. There is only ONE race - the HUMAN race.✊🏻 Lead with your heart, not your mind that’s been conditioned and programmed through your childhood, upbringing, society and the media. ⁣ ⁣ In a world of chaos and hatred, we need LEADERS of this generation to speak up and encourage the world to UNITE, stand up for each other and make this world a better place beginning with their individual actions.⁣ ⁣ Clichés exist for a reason, and it’s not until we keep digging deep within through self-reflection/discovery/development, that we will understand the TRUE essence of what these clichés actually mean and how we can apply them to our lives. And not just understand, but ACT on it. ⁣ ⁣ Remember, knowledge is not power. APPLIED knowledge is power. It’s time we share our hearts and wisdom with the world, for there is untapped potential far greater than you could comprehend that is begging us to act on it that will give us the world peace we desire. It’s right inside of you - in your chest (heart) and between your ears (mind). Use it. Be it. Live it.⁣ ⁣ In order to change the world, you must first change yourself, otherwise we will spend the rest of our days pointing fingers. #ONELOVE ❤️🙏🏻 (at Palm Beach, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA4P4e1AoT3/?igshid=180rdudgk6td7

💫“You can heal the world with your mind.” – @indiaarie ✨ One of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned is that when life unexpectedly pulls you in a new direction by force or your intuition, it may seem confusing and uncertain... but if you just trust that life is happening FOR you and not TO you, then you can experience the magic of life and the abundance around you. ⁣ ⁣ Knowing that every “no” is a push in the right direction and bringing you closer to your heart’s desire. Trust the process, acknowledge the pain of self reflection so you can have that breakthrough. It’s the only way to experience true peace, love and joy within yourself and everyone around you. Keep going, you’ve got this.❤️ (at Palm Beach, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA0o-ReAIH0/?igshid=1gbq4n6qmyfz4

There are two paths in life we can choose: to live in unity or division. With everything going on in the world, we have to decide which role we want to play. It’s equally important to speak up when there are injustices and stand up for what is right as it is to take personal accountability and reflect on how we’re showing up on a daily basis and how we can improve. ⁣ ⁣ We must ask ourselves what changes can we make in our personal lives that will have the biggest impact on the world collectively around us. We must support each other and come together, listen to one another and make an effort to better understand those around us - their struggles, pain, dreams and perspectives so we can actually move the needle in the right direction. ⁣ Hate only creates more hate and it’s IMPOSSIBLE to have true peace in this world until people realize that their individual efforts is what is going to create lasting change. Not name calling, blaming, hypocrisy, none of that! It’s a battle we’ll never win if we keep living like this. The harmful actions towards others will surely come back to them 10 fold, trust that.⁣ ⁣ We are ONE and until we start acting like it, get rid of labels and understand that it’s not about taking back power versus coming together and loving one another as the brothers and sisters we are by nature, only then will we all experience the true peace, happiness and the sense of community and equality that we all deserve and desire. ⁣ ⁣ Love one another, support one another and always fight for what you believe in but remember that it starts with you. Be the change you want to see in the world. (at Palm Beach, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAwY_FfAQf7/?igshid=11bw0iz7a7xss

Raise your hand if your screen time has gone up tremendously lately?🙋🏼‍♀️📲 With this increased exposure, it’s so important to protect your eyes from blue light damage. One of my favorite designers and proud partners @cynthiarowley teamed up with @zennioptical to create a collection with #Blokz blue light technology starting at $35.95, as they believe everyone should have access to stylish, high-quality eyewear that’s affordable. 👓 The checkout process is quick and easy with tons of customizable lens options from prescription to non-prescription, polarized and photochromic (turns to sunglasses in the light - my favorite!)💗 #ZenniXCynthiaRowley #ad (at Palm Beach, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAvqw8pAE7C/?igshid=e3vbtl8mgvqw

They just opened the beach here in Palm Beach and I couldn’t be more grateful!💛 Being born and raised in Florida, it’s my happy place and where I feel most connected with nature.🌊 I’ve thought about relocating, but the awesome community, weather, easy living and NO traffic is hard to beat. What’s your favorite thing about where you live and if you could live anywhere else, where would you go?🤗✈️ (at Palm Beach, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAtOE4AASqn/?igshid=3squ6gme4viv

🌞Love yourself in your rawest form without judgement. Experience the beauty of stillness and being one with the infinite intelligence that’s inside you. Everyone is born with it, but the only way to truly connect is by silencing the mind and opening your heart. An amazing quote I heard today from @officialralphsmart is that “you must have a breakdown in order to have a breakthrough” and it’s SO true. The path to self discovery is not for the faint of heart, but boy is it liberating! Our entire lives, we’re told who to be, what to do and how to act and take on the limiting beliefs and opinions of those around us. My friends, I’m here to tell you that you’ve been CONDITIONED and PROGRAMMED against your will and it’s time you rise up and FREE yourself! We only get to feel truly liberated when we stop following the masses and chasing external happiness and instead look deep within, get rid of all of the JUNK in our heart and mind, let go of blame and excuses and rid ourselves of everything that we’ve allowed to hold us back. It’s like taking a shovel and digging up everything that doesn’t serve you so you can release it into the abyss and make room for new things to flourish. I encourage you not to ignore the elephants in your room as they will keep showing up until you address them. It’s the universe telling you to pay attention. Allow yourself to go through the painful process knowing that you will be stronger, better, smarter, more evolved and the person you’ve always wanted to be if you would just COMMIT to yourself and go towards your fears versus pretend they don’t exist and run the other way. I’m being honest, it’s hard work and self development is a daily commitment, but once you wake up to the truth, you’ll be CRAVING knowledge and wisdom so it won’t seem like a chore or a drag. In fact, I feel a withdrawal if I’m not learning something new every day and being constantly inspired. Know that you deserve the life of your dreams and the work you’re putting in will be SO worth it.🤗💗🙏🏻✨ (at Palm Beach, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAYXOzCAvJY/?igshid=9zd8rlswa9e1

Just realized my arms are shaped like a heart.❤️ When you align yourself with doing what you love and focus on your natural God-given gifts and strengths, everything will fall into place. If you focus on what your good at and give it your best, you’ll flourish. If you try to fit into a role that doesn’t come natural to you that you don’t enjoy, you’ll experience endless frustration and it won’t be sustainable or fulfilling. There’s only ONE you, so why not be the best at it? I’d love to know, what’s your SUPERPOWER?💪🏻✨ (at Palm Beach, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_lGmvkAGMg/?igshid=655jrz5pg3ou
