About Me, Really?

Well I decided to start a blog.

It’ll be something along the lines of my online diary discussing my personal experiences as a single parent, black woman, recovering addict, maintaining mental health issues, trying to date over 40 with a full matching LV luggage set worth of baggage, being a medicinal cannabis user, write my autobiography, attempt to self-publish, find a way to market my natural hair and body products all while just trying to find time to walk my 3 fur babies and knit.

Oh and I use the “F” word like punctuation.

Anya Nicola’s Mission Statement

I don’t know everything but what I do know is the following:

Power

• Without my higher power I ain’t got shit

• Let go and Let god – my higher power doesn’t contradict.

Family

• Comes first after God – no exceptions.

• Blood related is not a requirement

• Family could even be a stranger I haven’t even met yet.

Purpose

• By the grace of god I’m still alive despite numerous events that should’ve changed that.

• I can’t define my purpose yet but I know god has one for me, my job is to fulfill it.

More to come as I discover them along this journey… stay tuned.

“Healing is so ugly, it’s low self-esteem, it’s resurfacing trauma, it’s crying, it’s not wanting to speak to anyone. It comes up, so we can clear it out and make room for a new outcome and perspective on life. Healing is not a trend! It’s real *expletive* work! You have no idea or maybe you do. Time to grow. I wish you peace.”
