An original poem from Bobbi's T.M.'s sophomore poetry collection, Twenty2. The nerve of me to let someone steal my joy The nerve of me to let someone dim my light The nerve of me to accept anything half-ass Whew Chile, The nerve of me The nerve of me to subdue my prowess in the face of cowards those who could never walk my walk talk my talk or give my worst on their best days the nerve of me to shortchange myself when it’s time to brag Shop all of Bobbi T.M.'s poetry collections

"I am grateful for what I saw, endured, and overcame" - Bobbi T.M. The month of love, Black history, and social events was definitely one for the books. February breezed by with not one care. I am grateful for what I saw, endured, and overcame in the month of February. She (the month, itself) was needed. I started the month with packing my very first order for my jewelry business, Limat Jewelry, and planning/ hosting my sister’s birthday party. I ended the month in San Juan, Puerto Rico relaxing and enjoying the warm, tropical weather. I feel that each month offers another facet to one’s personality. You start as one version of yourself, and quickly develop into another by the end of the month. As stated in my January ’24 Recap, the goal was to see my own progress, and that is exactly what I saw by the end. I excited, and oh- so optimistic about what’s to come in the month of March. I encourage you to reflect on your month. Much love and light to you on this journey! As always, Be Well!

"Seeing progress will always be the goal!" January 2024 has definitely been many lives in one. I’ve changed and grown so much. It’s like I can feel my frontal lobe developing ahead of me turning 24 this year. I’ve let go of a lot. A lot of burdens. Heartaches and headaches alike. I’ve blossomed and opened up in ways never imagined before. In the last 30 days, I feel like I’ve preserved the best parts of myself. A skill that I had been lacking for some time. I finally feel “grown.” With this growth, I feel totally optimistic about the year ahead; more so my personal year ahead. I’m excited to see how I become better and greater in every aspect. Speaking — and occasionally, writing lol —vitality over myself has been my saving grace thus far. Both in this past month, and for the past few months. I could definitely be the Prozac speaking, but I wanted to give up the hindrances, and I’ve done some. But, I know I could do more. That sentiment is truly a reflection of the month I’ve lived. A beautiful mixture of breaking down and building up better. I encourage you to reflect on your month and see how it sets the tone for the rest of the year. Seeing progress will always be the goal! Much love and light to you on this journey! As always, Be Well!

"Take your time and all will be well." - Bobbi T.M. Happy 2024! As we start out the year, optimism is definitely felt in the air. However, I feel like there is a call to approach the new year slowly. Not out of fear or hesitation, but out of respect to our full wellness. I’ve had the choice to respect my full wellness by taking a two- week personal, vacation from work. In these two weeks, I realized how much I was operating from an exhausted, deprived state. Again, the only way to approach this is by centering myself; going slow and steady. This is my new outlook for the year. Take your time and all will be well.

In the midst of it all, I remain grateful. In this season of my life, I am coming into full understanding of how no one is exempt from riding the waves of life. These waves can be moments, feelings, and days where you feel so deeply. Experience so much. Cry all the tears you can. The highs of highs, and the lows of lows. In these waves, you have no choice but to surrender. Surrender to the process and surrender to a higher power. In these seasons, you can feel hopeless and like God has counted you out. However, its quite the opposite. These are moments where you can master stillness and maintain gratefulness. In this, I am becoming aware of how to maintain gratefulness because I, wholeheartedly, believe that this is a set- up for a phenomenal testimony. Take the time to set in your season of lessons, and become fully cognizant of what is needed to elevate you to the next levels. You live to love another day. Be Well!

"You are only lifting yourself higher to the Source, and your purpose." Lately, I been noticing the spiritual shift in my world to separate, so that better can come in. The shift has shown up the most in my relationships with others, but has been an overall call in my life. The separation of bad habits, self- limiting thoughts, inconsistency, and dead weight — both physical and mental. It’s time to shed. As I’ve said in other posts, you never know if someone is stepping out of your way for better, or you’re being moved out their way for the better. Either way, it helps in elevating to better. In all things, remember to not fret that’s it over, but smile because you made it through. We become so much better, as humans, when we take time with ourselves. When we nurture ourselves. When we get in tune with our star players — ourselves. When you give up all the things that’s anchoring you down, you begin to float to the top. Feeling lighter and freeing than ever. This can look like shedding tears for the not- so-great moments or reminiscing on the greatest moments thus far. In separating, in whichever way you see fit, you are only lifting yourself higher to the Source, and your purpose. - Be well!

Original Prose By Bobbi T.M.

"Simple trash to treasure, or treasure to trash moments..." - Bobbi T.M. Sometimes, all you need to do to spark momentum, is simply taking out the trash. I’m not just talking about physical trash. I’m talking about the trash thoughts, trash behavior, and trash mentalities. Lately, I’ve felt myself being called to take out physical trash that’s lingering, and some spiritual trash that’s been lingering too long. Taking out the trash allots more space in your life, and overall more room to fully think and fully breathe. On the contrary, while you’re only thinking about easing up your own burdens by taking out the “trash,” you may be also easing the burden in someone’s else’s life. Simple trash to treasure, or treasure to trash moments that happen to be occurring. Be Well!

"...it is important to be rooted in your own sense of self, and living your best life." -Bobbi T.M. A famous line from my mother’s favorite movie, Shawshank Redemption, is “get busy living or get busy dying.” That famous line has been replaying in my head for the last year. As mentioned in several blog posts, 2022 was a year of personal upheaval and drastic change. In all of the highs and lows that the past year had brought, one major lesson that was constantly reiterated for me was the importance of being occupied with living. Not surviving, but actually living. Especially with the current state of the world, it important to be rooted in your own sense of self, and living your best life. I recently took a trip to Atlanta, Georgia and attended Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour; all of which took place in the same weekend. I, personally, felt that these two events revitalized my sense of enjoyment in my own life. The weekend’s events truly inspired me to prioritize being busy with living. Living that encompasses enjoyment, excitement, and joy. The aforementioned moments reignited a passion in me to complete my already drafted goals and new goals. The main goal for me, this year and beyond, was getting busy living. And I’m doing just that. I encourage you all to partake in an activity (or few) that you know will reignite the flame in you to get busy living. So let’s get to living, y’all! As always, Be Well✨

"Finding the light at the end of tunnel." A quick vent session (LOL): I recently took a week long break to recuperate from the last few hectic months. A week wasn't long enough, but it definitely helped me to begin evaluating the "clutter" that has surmounted in my life. In meditating, through my own personal woes, I had the profound epiphany that I had lost my passion in doing so many things. The burnout is REAL! And in that, I realized that my passion for my hobbies, jobs, and other things has been diminishing in the last few months. There have been so many highs, but new lows have emerged. Even with recently graduating, accepting a job offer, and being admitted to multiple graduate programs, I don't believe that I've set aside time to revel in it. It's partially due to burnout, and the other due to no longer being passionate. It seems like a double- edged sword. I took some time away from blog content creation, so writing this very post is a halfway attempt to reignite the passion for my creative endeavors. Getting back to the basics, and returning to the very essence of what I initially intended my creative pursuits to be, has helped me tremendously. I understand that fueling passion takes time, so I encourage you all to take the journey with me in reigniting our passions, and returning to our foundational motivations. Be Well. As always, be sure to comment, share, like!

Season of Elevation, Growth, & all things Great! I recently graduated college. I received my Bachelor's degree in Psychology with a minor in Sociology. I also finished with a 3.8 GPA. "Whew!" is the only sentiment that I can think of for this great feat. My graduation was preceded by my 23rd birthday, and a promotion for work. This past month has been a whirlwind of great things happening for me and to me. I am beyond grateful for all the blessings that I have been receiving. In reflecting on these moments in my life, I realized that this graduation season extends far beyond the academic realm in my life. I’m not just talking about the academic ceremony. I’m talking about the elevation moments in life. Those moments that requires stepping into a new era. New feelings. New people and new things. Excitement is the theme for this new season of my life. I have closed out so many old chapters in my life. A clean slate is in front of me, and I want to seize all the moments that I can.
