I guess I should start with I made it beyond a quarter century, I actually made it another decade plus 3. LOL I love corny, almost nerdy jokes. If you didn’t laugh this may get a little rough but follow me. In 2018, I started a blog called “Findin my niche”. It was an interesting time, I was in the middle of my master’s degree, full time job (maybe 2 or 3), caring for family and friends (I enjoy that…sometimes), and just trying to date and be in this adult world I didn’t ask for. You’ll eventually maybe get more details around the depths of that time just know I lost a lot but GAINED more than I even thought I needed. 

My daddy (yes, we still call our daddy daddy) moved to New York and while visiting and being a nosey child, I saw a book “What do you do with an idea?”. The youngest daughter in me was confused why do you have a children’s book in the house, and he explained they read it in his meeting *whispers* it made him cry and he had to have it. Well, I read it, and it made me cry and now I have all three of the books in the trilogy. I recently revisited it and boy it hits waaaaaay differently this time than it did back then. During that time, I was on a self-journey of just doing and being whatever my heart and soul desired but somewhere along the way I got trapped in a web that looked pretty but boy it was messy and left me silent and closed off from my own growth.

Mosaic Echoes was born when I realized my voice got lost in everyone’s idea of who they believed I was and who they wanted me to be. I was confused at all the relationships that were falling apart in my head because I didn’t see what was different with me. Y’all it was wild, I was given a gift that I didn’t realize. Wherever my head was at the time, literally everyone I would encounter would have situations that appeared the same but had vastly (look at that vocabulary) different KEY POINTS. 

I am an introvert that presents as an ambivert sometimes when I actually do all of my self care things or I know ahead of time. It’s really insane to experience in person but my close family and friends understand. Daily I have conversations and the most requested is “I wish I could have you in my pocket”. Well, I can deliver and do it in the comfort of my own spaces. 

I’ll always leave three gems at the end either a question, thought, petty engagement, anything for today I leave you with:

1. One of my favorite sayings is “gotta get back to the basics”. I highly recommend getting “What do you do with an idea? By Kobi Yamada”. The pictures tell a beautiful story and it’s really good for a self-discovery journey. 
2. It’s okay to acknowledge everything you have lost. Sometimes you really F’d up a good thing and you have to work on yourself to make sure that you don’t keep yourself in that headspace. There are also times that loss was an absolute GAIN but you haven’t seen the light just yet. Either way, hold out hope and work to be better. 
3. I ramble, I love to laugh, and the subjects change. 

Until next time, think about what part of you needs healed today!
