Mother of Bloomers

So I've decided to call myself "Mother of Bloomers." Truth is, I don't even know why but at the same time, I do. I always call you all "my" Bloomers, but I didn't know what to call myself. I mean, my name is Azalea, but nahhh I wanted something more. 

I've created a garden, or lack of a better phrase, "tribe," in the last 4 years of creating BWA. I think it's appropriate time I'm called "Mother of Bloomers" instead of Ms. Bloom. I think it has a nice ring to it. Not to mention you guys are like my babies & if it wasn't for you guys, I wouldn't be here pushing out so much content. 

Since starting BWA, I've seen much growth within myself and my blog. I couldn't do it without you all. I know this isn't my typical "Earth-day" message, but I don't care. Giggles* anyway… we have accomplished so much! We've had about 3 radio interviews, Our first ever appearance at a serial entrepreneur pop-up shop and mixer. Networked with so many Bahamian influencers, started our YouTube channel (don't forget to subscribe), and fingers crossed for more ACCOMPLISHMENTS to come. 

As for me, I'm still working on myself. It's not easy. I struggle sometimes; there are days when I am angry, jaded, and emotional, but one thing remains the same. My faith & I trust that all will be well, even when I do start to doubt. I've been thinking a lot, and life is strange, but I won't get into that right now. 

I never thought I would live to see this age (I am still a toddler). Every week on a Thursday, when I look in the obituary, I see persons my age dying, whether from sickness, murder, or even unexplainable causes. Some days I fail at saying it, but I thank God for always keeping me safe and covered! This year I need to remind myself daily of the purpose I must fulfill before leaving this earth. I just hope God allows me to. 

This year I chose the colors white & green (I also did have green last year for my earthday). Why? Because of what they represent and what this year will be about for me and my focus.

1. White - Unity, honesty, purity, and peace.

2. Green – Luck, growth, healing, and prosperity

So, to answer your question… this year is all about being honest with myself and others, remaining pure & doing what's right. I want more peace in my life. I know sometimes I disrupt my own peace by stressing myself out and other things, but I am trying to work on that this year. Not to mention, though this may sound a bit harsh, I don't want anyone around me who causes unnecessary drama or negative vibes. I don't like it, I don't care to be around it, and I sure have no problem distancing myself if need be. I need money!!! I am just joking *giggles, but I want to be prosperous. Still, it's not about that but being "more" stable financially & not worrying so much where the $$$ is coming from. It's time to focus on myself, and I know I always say it, but from here on out, I HAVE to put myself first. I want to continue to evolve into the woman I know I am and will continue to be, but I also want to heal. Heal my body & soul before I can continue to love and support others as I do. I need to put more time into myself.  

My breakthrough is coming, and I can feel it (and I cancel every uncircumcised philistine trying to stop me). My prayers are slowly starting to change, and though I may not naturally see them, I can feel them coming in the spirit. But, my Bloomers, you will have to watch and see. Yes. I thank God in advance for what He is about to do in my life. I am excited, scared & nervous, but excited. I just don't want to mishandle what I've been praying for.

Anyway… it's officially my Earthday week and Bloomversary week! I have so many exciting things releasing this week – usually something like this I would post on my special day but not this year. K. Byeeeeeeeee 💚

“Happy Early Earthday, Azalea!!!
