Becoming takes time—and every version of you has something to teach you. 🌻

When I read Jacquie's story I realized I am becoming a women who is accepting who I am. I realize that who I am is my life story and it comes with good, bad and in between, but it's all me becoming who I was suppose to be. I'm becoming at peace with myself.

In her anniversary story, Jacquie “Ooh” Johnson reminds us to give ourselves grace, trust our own timeline, and make room for who we are still becoming.

Have you read Kiounis' story “Bloom where you were planted.” If not, you should. The three things I took away from his story is:
🌻 Where are your feet? This is where you live is happening

🌻🌻 You don't have to fix everything today. This is something I find myself doing, which lead to stress

🌻🌻🌻 How can I bloom where I am? Wherever I'm planted right now, I need to make the best of it.

You can read the full story with other take aways at ujimamagazine.com.
