Rewriting YOUR story: Facing Fears

Hey Limitless Ladies!

Yesterday I was talking to a friend about the things I said I would do when I grew up as a child. By the time I was in my 20s, 30s and 40s I'd be wearing certain types of clothes, I'd be travelin' and just living my best adult life. I so wanted to grow up and get to those ages - fast!

I also remember fear and confusion. It's like that feeling of pure terror when you were a kid, facing a closed door when you hear a noise you could not place. You had no idea what awaited you on the other side – a robber, a monster under the bed, or something entirely different. Back then, just opening the door could feel like a monumental feat, especially when your siblings teased you endlessly because  you were afraid of the dark on the other side, or they magnified your fears by being afraid with you or  even when your parents keep telling you ' what you afraid of- gwan fo de ting' and you sometimes out of fear of punishment,walked through that door.

Now, flash forward to today. As strong, capable women, that feeling of trepidation might not come from a literal door. It may not come because of literally being afraid of the dark. But maybe it arises when you consider a new venture like finally getting fit, or maybe a trip to a solo destination, or even attempting a new language. Maybe it comes just by thinking how you need to walk into that workplace tomorrow morning and how your going to deal with these difficult people.

Here's the thing, Limitless Ladies: we can't truly discover who we are if we don't explore  and embrace what ignites our souls and push our boundaries. We can't know what we like, what we truly enjoy, until we push past our comfort zones and delve into new experiences.

Think about it: isn't that what the Bible tells us too? Genesis 1:28 instructs us to be fruitful and multiply, to REPLENISH THE EARTH. Nowhere does it say to stay stagnant, to remain unchanged. Growth is literally God's plan for us, it's our destiny!

So, how do we embrace this idea of growth? How do we become the limitless women we were meant to be? 
By facing our fears and pushing beyond them. By becoming warriors within ourselves, rising above the anxieties that hold us back.

Do an experiment with me: Let's embrace the unknown with open arms, knowing that on the other side lies the potential for incredible self-discovery. 
Are you with me? ( Imma assume I heard you scream ' YES!') 
Imagine the lightbulb moment that's ahead when you finally realize what God truly intended for your life.

There's a certain flow that comes with pushing boundaries. The universe conspires in your favor as you step outside your comfort zone. New opportunities unfold, passions ignite, and a sense of purpose washes over you. It's like coming home to yourself, a homecoming you never knew you craved.
Are you ready to shed your limitations, Limitless Ladies?

Here's your call to action:

• Choose one area of your life where you feel stuck. Is it your health and wellness? Your travel bucket list? Your personal development? Your financial goals? Your family? Whatever it is, write it down. Just KNOWING and acknowledging it is half the battle won already.

• Set a small, achievable goal to push your boundaries in that area. Maybe it's trying a new exercise class( you can join mine. We' d talk about that in another post), booking a solo weekend getaway, enrolling in a language learning app, or watching a budgeting YouTube video and implementing it 

Take that first step, my Limitless Lady! Embrace the fear, the excitement, and the unknown. Remember, growth is rarely comfortable, but the rewards are limitless and it can be one heck of an exhilarating experience to find YOU!

We are here to discover who we were truly meant to be, together right? So share your experiences, your fears, and your triumphs in the comments below. We're all on this limitless journey together!

And send this to another limitless lady you know.

Hey, Does Your 'Body Count' Define You?

  Let's be honest, folks. The concept of a "body count" is the talk of many saucy discussions. However this concept, though juicy is actually founded on judgment, shame, and a host of harmful stereotypes. It's a simplistic mind’s approach to a vast and complex issue, reducing a person's total worth to a number, while attempting to increase that persons shame and boost the accusers own sense or appearance of worth, especially if that person is a woman. A post I read on Facebook stirred me enough to put my opinion out on its slanted perspective. Ladies, while it's true that past relationships do shape our present, in both negative AND positive ways, it's equally true that growth, healing, and transformation are possible in the areas that need them once persons are open to them. Countless persons we know who has learnt to define themselves by purpose and impact and not by their past ‘ body count’;  whom had the pleasure to positively impacted their world. J...

Behind the Smile: Navigating Life's Storms

“ Sometimes a smile is just a mask. An antidote to the ragings within your soul of life fighting against your purpose. Against you carving your name in the rock of legacy. Against creating the path in reality that has always existed in your mind. So you smile to not be beaten. You smile so the world knows it has not won. You smile to give a little sunlight to your emotions. Just enough sunlight to not be succumbed by the darkness forcing itself in.” - Lady Ray   As a Limitless Lady, we've all experienced the highs and lows of life's journey. While we often portray a confident and unwavering exterior, the truth is that behind the smile, there can be a tempest raging within. Just like the hot Caribbean sun making everything seems beautiful and bright, but beneath the surface our personal internal La Soufriere volcano is brewing a nasty brew. The pursuit of our dreams can be met with serious resistance, setbacks, and even outright hostility. This is part of the reas...
