🌸 I’m Back, Baby… With Main Character Energy

Hey beautiful souls,

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve written a blog post. I’ve definitely been MIA—not just in blogging, but in a lot of areas. And of course, my brain started spiraling:

“I’m not doing enough. I’m not being consistent. I’ve already given up.”

But here’s the truth:

💭 I’m not giving up. I just needed a break.

I never stopped doing all the things… I just stopped writing about them as much.

Even journaling took a hiatus. And if I’m being fully transparent—I feel like I was avoiding something. Not quite sure what, but the thoughts and feelings are still there, ping-ponging around my mind. I just haven’t been writing them down.

But you know what? I’m still mindful about where those thoughts go, and that’s the point, right? 🙏

✨ We can’t be perfect every day. Some days we fall off. The lesson is to get back up and keep going.

So here’s me… getting back up. Again.

Putting myself first. Living the life I want. Not just for show, but because this is my life—and I’m in control more than I realize. 💫

🌟 Life Lately… A Quick Recap

A lot has happened these last few weeks. I’ve been sharing bits and pieces on socials, but let’s do a quick recap here:

📚 First Official Pop-Up with House of Reclamation

I had my first ever pop-up with the amazing House of Reclamation community. And let me tell you—words don’t do this group justice. These women have opened their arms and accepted me just as I am. They’ve met me where I was, lifted me up, ignited a new spark, and given me space to be unapologetically me. 🤍

That’s something I’ve never really experienced. I’m still learning how to receive it.

This group doesn’t let me keep myself small. They challenge me to put myself out there. They question my limiting beliefs, they require me to grow. And honestly, it’s exactly what I need.

I’ve kept myself small for so long that sometimes I don’t even realize I’m doing it. It had just become second nature. But not with these women. They hold up a mirror and say, “Look—here’s where you’re shrinking.” And then they give me the tools and space to rewire those beliefs, to explore new perspectives, and to align with the highest version of myself. 🌱

🫣 The Day of the Event

I was anxious all day. No matter how welcoming this group is, my body still thought I wasn’t safe. Trauma brain, am I right? 🧠

I gave myself so many pep talks that day. But it all worked out. I showed up in community with my people, I had my first pop-up, and… I sold some books! 📖✨

It was an amazing experience, and I’m beyond grateful to these women for inviting me into something so much bigger than us individually. I cannot wait to see the magic we create together.

✨ What’s Next?

This month is already lining up beautifully:

☕ Pop-Ups Open to the Public – I’ll post specifics once confirmed, but I have collaborations with a local café, a salon, and a market in St. Clair Shores. Supporting small businesses while building my own is such a dream come true.

📍 Thursday, July 17th – Tuscan Cafe, Downtown Northville

They’re graciously letting me pop up and lounge with my bookshop in their space. I am beyond excited! Come visit, grab a coffee, grab a book, and let’s read together. 🤎

📸 Upcoming Branding Shoot

This time, it’s all about the literary side of me. The vision is to capture my multidimensional magic—the light, fluffy romance side and the dark, fantasy romance vibes of The Lit Lounge. The reader, the writer. The whole manifesting generator soul that I am. 🔥

Because no matter the season or the story… the common denominator is ME.

I’m not here to choose. I’m here to try it all.

So I’ll be coming with ALL the Main Character Energy. ✨💃📖

Thanks for being here. For reading, for witnessing my journey, for letting me show up messy and real. I love sharing this life with you.
