If you're familiar with any of my books, then you know that I've been through a lot, I've put myself through a lot, and writing the truth about the good, bad, and everything in-between is ultimately what helped me navigate through my emotions, confront myself, heal, and grow.

I put together this journal based on some of the entries from my own past journals that really helped me see things clearly back then; they forced me to get my sh*t together. If you’re ready to face yourself, and be really honest with yourself, maybe the prompts in this journal can help you to get your sh*t together, too.

​

EXCERPT: 

​

A self-love journey is a personal one, which is why no one can ever really tell you exactly how to love yourself.

What you need to do for yourself won’t ever be the exact same as what I need to do for myself, or what another woman needs to do for herself. We may have been through, and also put ourselves through many of the same things, but those things affected all of us in different ways, and because of that, we all have our own layers to peel back. Some us have wounds that are sitting on top of our hearts, others of us have wounds that are buried deep within our spirits, while many of us have a mix of both—how many layers you have to peel back to get to yours, might not be the same amount of layers another woman has to peel to get to hers.

 

There is no one who can ever tell you exactly how to love yourself, but those of us who had to learn how to love ourselves, can tell you exactly where you need to start:

You stop running from yourself, and you start getting up-close, personal, and honest with the woman in your mirror.
