Recently, I've noticed my desire to explore new things again and I love it! You see, when I was younger I went to more schools than there were grades meaning I moved around a lot because of my Mother's occupations at the time. And the funny thing is I never saw anything wrong with it. Being the "new girl" was easy for me and I never found myself behind in curriculum. As a matter of fact there were times when the teachers had to put me in the "gifted classes" to make sure I was being properly stimulated.




(Obviously I think this is pretty cool lol).


As life progressed, my explorer spirit was fueled even more through middle school trips to Washington D.C., Track meets in new cities and family reunions in States I had never thought of. Then as I transformed into adulthood those micro trips would turn into China, Hong Kong, California, Florida, long road trips to Texas, and traveling across the US for work opportunities. And eventually I would make it to Europe, Israel and of course the moment of truth! "Paris!" because "Paris" couldn't live her whole life without seeing France, it just didn't make sense.


Now, at this point the question is "beautiful Paris! but, where is this going?!?".


FAIR ENOUGH!


I am bringing this up because when I experienced the departing of my Grandma who was a main character in my life. My thirst for exploration and new experiences died with her. For years I have struggled and prayed for my zeal of life to return. I mean, colors weren't coloring to me, purpose was purposeless, and new things were on hold because I didn't know what life looked like without my Grandma in it! And I didn't want to embrace the "New things" God was giving me because well.... I was mourning and sometimes that process takes time.


But ya'll! I am back and full of color, prosperity, purpose! Desire, adventure and Exploration. I am filled with creativity, laughter, a Husband, and more goodness than I could ever articulate in this space!


If you have experienced a Great loss in your life, or are struggling with your zest for living then this is your friendly reminder that life happens and depending on the impact it will take time to heal your wounds whether physical, or spiritual but keep on praying, keep on seeking, and keep pressing the spirit because one day you will rise up again and your Explorer will be reignited more powerful and more conscious than it has



ever been!


May the Lord Bless You And Keep you.


Because You Deserve to Live A Great Life.


Till next time, God Bless, Don't Stress, It's Paris!
