Farewell April! 🌸🌼🌷🌼 What "firsts" did you have in April??
For me, April was a month full of tons of firsts! Now that I think of it, it definitely gave me "first month of the year" vibes! My "Let's try this again" month.
1st time completing a painting of the year 1st time serving at church of the year 1st public event with my sons of the year 1st Ofori family date of the year 1st painting sold of the year 1st YouTube video posted of the year
And many more...
April also held the first holiday of the year with my mom in heaven. It was also the first time of the year that I had a personal/business win that I could not tell her about, and here her say, "Congratulations!"
I promise I won't turn my online platform into a sorrowful personal journal - been there, done that, no thanks 😅
I guess what I DO want to acknowledge is that experiencing this level of grief is totally new territory for me. In all honesty, I'm grieving multiple things. Grief can feel weird. Grief is not linear. Grief has a funny way of showing up when you least expect it. Grief can be loud and sneaky at the same time. I like to be prepared for what's coming and jot every and anything in my calendar, but this week, I learned how unrealistic that is. So I pause. I vent. I cry. I GROW and continue to heal in ways I never knew I needed to. I'm grateful. For all the ways grief hurts and is confusing, I'm grateful for all the ways it leads to healing and clarity.
I wouldn't give grief a 5 star rating by any means, but I'm excited to see how God will use this grief journey to help me bloom and blossom in the next version of me. That's one of the many things that help me keep moving forward 🌼🌸
