My favorite birthday gift 💜
January 8, 2026 at 1:29 AM
Today I'm 39!! Just a month ago I couldn't have imagined entering the last year of my 30s without my dad 😢 but I know he'd want me to smile today, so I will!

Happy Birthday to me!

My dad died on December 24th 2025. Tomorrow is my 39th birthday. This was not how I imagined the start of 2026.

I'm definitely experiencing grief in reality 😢😢😢

I did not imagine I'd be stepping into the new year without my dad still walking this earth. I still haven't fully had the chance to feel. He's been gone a week tomorrow and my heart will never be the same. But I have my sister's and many villages. I am glad he was our dad. Rest well 💙💙

Last night I finished, She Who Knows and picked up Walter Mosley's Touched.

Blue Light is my all time favorite book by Mosley, but Touched came pretty close!

11/10 recommend

Sending healing vibes your way, that is a lot to process. I just finished reading this book, and it really spoke so many levels. Something to consider.

"So how do we transmute grief? Never let it exist without also bringing joy. That we are able to mourn, still means we are here." ~Jay Dodd, 'A Poetic beyond Resilience'

I had a dream about my maternal grandmother the other night. I haven't seen her in my dreams in a long while. But I needed her. The original Engracia, and she came to me. She came for me🌸🌸🌸

Every so often my aunt gives me and little sis moments of magic! I love a good Renaissance Fair, and we both love our new dresses!
