To New Beginnings

The start of a fresh journey

To New Beginnings
Sadie Stevens

Since I write 24/7, at the end of every month I'm taking a single line from each day that I journal and I'm going to add to create a poem depicting how I was feeling that day. So this is what January has been for me.

Check out the video I made of all the shenanigans I got up to this month!

January: New Beginnings

We made it, enjoy the adventure of finding yourself through losing yourself in me.

Things are really coming together.

Moving along with what I needed to do next.

Today is the day.

Another day bites the dust.

I fell, hard last night and I was okay with it.

I’m still home and in paradise.

Fasting & praying is key.

Things are good, again, I give it to God.

I got way too much stuff on my mind and I don’t know how to write it all down.

I feel good, but my heart still feels torn.

I’ve gotten over what I needed to and moved on.

Since being back here I’ve changed my mindset.

The worst part was him, it always was him.

My brain won’t turn off again.

People have been reaching out.

God paves the way.

I am exhausted.

Waking up in his presence, I readily picked up my devotional.

Growing requires patience.

My brain is on fire.

I feel beaten, battered & bruised but I have a lot more fight left in me.

I dreamt of him last night again.

Nobody can tell me what to do.

Time has been slowing down and I’m not patient enough.

“Slow and Steady wins the race” they say.

Continuous flow of concentrated passion penetrated my mind.

I’m not sure if it’s my mania that makes me be a force to be reckoned with.


January Video!:

I'm just getting started and I'm so blessed for all the cool things I've gotten to experience throughout the month.

Here's to Feb!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
