Two days ago, I quit my man.
Two days ago, I quit my job.
And honestly? The story started long before that.
When Everything Hit at Once
Two months ago, my mortgage jumped, from $1,359 to $4,000. My nervous system went into full panic mode. Stress. Fear. Overwhelm. And yes, I have two kids in college depending on me.
I didn’t know what I was going to do. I just knew something had to change.
The 21-Day Ease Experiment
Eleven days ago, I joined @BeyondTaylor’s 21-Day Ease Experiment. The premise is simple:
- Life is easy.
- Manifesting is easy.
- Creating is easy.
Not because we work harder, but because I AM. Because alignment brings things to us naturally.
My challenge was to stop trying, stop controlling, and start observing my thoughts, my emotions, without judgment or meaning.

And yet… I didn’t.
It was divine intervention that made the choice for us.
Neither of us would have left on our own. Something bigger had to separate us.
The Pain of Letting Go
I ache.
I haven’t been able to eat or sleep since he left.
But I know this separation was necessary.
Holding onto the dis-ease outside my body was holding me hostage to the dis-ease inside my body. Even with my raw plant-based lifestyle and my herbal medicines, I was still spiritually and emotionally sick.
Letting go was the medicine I didn’t want, but needed.
Choosing Ease, Remembering Myself
This season of loss – job, man, stability – has become a season of truth.
Letting go is creating space.
Space for ease.
Space for clarity.
Space for the woman I’ve always been.
In my solitude, I am remembering:
