I’m going to get a little personal, but I’ll be brief. I have a simple message for you, not only for 2022, but for your entire journey on this earth. Whatever it is that you want in life, manifest it! Everything that has happened to us, whether we have enjoyed it not or not, we have manifested it. So I’m charging you, as charge myself, to be intentional and careful about your thoughts so that you are manifesting a life you truly want to live. Thoughts create emotions that in turn create behaviors, and the sum of these produce a life that is fulfilling and enjoyable, or one that is painful and frustrating. I know that it’s easier said than done, especially with all the distractions around us, and all the pain and discord being sewn in our world. But the life you want is closer than you think… In fact, just think…Think about the life you want. Visualize it. Anticipate it. And just be. That’s my mantra this year. JUST BE. Here’s where I get personal, and I hope the following will inspire you to rethink how you’ve been thinking about yourself and your life, because you deserve all the good in this world. You deserve all the love in this world... In 2022 and beyond I am manifesting inner peace, self-acceptance, self-fulfillment, my tribe, my best friend, a healthy, loving partner, wealth, my glow, stronger faith, and the best body I’ve ever had. I’m incredibly grateful to be at this juncture. I recognize how important this moment is.This could make or delay me. It must be a consistent effort on my part to fight the urge to DO things to be loved, accepted, or wanted. I must simply BE–with myself—as myself. I have everything I need already inside me. I do not need anyone’s O.K. I desire meaningful connections that everyone can benefit from–but not at the cost of my self-worth and self-esteem. I am enough! I am dope! If that intimidates some, or if that makes some insecure or uncomfortable, then I pray Allah keeps them away from me, along with the evil eye. If others of them just don’t dig me or value me, that’s okay–they’re just not the ones for me. I took years to get to this place of understanding my worth. I will not continue to sell out. I love Martina, and I will protect her and I will honor her. Martina is a Queen on Purpose. **** Mark your calendars for Hike & Heal: A One Day Retreat on March 20, 2022.
