Reminder: Respect is just the minimum. Effort is just the minimum. Texting back is just the minimum. Being engaged and intentional should just be the minimum. Ladies, it’s time to remember who tf you are… And raise the bar.

It’s true. 🖤

Some people are going to reject you, simply because you shine too bright for them. And that's okay. Keep shining! ✨

…and that’s the tea 😎☕️😉

It’s true. ♥️

June: Be a month of authenticity. Of just being ourselves, without fear. May we stop shrinking to fit molds & take up space, unapologetically… And may we stop waiting for other people to invite us to their table and sit boldly at our own. Even if we’re sitting alone. ✨✨✨

You aren’t theirs to catch, babe.

Sure won’t ✌🏻

Hello, July. It’s a new month. A fresh start. Let go of June. The good and the bad. The happy and the sad. Put down the pen, Let go of where & who you’ve been, Give it all one last look, Then close the book. The second half of 2023 is here. ✨

Okay you guys! I am officially on #Threads! Find me there Mandy Hale ☺️

August: May this be the month we stop replaying the past, stop wondering what we could have done differently, stop torturing ourselves for bad decisions, wrong turns, and crashes & burns, stop trying to put the pieces of broken situations back together...& just. let. go. 🙌🏻

September: Be a month of closing doors I’m not meant to open & opening ones I’m meant to walk through. Set me free from fruitless endeavors & non-reciprocal relationships. Like the leaves falling from the trees, help me to let go of everything not meant for me. 🍂🍃

October: Be the month that teaches me to be like the leaves & just let go. People can do what they wanna do, act how they wanna act…and it NO LONGER DEFINES ME. *I* define me. I am my own, & my happiness & peace & self-worth are up to ME. 🍁🍃🍂

November: Be a month of gratitude. Of counting my blessings instead of my problems. May I be thankful for everything & everyone that flowed into my life in 2023, & even more thankful for everyone & everything that flowed out of my life to make room for what’s coming in 2024. 🙏🏻

December: Be a month of wishes & wonder. Magic & miracles. Awe & acceptance. Clarity & closure. May we pause & look back at 2023 & all the beautiful, terrible things that it held...grateful for what it taught us, & grateful for where it brought us. A new year is almost here. ✨

January: Be a month of new chapters, fresh starts, & clean slates. Help us to close our eyes to old ends & open our hearts to new beginnings...to release all that has been & make way for all that is coming...to fill the pages of this new year with love & laughter, joy & peace. ✨

February: Be a month of LOVE. May I know love & be love, & have eyes to see love. May I celebrate the love I DO have in my life instead of focusing on the love I don’t. Help me to remember that if I want to love others fiercely & well...I have to first learn to love myself. ♥️

March: Be a month of newness. Of new hope, new life, new growth. As the earth awakens from its deep winter slumber, help our souls to awaken & turn toward the sun, also. Let us shake off the dust of all that has been & open our eyes, arms, & hearts to all that is still to come.

April: Be a month of unwavering confidence & unapologetic boldness. May we stop shrinking to fit anyone’s mold & instead rise up in our greatness; owning our stories, speaking our truths, & evolving past any & all spaces that would seek to keep us small.
