A New Dawn
Hello, beautiful soul. I’m LaMecca, a Black woman, a veteran, a mom, a former roller derby girl, and a roaming spirit. For most of my life, I've been caught in the whirlwind of caring for others, neglecting my own mental and spiritual well-being. Overwhelmed, stressed, and emotionally drained, I mistook this as the norm.
A Divine Intervention
The year 2020 was a turning point. A series of events, including my 44th birthday, a hysterectomy, a COVID-19 diagnosis, my eldest child's unexpected move-out, and a broken ankle, forced me to slow down. Never before had I been compelled to pause. This unexpected break felt like a divine intervention, igniting a seed of healing and self-awareness within me.
A Rebirth
The path to healing has been a winding spiritual journey filled with challenges and self-discovery. I've returned to school, rediscovered my love for art, and embraced my true identity. I've also embarked on a new career path and found my voice.
Why "Becoming LaMecca"?
This blog, "Becoming LaMecca," is a testament to my ongoing journey of self-awareness and spiritual growth. It's a space where I'll share my experiences, insights, and lessons learned. I hope to inspire others to prioritize their mental and spiritual health, embrace their true selves, and embark on their own journeys of self-discovery.
Come along with me as I navigate the complexities of life with a new sense of purpose and more comfort in my vulnerability.
