Shout out to you this morning. Shout out to you for trusting God last night while you slumbered. There was no guarantee that you were going to wake up this morning, but you trusted the creator enough to lay your head on that pillow, knowing that you were going to get a good night sleep. Shout out to you for getting up this morning to get your day started. Maybe yesterday was a rough day, maybe last night was a rough night, but you got up this morning and you started moving, and it's going to be a beautiful day. Shout out to you for honoring your temple. You were created in the image and the likeness of God, and revering and honoring your temple is the least that any of us can do.

Shout out to you for discovering that no is a complete sentence. Once you learn that life begins to get better and better and better, there doesn't have to be a well I would but or no, but maybe. No is a complete sentence, and learn to walk in your power and use that word with period behind it. Shout out to you for guarding your heart and being cautious and careful in all the decisions that you make that pertain to the heart. Shout out to you for showing up even when you were broken. We've all experienced heartbreak, we've all experienced defeat, but you have to remember without a test, there can never or will never be a testimony. Shout out to you for sharing your story, for being transparent, for allowing what you've gone through and overcome to be a beacon of light for someone else. Shout out to you for intentionally and deliberately finding your inner peace and holding on to it. In a world filled with chaos and confusion, tapping into your ability to deliberately decide that you are going to be at peace with yourself is priceless. Shout out to you for discerning intuition over desire. Shout out to you for having a source.

Regardless of what your religious affiliation is, knowing that there is something greater than ourselves is extremely important. Shout out to you for proactively keeping your health sacred.

Shout out to you for proactively doing that and not having to be reactive when something happens. Shout out to you for being a shoulder for others to stand on when they need it most.

Shout out to you for constantly working on yourself. If we aren't growing, we're dying. So we are all works in progress and should move accordingly. One of my mantras is I want to be better today than I was yesterday, and in order to do that, that takes growth. Shout out to you for establishing boundaries and demanding that they be respected. You set the boundaries. It's up to other people to respect those boundaries. And shout out to you for making sure that everyone in your life, your circle or your surroundings does just that. Shout out to you for asking the right people for help, realizing it's okay not to be okay. I'm speaking as a black woman and I'm speaking specifically about mental health and how we have for so long put such a stigma on that, until people operate in a state of stress, constantly Realizing that it's okay not to be okay, and asking for help during those tough times is paramount.

So shout out to you for being undefeated.

And last, but most certainly not least, shout out to you for being here.

I don't take it for granted and I appreciate it all. So thank you so much, and this is all I wanted to say. I am honoring you, I am shouting you out and continue to let your light shine.
