Lenses & Perspectives

When I started my reflection journey back on September 14, 2019 I wasn't aware of what was happening. I just felt the need to journal and let my thoughts out because holding it in is extremely heavy. Since then journaling has become a part of my routine. It became a space for me to look back at things. Little by little as I read back on what I have written down it lit a fire for me. I'd realized that I had been reflecting on each moment all long. The only downside is I kept letting the world get the best of me which pushes me down deeper to the floor than I'd ever intend it to be. I let the world define me instead of being myself and letting the world accept me for who I am. Journaling was the only way I could express myself and let myself be heard. With that Lenses & Perspectives came to be.

The idea of Lenses & Perspectives came to me in the form of a book. A book telling my life story, sharing how it had influenced my daily life, and sharing what my goals and dreams were. As the idea progresses by the end of the week, in my head I have a fully finished book. But, I didn't want to write a book because I'm not much of a reader, myself, and I was sure no one was interested. The book idea then got changed into a blog, a blog which bloomed out of a deeper vision. A vision that has been buried for a long time. One I was afraid to act on because no one believed in me, not even myself. Who knew that the moment I started believing in myself would the vision I once had become an organization in the making.

It has been 2 years since I’ve started and though the journey has not been easy, life couldn’t have been more beautiful. I am grateful for everything and have never been so at peace. For those of you that have been following me from the very beginning I hope you will continue to grow with me. For those of you who are just starting out, welcome! I hope you’ll be inspired to dive into your own journey.

Until next time,

MK
