Life Lately: Fall 2020

It's Sunday evening, which means the gates of KIY'S KINGDOM are unlocked. This week I'm introducing life lately posts. About every three months, in between the routinely scheduled blog content, I plan to update you on the episodes of my daily life. Connecting with you kings & queens through my personal experiences & interests will be my way of demonstrating that I'm not just preaching- I'm taking my own advice. God's favor & the universe's protection has been so present in my life throughout September, October, & the first half of November.

Daily Life: Family Days, Being a TT, & Growth

This autumn, I've certainly spent an abundance of time inside & surrounded by my family. Although weekly family days at my mom's consist of laughter, positive vibrations, and top notch meals year round; our fall dinners genuinely reach a different level of comfort. I'm immensely thankful for these days, my tiny tribe, & to have a momma who's a PRO in the kitchen!

Needless to say, being a TT is an essential aspect of my day to day life. My babies are visibly evolving & acquiring new knowledge everyday. Ayden Jeremiah is his usual hyper self. He's been particularly feisty lately- yet we always end up at the root question "TT are you my bestfriend?" (the answer is & forever will be yes). Averie Juliet & Avarae Josie are both transitioning into genius, spirited toddlers. They absolutely adore reading books, dancing, & playtime with TT. About a week ago, I was experiencing one of the most emotional days I've had this season. All it took to cheer me up was quality playtime after work with Ayden & the girls in my room. One thing's for sure, the bond I have with my nephew & nieces is treasured. I cherish my days as a live-in auntie as much as possible because I know these are temporary, yet valuable memories.

Aligning myself & cleansing my chakras has remained a priority- I've learned plenty about myself & my habits through studying & journaling. Blogging has manifestly become a key component of my life this autumn. I launched KIY'S KINGDOM at the beginning of September & I'm appreciative of the kingdom's initial impact thus far. The content I have planned for the future months is truly causing me to feel inspired, motivated, & empowered. Wanna know what else has triggered these powerful emotions? The results of the 2020 election! I've always been somewhat of a politic girl, so naturally I was delighted to vote in a presidential election for the first time- I even managed to piss a few people off in my feminist hoodie, yay!

Work:

Back in August, I made the decision to accept a new job opportunity. The transition has overall been a blessing, eye-opening, yet still a blessing. I'm grateful that I have the chance to work in a professional setting with my sister & I'm content with my schedule. Although I've worked here for a short period, I was recently presented with the offer of a higher position (which came with an adorable purple office, right next to my sister's). Personally, I feel as if I'm mastering my new responsibilities rapidly & I don't mind the work at all. Nonetheless, there's the occasional bullshit, messy, or shiesty behavior you may experience in any workplace. I simply remind myself that the universe will take care of all. My priority is securing my check while taking advantage of the opportunities granted to me.

Music & TV:

If you know me, you know I've been a reality tv stan since I was about six years old. A new favorite of mine is Big Brother & I highly recommend it to all you masterminds out there! I've even gotten my mom hooked on it (we binge watch the show together at least once a week). As I mentioned, aligning myself has been vital to me. Since I'm watching loads of Big Brother daily - a show full of deception & manipulation - I've tried to balance the vibes with my music choices. Every morning & night, Goapele x Closer has cleansed my aura & help reset my tone. My manifestation playlist is full of gems that I would absolutely love to share with you kings & queens one day. Without a doubt, Ariana Grande is a jewel & the majority of her music speaks to me. Her new album, Positions, has blessed me with so many feel-good, confidence building jams: my hair, motive, obvious, & west side are just a few.

As I elevate, I appreciate how well life is constantly treating me. By no means are things perfect & I'm aware they won't ever be. All I can do in this crazy lifetime is maintain my sense of security & know I am on the path destined for me. Each season of my life leaves me filled with gratitude & this magical period has brought my dynasty, KIY'S KINGDOM, to life. This has so far been a productive, cleansing, & peaceful fall. I plan to conquer the remainder of the autumn & properly welcome the energy of winter. I hope you're all preparing new projects for the hibernation months!

i'll update you kings & queens with another life lately post in february,

KIY
