I've been taking an intentional, physical account of what I'm consuming and interacting with.
These weekly #IntentionalRays, as well as the dedicated posts to some specific content pieces, are a digital manifestation of what I record in my private journals.
♡ I'd love to know if you have any suggestions ... click here to chat ♡

Quotes
◦ "Declare what you want and allow for it to happen. Observe your thoughts in between. Enjoy the process." - @by.janani on TikTok
........"The Law of assumption is essentially a prophecy. Like I am declaring, today, that this is where I am going to end up. It's like you know the ending to your story. And anything that happens in between is plot filler. So even if it doesn't look like it's aligning with your plans, your prophecy is still in place." Declare what you want and allow for it to happen. Observe your thoughts in between. Enjoy the process.
◦ Bloom where you are planted. The grass is greener where you water it.
