2023 Q4 Update

 Hello family, 

It's been a while since I sat and wrote something for y'all. I want to write more and truthfully I have been, just on paper. It's ironic that I have my blog, and now I want to publish my personal journal. I know it sounds tooooo revealing. Morbid even. Like why would I want to put my business out there like that? It's really because I want to share a story with people. Not even my story, but the story of my journey. The story of the journey I've taken, but I'm still on right now. 


It feels good to write. To get it out. I can remember sneaking journals when I was little. The things I would write to myself, with the fear that someone would read developed over time. Now I think of it, it was censorship really. Because thoughts are one thing, but actions are another. I don't know if I should've been thinking about what I was thinking about, but the actions that were done were a completely different subject. 

But let's not even get into that. I'm into freedom right now. I'm freeing myself from every limitation I have set on myself. And that's another thing about limitations, for a great part they are self-imposed! How can somebody else "limit" what I want and can do for myself? Now granted, I acknowledge God has blessed me with the full use and extent of my limbs and extremities, however, I have to choose what I do with them. Amen, I hope that blesses you if you're reading, family.


Now for me: I'm blessed. I'm learning peace. I'm resourceful. I'm powerful. And I want you to feel that way also. That's why I'm publishing the journal because I want you to get what I got. Figure out yourself, so you can reach all of the things you want to accomplish. Because I feel I found the method, but I want to tell my story first. 

I'm transitioning a lot of things in my life. I have set big goals for myself. While I admit, I haven't met all of those, what I have received during this year is surreal. It's irreplaceable. Priceless is the power of detachment. "It is what it is" as they say. I feel blessed even to articulate that feeling because I can remember being in a different place. Looking for a different thing, having different thoughts, looking at life differently, honestly writing different words! This is genuine content, with no planning. That's what I want to share, how to do real life - while learning on the journey! 


It's making more sense, even as I write, what the Quarter 4 update is... more of my authenticity showing up in a space where I feel valued. Acknowledging and honoring my own values, and working toward the increase of my own personal value of self. I have not, not because I didn't ask, but because subconsciously I didn't think I deserved it. I'm realizing this now, in real-time, over the past few days. I'm thankful to God for understanding! 


Plan to hear from me more often family! I may have more to say soon!!

Here's a picture of me feeding pigeons in Old San Juan. I felt like a Disney princess.

Introduction: Welcome to my Life

Well hello there. If you're reading this that means you made it to my blog and for that I want to say thank you so much! It also means that you are now my family, so it's nice to see meet you cousin! So after months and months of thinking about starting a blog, I've finally done it and I'm glad you're here to witness it. But first, let me briefly introduce myself. My name is Alexis Gant. I'm 20 years old from Jacksonville, Florida and am currently a junior at Florida State University double majoring in criminology and interdisciplinary social sciences with a concentration in sociology and anthropology (sounds like a lot but it's really not). I am a mother to two beautiful girls, Heaven and Malia. I'm pretty much a loner even though I live for social interaction (probably cause I'm on some different wavelengths). I am passionate about education and the criminal justice system and hope to one day become a defense attorney. I believe in love and s...

Winter Arc 2024: The Mommy Mogul Rebrand

Welcome back to the blog cousins! First, I want to offer you a scripture, Romans 12:2 "Let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think." I have a saying, "Your thoughts become your words. Your words become your actions. Your actions become your reality." Maybe it's not my saying, but it's something that I say and shares the sentiment of Romans 12:2. You can change your life by changing your thoughts. That brings me to the topic of today's blog post. Where am I writing from you ask, my JOB, which I hope to only have for a week longer. What I told you last time, the best thing a job can do for me is what? OKAY! Our completed habit tracker Today, I want to share a challenge that my twin best friends and I are embarking on together. We saw it on TikTok and immediately hopped on the idea. Titled The Winter Arc , the challenge required each of us to pick three pillars where we wanted to create different habits. We then had to identify thr...

The Message of Amos 9:13: Change is Here

Welcome back, family! I'm so glad to be back writing for y'all. Forgive me in advance, because I admit, I feel a bit all over the place and writing always helps me ground myself.  So, this morning, I was following my regular routine. Wake and garden (iykyk), scroll on social media, pack lunches, and start my day hopefully in a positive direction.  I don't know if I told y'all, but I've been tapping into my spiritual gifts more, one of which is clairaudience. Let's hold onto that for a bit. Back to my morning routine, which needs major revision, but I digress. As I'm scrolling, I keep seeing Amos 9:13. I mean KEEP seeing it, from Twitter to TikTok. I saw about 3 videos, made on different dates, with the same message: "It's going to happen faster than you thought." I won't need months or even weeks. The change in my life I'm seeking is happening now. It's been happening for months - probably years.  Now, I don't claim to be holier...
