You Are Your Ancestors' Wildest Dreams

We are our ancestors’ wildest dreams. Whenever I sum up a complicated thought into a short quip, one of my best friends says, “Another Thea Barrrrr!” And this is one of those Thea Barrrsss, lol… but it’s so true. We are our ancestors’ wildest dreams.

I just finished reading Chapter 2 of my Manifestation for Black Girls book, and this thought was screaming to be written down and shared with you!

I know times can get challenging—in the workplace, at home, or even in your own head. I want you to internalize this message whenever you’re feeling overwhelmed or down. Because if you never do another “exceptional thing,” just know: you are exceptional. You are magical. You are brilliant just because you exist.

Everything we’ve inherited from the generations before us and everything our lineage has survived for us to be here is a MOTHER-FUCKING MIRACLE!!! Do you hear me, sis? A pure miracle. That’s the cloth we’re cut from.

“I got power, poison, pain, and joy inside my DNA. I got hustle, though, ambition, flow inside my DNA.” - Kendrick Lamar

Break down if you need to. Take off work if you need to. Leave your man at home with the kids if you need to. Order dinner if you need to. Take a spa day if you need to. Scream at the top of your lungs if you need to. Put the music on and twerk your heart out if you need to.

Take care of YOU because you NEED you.

I love you and see you, sis.

xoxo,

Goddess Thea

Dedications: This post is dedicated to my best friend who passed away at 36 years old. The weight of carrying everyone and everything was heavy and she was finally granted rest. This post is also dedicated to my mother who passed away at 45 years old. She suffered in silence relationally but held it together like a Goddess until she couldn’t hold it together anymore and was gifted rest.
