Life, Love & All the Above

💜CLOSURE💜
💜
I can't believe you had the audacity to say
you need closure-Closure
an imaginary casket
where two people muddle through the
woulda, shoulda, coulda’s
and speak clichés like - I'll always love you
you’ll always hold a special place in my heart
and we can still be friends
what makes you think I owe you that?
💜
After everything you took me through
spoon-feeding ME!!
small doses of disrespect mixed with neglect
conversations turned into arguments
as you became more and more elusive
what was loving became verbally abusive
your words, cut deeper than any knife.
striking me with a soul-crushing blow
without any bruises to show
so no one would ever know
I was battered
I…was…BATTERED
Manipulated-convinced everything was my fault
you had me questioning my reality -doubting my own sanity
you played the victim -twisted the truth
I tried everything it was just no use
💜
You left me to grieve the death of a relationship
I didn’t even know was dead.
I replayed our relationship
Over…and OVER again in my head
nights, I cried myself to sleep,
wondering where you were - and who with
knowing I deserved better than this s**t
what was loving and passionate
became dark-all our plans, all the dreams,
up in smoke-it had to be some kind of joke.
💜
You reduced us to nothing - but still came around,
to make a pitstop whenever you wanted
some no-strings-attached ass,
knowing I could never resist your ass,
no matter how hard I tried.
loathing myself for accepting
the measly 15 minutes you threw my way
to temporarily soothe
the insecurities you birthed in me
every time you made that pitstop
your touches turned crass - your kisses lacked compassion
every time you left; I was left wondering
what the fu@k just happened
💜
I loved you - unconditionally, without reciprocity…
But one can’t believe
what one can’t conceive.
and I could never conceive,
a life without you and me.
💜
When I finally realized,
I deserved more than you could give
I mustered up the strength
to do what you couldn’t do—leave you
now you have the audacity
to ask- MEEE
for closure – NI**AH - PUHLEEZE
I’m done revisiting the past
I’m done grieving.
I’m done questioning.
I’ve already closed that chapter
and......Hell No. We can’t still be friends
guess I got the last laugh -in the end

"Embracing the Warmth of Change"
Fall is deepening, and the air is turning cooler. The vibrant shades of early autumn are beginning to shift into the grounding warmth of brown.
🍂🍂🍂
Brown is the color of the earth, the fallen leaves, and the trees preparing for the quiet months ahead. It’s a color that represents stability and comfort.
🍂🍂🍂
Brown brings a sense of warmth—a feeling of being at home, of sitting with the steady knowledge that change is part of life. It’s the color of cozy evenings, sweaters, fuzzy socks, and being curled up on the sofa in front of the fireplace. There’s something about it that tells us it’s okay to slow down, to reflect, and to prepare for what’s next.
🍂🍂🍂
We are invited to embrace change and trust that something new is coming. In Isaiah 43:19, God says, “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” This verse is a powerful reminder that change, though difficult, is often the path to new growth. Even when we feel uncertain or lost, God is making a way for us.
🍂🍂🍂
We might be tempted to resist change, to hold tightly to what feels familiar and safe. But just as the leaves fall to the ground, we must release the old to make room for the new. In Romans 12:2, we’re told, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
🍂🍂🍂
Change isn’t just about letting go—it’s about transforming and renewing our minds. As we move deeper into this season think about what warmth and stability you can draw from embracing change.
🍂🍂🍂
From our reflection in September, we talked about shedding what no longer serves us. So, now I ask: What’s one thing you’ve already started to release this season? What’s the next step you’re ready to take? What change are you willing to embrace?
🍂🍂🍂
Comment below or DM me, and let’s continue this journey together. This October, let’s trust the process, embrace the warmth of change, and move forward in faith—just like the steady earth beneath us.

"The Season of Shedding and Change"

It’s officially fall—my favorite time of year! The weather is perfect, and I love watching the leaves turn those beautiful shades of burnt orange, yellow, and brown. It’s such a stunning sight. But beyond the beauty, fall is a season of shedding—just like the leaves—and of change.

Burnt orange, the color of the season, represents warmth and comfort. It’s a time for bonfires, sitting around the firepit with friends and family, or curling up in front of the fireplace with a cozy blanket and a cup of tea. Burnt orange also invokes a sense of security and relaxation, a reminder to slow down and reflect.

Fall invites us to reflect on what we need to release. It’s a time to let go of the things that weigh on our hearts—old fears, doubts, and burdens—so we can prepare for the quiet growth of winter. Just as the trees shed their leaves in preparation for the cold months ahead, we, too, are called to let go of what no longer serves us.

In Ecclesiastes 3:1, the Bible tells us, “To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven. A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot.” Nature reminds us that change is a constant, and each season brings its own purpose. Just as the trees prepare for winter by letting go of their leaves, we must also prepare for the next season in our lives by shedding our worries and doubts.

2 Corinthians 5:17, says, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” Change is not just about letting go but about welcoming the new, the fresh opportunities that come after we release what holds us back.

So, as we enter the season of fall, I want to ask you: What’s one thing you’ve been holding onto? One doubt or fear you’re ready to release? Comment below or DM me, and let’s commit to shedding what no longer serves us this season. Let’s rise like the crisp
autumn air—together. -Coach Passion

Happy Monday Beloveds!
It’s a new week filled with fresh opportunities and new mercies. I was chatting with a friend yesterday. As they were sharing how they were in a “healing” season and the challenges they were facing the Holy Spirit whispered one word to me: “Atonement.”
After we ended the call, I found myself asking God, what are you telling me? What should I take away from this? Then it hit me, true healing begins with the act of atonement. It begins with facing our past actions, seeking forgiveness and striving to right our wrongs. Sometimes our journeys are hindered not only by external obstacles but by unresolved pasts. We often wonder “Why Me?” or “Why is this happening?” especially when we think we’ve done everything right. Yet we might have overlooked the crucial step of making amends.
The Bible speaks on this in Leviticus 16:30 – “For on this day shall atonement be made for you to cleanse you. You shall be clean before the Lord from all your sins.”
Leviticus reminds us that atonement cleanses us, allowing us to be free, to be clean before the Lord, free from the burdens of our transgressions.
As we embark on the new week, let us reflect on the area where we need atonement and embrace the healing that follows reconciliation. May the process of making amends renew our spirits and guide us toward a more harmonious and fulfilling path.
Have a blessed week full of healing and new beginnings.

Chapter 1 To Much of A Good Thing (sneak peek)
💫
The night air was charged with anticipation as Dana slipped through the dimly lit entrance of the Palace, her heart racing with a mix of dread and determination. She exchanged quick, conspiratorial hugs with Maria at the coat check and Joe, the stoic security guard and mumbled, “Listen, it’s crucial Duke doesn’t know I’m here. Can I count on you not to say anything?”
“Your secrets safe with me, Dana.” Maria said.
Nodding, Joe said, “You got it. Not a word from me.”
Dana smiled and whispered, “thank you.”
💫
The club's familiar yet distant hum enveloped Dana as she ascended to the mezzanine, her gaze sweeping over the crowd. The weight of her mission pressed heavily on her shoulders, a silent vow to uncover the truth behind the unsettling calls that had disrupted the fragile peace of her marriage.
💫
The Palace hadn't changed much over the years, yet it felt alien to Dana. The buzz of familiar faces mingled with the energy of new hires, created an atmosphere that pulsed to the rhythm of the club's heartbeat. She navigated through the intricate layout with a practiced ease, her eyes scanning the crowd from her vantage point on the balcony. The club's design, both expansive and intimate, offered a perfect stage for the night's unfolding drama.
💫
Below, Dana's gaze locked onto the too-familiar scene of her husband, Duke, hidden in a corner, cozy with a much-too-young woman, his attention solely focused on her sent a ripple of anger through her.
💫
A slow burn in Dana’s chest, her intuition screaming warnings she couldn't ignore. She just knew this was the woman with the “Body Part” ringtone, by Ciara. At that precise moment she could feel the knife of betrayal being twisted deeper in her gut, a cruel reminder of the distance between suspicion and proof. "Three unknown calls, and now this little show. What are you up to, Duke?" she thought.
💫
Fighting to keep her composure, Dana reached for her phone, her fingers trembling as she dialed Krissy, her best friend, her lifeline in the event of chaos.
“Krissy, it’s about to go down in this Palace. I need backup.”
“Say less. I’m on the way. I’ll be there in 15 minutes. Hang tight girl.”
Krissy's voice, ever steady and reassuring, was a balm to her frayed nerves. Their friendship, had been strengthened in the fires of countless trials. Their bond was a fortress Dana knew she could always lean on.
💫
Dana sat alone at a table in the corner of the club, a glass of her favorite drink in hand. She trusted her husband, Duke, to be exactly who he was. They had their fair share of issues in the past, but he had vowed to straighten up and fly right. Dana ordered a drink and instructed the bartender to have it sent to her table. The table was perfectly situated in the cut, giving her a clear view of the club's main floor, including Duke.
