✨Hi Beautiful People! 🌈🌞 Do you have a dream, a goal or an idea that you would love to try to pursue, but you don't know where to start? Or maybe you don't know where to go next. Ready to get unstuck and get moving, making and doing? I am launching The First Cohort of a group program to "Get Unstuck and Get Started" in August. Interested? Sign up for the Wait List: forms.gle/dKSsFFBgkXsw6ADq8
This definitely resonates with me. I am currently choosing to go with the flow. Yes it will be uncomfortable. Yes there will be hiccups. Yes I’ll have to start over. Its ok. The goal is freedom.
"My child self had it right, I just never gave her the chance." So true. All the things I'm trying to make space for now in my adult life are things I valued as a child - making things with my hands, creating art and whimsy in my life. I used to write my journal entries on sheets of paper, burn the edges of the pages on the stove and bind them with twine like ancient scrolls LOL. I missed being silly. I missed the joy of admiring something I made. It's so crucial to make time for yourself. Another great video! ❤️
Totally get the dynamic of having multiple passions/interests and feeling "all over the place." But the truth is that it's actually a gift to have different passions and talents...and to be good at all of them 😅
Giiirrrl, you doing shows, concerts, tours moving around in your RV ... I absolutely see it. Can't wait to witness it untold. Your creativity is ABSOLUTELY beautiful and healing to witness.
@@AleciaRenece ❤️ You're more than welcome! Watching your videos has been making my days as well. I even go to sleep with them playing in the background 😊🙈 Thank you so much for your faithfulness with your projects and this channel!
The “tend to your garden” segment hit me the hardest. My garden has been not tended to these past couple of months (feeling tired all the time, low energy, etc) and it’s time for me to start tending to it again. I’m committed to this journey for a year!
first part changed my life - I am about to enroll in a new college, been in college since 2016, did a bunch of stuff in-between like serve a 1.5 year religious mission, took a year off to transfer to a college to be near my spouse who got back into his dream university after dropping out for me to spend time with me at my college and marry me, its been a messssss, an overall stress free relaxing mess tho... but now that im going to his same dream college (UCSD) I decided I am going to TRY FOR 1 YEAR !!! JUST make it a year of trying till July 2023.
If you do nothing else for the rest of your life, the CLARITY of THIS MESSAGE is PRICELESS to MANY. We all look forward to the multitude of beautiful expressions in all of your art forms in the future. You are exquisitely brave in your vulnerability and transparency.
26:06 I was feeling like that with my UA-cam two years straight editing, key word research, even taking paid courses on how to do UA-cam. Two years later I had done all that work and only had 70 subs... Fast forward to April of this year. My grand daughter was born. I posted one video named we got a baby for Easter 🐣. Ever since my channel has been growing. I'm at 343 subs. I thought I was Failure and would never grow... Part of me still wants to think well you only have 343 subs, that's not that major. The other side says I'm finally on my way... You have been a great influence to me since I found your channel, and I will spread the things you taught to the next...
LEARN as you GO is the WAY OUT!! ... & letting go of PERFECTION!!! ... it WILL pan out ... but YOU FIRST have to get STARTED!! .... YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN'T CARE what OTHER PEOPLE THINK... YEEESSSSS @ DO IT MESSY 💅🏿🧘🏾♀️ JUST DO IT!!
I believe 90% of the artists that are making millions or billions in some cases don’t even have a high school diploma. Most are just drop outs who was at the right place at the right time. Most success comes through who people know or who they blow (lol). Just enjoy your life, keep doing what you know is best for you and if by chance your success comes along the way, let thy will be done.👍🏾💯🇺🇸
"We have the right to improv our lives." Your wisdom is necessary and appreciated! Your words help me see my own truth. YOU ARE CHANGING LIVES!!! THANK YOU!!!
Thank you so much. I'm in the Caribbean, I lost my mum February 2022 and I would like to relocate to Mexico in the future. Therefore I would like to commit myself for a year to make this so much more possible than it I can be for me right now. I'm here for it.
Viv Green I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. I am sending you love, support and my deepest condolences. 😔 I am believing with you that you can do this 💛💛💛
@@AleciaRenece : Thank you so much even though there are times I am in denial that she will come through the door any evening as a result, I am still unable to disrupt her stuff. Every time I think of relocating and as I researched, I see myself there, carrying on with my daily life so yes I want to commit myself for a year in Pursuit of getting there.
Needed this! Needed this! NEEDED THIS! Discovered you on my 4 hr drive back home and Ms Maam. Got me all the way together with this message! I adore this! And you for this!
I 100% agree it’s time to go with the flow. Please let me know when you start your classes I would love to support and learn. Peace and Blessings to everyone!
If we don’t give ourselves the grace to experiment and actually try to live out our dreams imperfectly, it will probably lead to a life of regret and what-ifs
I am an Aquarius/ Sagittarius. We are so much alike. I am a free spirit, adventurer with so many interests and a few gifts. I want to do all that I desire to do. I would it if we were accountability partners. Do what tour heart desires. I too, am intentionally pursuing " some" of my dreams. I did lose quite a bit because I let go of a lucrative trucking business, but the loss forces me not to look back
Listen, you preached a whole sermon. This is resonating with me as I’m planning another solo trip to enjoy my birthday, but to be creative, reflect, and just “be” without societal influences. You’re saying the right thing and the right time! Found out weeks ago, that I will be getting laid off from my job in the next couple of weeks and the date happens to fall on my bday 😅. I decided I want to disappear for a while and just get in my element. Thank you so much for sharing!! I’m committed🌹
You spoke directly to me, Sis! Thank you! I just came across this message and it is an affirmation, as I made a HUGE decision to pivot and go after something that has been going after ME! I, too am a dreamer who realized that the dreams will all come true as I allow FUN and peace to be my guide. As of yesterday, I chose the idea that is FUN, makes me HAPPY, brings me peace and joy, and trust that the other downloads of dreams will fall into place in the same way - when it is FUN, feels like peace and joy! I salute you and join you in this year of yes and YES to ME! Peace and love, Sistren! Great work here! GREAT CHANNEL!
GREAT VIDEO; Thank You. This Is So Timely (For Me) Because, Last Week, I Decided To Commit To Myself To Do Two Things: a) Give Myself 12 Months To Save So I Can Travel To Japan (AGAIN) Or Just Back To Travelling…b) Do Some Exercises Every Day, Even If It’s 10 Minutes Or One Hour! These Commitments Are To Myself & I’ve Already Started TRYING! I Don’t Have To Be Perfect (As You Say) Just START DOING! I Wish You Well On Your Fabulous Journey.🌹
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!! Congratulations!!! This is so exciting!!! I'm rooting for you. Yes. Approach it with love and grace and you can't lose. Much love and joy to you!!!
Thank you for the inspiration! There’s so many things I want to accomplish but, I’ve always been my worst critic because my projects aren’t “perfect” but after listening to your words several times I’m ready to step out of my “comfort zone”. I’m preparing for back to back surgeries on both knees which will enable me to walk with ease after years of limited mobility. During my recovery and in between rehab sessions I will work on releasing myself from the self-imposed restrictions that has disabled me for far too long and begin to live that “Hippie” life I’ve longingly desired. Once again, thank you for the nudge and the wonderful words of wisdom. Peace and Joy to You and You’s
Hello my Beautiful Friend!!! You are a LIGHT! A Beautiful Light, and I thank you for being you, you encourage me to be me! I am working on making it happen in my life, I am sooo hungry for it. I'd love to hear your music live! Get that tour together!
That "Who do yo think you are" comment is REAL!!! So many clowns out there trawling the internet just step on people with their own feelings of failure and low self worth. Here's to stomping the MFs out with our own perseverance and audacity. #indomitable
Even though I don't know AT ALL what it looks like, I'm committed. Committed to the process and the journey. I'm also excited about my new membership here
"Most of us are so fixated on the trees that we miss the sprouts growing from the ground" I feel like modern time today resonates with this statement, but eventually time will tell and time will reveal in its own way the direction we have to go. Because whats aggravating is watching the same tree everyone else is watching, and instead we look to not see what being payed so much attention to. Doesn't mean we look away, we just pay alittle more closer attention to what matters more. We can be looking in the same direction but doesnt mean im. Looking at what your looking at 🤓 Sometimes it takes for tgis moment to redirect or readjust our focus. As if lining everyone up to see the same picture but what stands out to you? What speaks to you? What do you like? The tree is only the ending, the sprout are the beginning, and what's in between is all its gonna take to becoming as content as this big tree.
@@AleciaRenece it’s so funny because I wrote that comment before listening to the video and then you mentioned Shameless Maya 😂😂😂 But you’re absolutely right about us procrastinating… God has been telling me to do something on social media for quite a while now. I have to keep reminding myself that obedience is better than sacrifice… my disobedience isn’t going to help me in the long run
Beautiful video. God is amazing. If you check out the last "Therapy Thursday" video on Redefined TV with Pastor Jerry Flowers, you two are hitting on the same things! It's even literally titled "Worst Case Scenario."
Hi Alecia. I am feeling super stuck in my city. I have safety here but it is stifling to me for some reason. I could go to another city but would need to support myself, probably by doing some kind of kitchen work etc....I want this to be a special year for me, a year that is alive again (the past four years were kind of naaah). When I hear you speaking about what you like doing, it resonates: photography, documentary, singing, writing, yes....all of these things are things I want to do. But I find it very hard to just get started (perfectionism....yeah). It's like where to get started? I know, I know....procrastination....and yet.....Yes! I want community, I want freedom, I want joy....but yeah, at the same time I have my issues.....trauma that needs to heal etc....You are an inspiration to me for sure. Trying to take in your words and to let it carry me forward.
I so appreciate hearing that other people feel the same way I do. Waiting for perfection has kept me stagnant for way too long. But this video is right on time - August 2022 to August 2023 (at least) is going to be my yes year. Let’s go!
I swear we’re kindred spirits 😂! I literally was saying all of this stuff in my twenties and no one took me seriously and now that we’re in our thirties people are finally getting it 🖤Love your energy keep going!
I got a divorce, so people shame me and was very negative about it. The whole process was very toxic when it came to other people. I free myself from other people's expectations. As far as what I want for myself and my growth after my divorce is for me and good for me. One thing about the truth some people have control issues as far as me I know the puzzle I'm working on for me big picture of my life needs not the opinions of others. I love a beautiful quote that says, " When writing the story of your life, make sure your holding the pen in your hand. 🙏🦋❤️ I made up my mind that I don't want to live the rest of my life in the USA I want to move to another country. You said it beautiful lady. " I don't want to live my life in a box"! More importantly I refuse to live in the box of others. May ever good, beautiful and wonderful thing find you and keep you. You are a gifted woman you have alot of passion when talking. I too have a passionate heart on alot of topics in life for people. It's time to pour good onto myself and like you turn around and offer the positive things back to those around me. Our words can be like rain on the soil of the lives we touch amd have open, healthy, yet positive conversation with as well. I do positive affirmations everyday about myself. I believe them as well.
You are wonderful and so is your message. I started my year of me two weeks ago (6/19/22). I am excited to embark on this new journey! #fellowscatterdperson #imperfectionisok
Exactly!!! 💛 They're really the loudest ones because they are, technically, "safe". They're not having to be vulnerable. They also probably have dreams untapped as well and are projecting all of that on us trying folks.
Great video! This video came to me at a time where I was asking God should "I change careers". I've been working in a job that just drains me, it's so unfulfilled, and beyond toxic for more than 15 years. I have a potential job off in a completely different industry but I'm doubting myself. All I know is that crazy toxic work environment that I currently have and I'm just scared that I may not do a goo job with this new one. Listening to you just made me realize that I am good enough. If others can see it in me then I should see it within myself too. I may not know everything about this new industry but I can definitely learn along the way and be the best that I can. Thank you!
I saw your thumbnail last night for the Don’t Forget to Live video and I saved it in my watch later to look at today. I am so glad I came across your channel. I relate so much to you that it’s scary. I have been going through my perfection crisis and this video was right on time. Thank you for this much needed confirmation that I don’t have to be perfect. So many people look at me that way that i have felt the need to take that persona on. I am so happy that I am freeing myself from this. Definitely subscribing to your channel! I am committed. ♥️
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! I'm so glad you resonated with this! This is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I'm so excited for you. I believe in you. Let's do this. I completely understand taking on a persona someone else gave me. It was causing me so much pain, but when I started to shed it, I started feeling such freedom. And I love that you are committed. Much love and joy to you! And welcome! I'm so glad you're here!
Thank you for this video. I was feeling discouraged. I needed a pep talk and I appreciate how real, authentic, and honest you are. I could connect with it deeply. It was like you were being a good friend, showing up, and reminding me what I needed to hear the most but I had drowned out with my own discouragement and negativity towards myself. I want to commit to getting out and doing the things, being gracious to myself, living my best life this year. Thank you for showing up to make this video.
if all the affirmations i have been thinking of and writing down were to be put in a video, this video was it. you said all the things i have been thinking, all the new conclusions and realizations i have been coming to...you even said things i hadn't thought of yet (but would have wanted to ☺️). especially when you were ranting...i felt like i was listening to myself work all the kinks out of my mind and get myself into a more expansive and abundant mindset. your words raise the vibration of those who are ready to listen and see behind the illusion that society throws in our faces. the message is a good one, and i'm happy to be along for the ride on your youtube channel. keep up the good work. 👍🏾❤️🔥 p.s. shonda rhimes has a book i need to finish reading. the book is called "a year of yes". maybe you would like it if you haven't already heard of it. 🙂
Amen! &Yes! Well said Sis with lightning purpose and passion full of brightness. Thank You for being the vessel of this message, continue to BE YOU! Never let your🕯be dimmed......
Thank you for this. Majorly helpful. When it’s time, I’ll share my story, but I just want you to know that you are a major beacon of light that so, so many people need right now. 💛✨🔦🔦🔦
Thank you I have binge watching you for about a week now and I feeeeel you I have house full of art stuff and still haven’t started my you tube channel. I am going to post something this weekend.
Alecia I thank you for your obedience and dropping this video. Gods been confirming all week long to just do it . As I’m gearing up to make my first Tik Tok video to expand my podcast. That I launched last month. God is calling me outside my comfort zone to get in front of the lens. You were speaking nothing but the truth especially about the perfection and procrastination. Whewwwww you were in my business . I pray nothing but the absolute best for your journey that God will expand your territory. Abundance , Prosperity and peace. I’m committed for year 💪🏾.
I love this- I’m committed! I have everything I need. Thank you so much for affirming so much of what I was already thinking. And you low key dragged me for filth because I’ve thought a lot of the same way you expressed lol. Let’s do this!
Thank you beautiful spirit!!!! I love this video I will join you on this epic adventurous journey!!!! How is it going it been a year? Thank you for not giving up on your self and kodos to your inner child 🎉

Yes!!! It's okay! And freedom is EXACTLY it! ☺️💛
"My child self had it right, I just never gave her the chance."
So true. All the things I'm trying to make space for now in my adult life are things I valued as a child - making things with my hands, creating art and whimsy in my life. I used to write my journal entries on sheets of paper, burn the edges of the pages on the stove and bind them with twine like ancient scrolls LOL. I missed being silly. I missed the joy of admiring something I made. It's so crucial to make time for yourself. Another great video! ❤️
Totally get the dynamic of having multiple passions/interests and feeling "all over the place." But the truth is that it's actually a gift to have different passions and talents...and to be good at all of them 😅
This. This. This. It's a gift that I'm SO grateful for. Much love and joy to you!
2k23 I promise myself to watch this video once per month,thank you.
Giiirrrl, you doing shows, concerts, tours moving around in your RV ... I absolutely see it. Can't wait to witness it untold. Your creativity is ABSOLUTELY beautiful and healing to witness.
You are SO ENCOURAGING TO MEEEE 🥹💛🌺🌻 THANK YOU SO MUCH. You literally made my day. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing powerful messages that inspire and motivate us all!❤ I’m using 2023 to take risk, win or lose!
"A path with least resistance" 👍🏽
You are wonderful and so is your message. I started my year of me two weeks ago (6/19/22). I am excited to embark on this new journey! #fellowscatterdperson #imperfectionisok
You're so right. I have those same thoughts about my crafts. We must move past our own fears.
It is, so hard to make videos ...I feel so vulnerable I agree the people with a problem always have no picture and no videos.
Exactly!!! 💛 They're really the loudest ones because they are, technically, "safe". They're not having to be vulnerable. They also probably have dreams untapped as well and are projecting all of that on us trying folks.

Great video! This video came to me at a time where I was asking God should "I change careers". I've been working in a job that just drains me, it's so unfulfilled, and beyond toxic for more than 15 years. I have a potential job off in a completely different industry but I'm doubting myself. All I know is that crazy toxic work environment that I currently have and I'm just scared that I may not do a goo job with this new one. Listening to you just made me realize that I am good enough. If others can see it in me then I should see it within myself too. I may not know everything about this new industry but I can definitely learn along the way and be the best that I can. Thank you!
I saw your thumbnail last night for the Don’t Forget to Live video and I saved it in my watch later to look at today. I am so glad I came across your channel. I relate so much to you that it’s scary. I have been going through my perfection crisis and this video was right on time. Thank you for this much needed confirmation that I don’t have to be perfect. So many people look at me that way that i have felt the need to take that persona on. I am so happy that I am freeing myself from this. Definitely subscribing to your channel! I am committed. ♥️
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! I'm so glad you resonated with this! This is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I'm so excited for you. I believe in you. Let's do this. I completely understand taking on a persona someone else gave me. It was causing me so much pain, but when I started to shed it, I started feeling such freedom. And I love that you are committed. Much love and joy to you! And welcome! I'm so glad you're here!
Points were made! The people that have the most negative stuff to say have not even put themselves out there
Gratitude 💗💜🤍🫶🏽✨

Thank you for this video. I was feeling discouraged. I needed a pep talk and I appreciate how real, authentic, and honest you are. I could connect with it deeply. It was like you were being a good friend, showing up, and reminding me what I needed to hear the most but I had drowned out with my own discouragement and negativity towards myself. I want to commit to getting out and doing the things, being gracious to myself, living my best life this year. Thank you for showing up to make this video.
if all the affirmations i have been thinking of and writing down were to be put in a video, this video was it. you said all the things i have been thinking, all the new conclusions and realizations i have been coming to...you even said things i hadn't thought of yet (but would have wanted to ☺️). especially when you were ranting...i felt like i was listening to myself work all the kinks out of my mind and get myself into a more expansive and abundant mindset.
your words raise the vibration of those who are ready to listen and see behind the illusion that society throws in our faces. the message is a good one, and i'm happy to be along for the ride on your youtube channel. keep up the good work. 👍🏾❤️🔥
p.s. shonda rhimes has a book i need to finish reading. the book is called "a year of yes". maybe you would like it if you haven't already heard of it. 🙂
Amen! &Yes! Well said Sis with lightning purpose and passion full of brightness. Thank You for being the vessel of this message, continue to BE YOU! Never let your🕯be dimmed......

Alecia I thank you for your obedience and dropping this video. Gods been confirming all week long to just do it . As I’m gearing up to make my first Tik Tok video to expand my podcast. That I launched last month. God is calling me outside my comfort zone to get in front of the lens. You were speaking nothing but the truth especially about the perfection and procrastination. Whewwwww you were in my business . I pray nothing but the absolute best for your journey that God will expand your territory. Abundance , Prosperity and peace. I’m committed for year 💪🏾.
