MY WORDS TO YOUFrom Markey's Heart
May You Bloom: Freely, Fearlessly and Fully
Can you believe it's May already? 2025 is moving so quickly, but this month gives me a vibe—spotlight on theme music cued, full main character energy. The azaleas are in bloom, the sun's hanging around a little longer, and everything feels alive again. So, here's your gentle reminder, Sis: You're allowed to bloom, too.
This is your season to grow boldly, beautifully, and unapologetically. The beauty of personal growth lies in being your authentic self—not rushed, not distracted, just real and rooted growth on your terms. Let's talk about how to use this month to nurture your purpose and water your garden.
Tend to Your Soil
Growth cannot occur on depleted ground. Self-care is essential, and I will always remind you to ask yourself: What do I need right now to feel nourished? Maybe it's rest—not laziness, but sacred restoration. Maybe it's community—a sister-circle of women who see you and speak life into you. Maybe it's solitude—to hear your own thoughts without the noise of everyone else's opinions. Suggestion: Block off one "Soul-Care" day this month. No obligations. Just you and whatever brings you joy and clarity.
Stop Apologizing for Wanting More
It is time to normalize ambition. It's okay to want more for yourself, so let's stop shrinking our dreams to make other people feel comfortable. Your desire for more—more purpose, more freedom, more joy—isn't selfish. It's sacred. OWN IT….. Suggestion: Write down one "scary big" goal. Then, break it into three manageable steps you can start this month. Momentum is magic.
Be Gentle with the Growing
Some days, you’ll bloom. Some days, you’ll barely bud. And that's okay. Growth is NOT a straight line or a sprint. So, when progress feels slow, don't quit. Be kind to the woman who's doing her best. Give yourself grace; remember, you're not alone in this journey.
Suggestion: At the end of each week in May, write down three things you did RIGHT and then celebrate them. That's how confidence grows—Acknowledge YOUR wins and let them be a testament to your progress.
Bloom Loud, Bloom Proud
Your light was never meant to be hidden. This is your reminder to show up boldly, share your voice, and walk in rooms like you belong—because you do. Suggestion: Practice this mantra all month: "I am worthy of growth, joy, and everything I dream of. I will not play small."
Final Thoughts
You don't need to wait until the stars align or someone hands you permission. May is your green light. Take the Step. Speak the dream. Plant the seed. Water your vision and Step into your season of becoming unbothered and unstoppable.
And while you're at it, don't forget you're already enough. The bloom is just a bonus.
Let this be your season.
With love and light,
