Honey Fact of the Month: AugustTheme: Becoming, Boldness & Birthday Blessings

Honey Fact:
August is a sacred month for me.
It’s my birthday month. And every year, I feel myself both softening and sharpening.
I’ve lived through a lot. I’ve loved through a lot.
And I’m still here — still building, still blessing, still becoming.

Why It Matters:
Birthdays are not just celebrations — they’re checkpoints.
They’re invitations to pause, look around, and say:
“Look at what I’ve survived. Look at what I’m creating. Look at who I am now.”

Personal Truth:
I don’t always have big plans or a fancy cake.
But I mark this month with intention.
I remember my ancestors.
I hold space for the younger version of me who never imagined all this.
I pray joy over the years ahead — not just for me, but for all of us still becoming.

This year, I’m not chasing goals. I’m claiming softness, truth, and space.
Because I love God. I love people. I love rest.
And I love the woman I’ve fought to become.
