I Am ME

✨Grateful to be here ~ this is 29✨ • Thanks again to everyone who took the time to wish me a happy birthday yesterday. It was truly one of the best birthdays I’ve ever had. • As the years have passed, my birthday celebrations have become a lot more quiet. I like to spend time reflecting on the years past and visualizing the year ahead. • I was overwhelmed with love yesterday. No kidding, I cried numerous times... a reminder that I’ve somehow become super emotional is the whole process of getting older. If you’ve known me for very long time, you know that’s not always been the case. • Thanks to my family, @ladypatgarcia and @ksghenry, for finding creative ways to shower me with love (and gifts) from miles away! Huge thanks to my bestie and my true soul sister @kandrewzz for making my day extra special. Last but not least, thanks to @changdoeshyundai for allowing us to use his showroom as a catwalk and photo studio 🤣😂. • #Blessed #Grateful #Birthday #Celebrations #NewChapter #Chapter29 (at Trinidad and Tobago) https://www.instagram.com/p/CG4mhC4HkLa/?igshid=11n9cgslq5oab

✨Dreaming of sea, sand and sunsets✨ • Happy Friday. Stay safe. Stay at home. Protect yourself. Protect others. • #Friday #FBF #Weekend #Beach #IslandGirl #Dreams #Sand #Sea #Sun #Sunset #IslandLife #OceanLove #Water #WaterBaby #Scorpio #Maracas #TrinidadAndTobago #Caribbean (at Maracas Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEKqy6cnqZx/?igshid=1g7ak8lczdd10

✨My alone feels so good I’ll only have you if you’re sweeter than my solitude✨~ #WarsanShire • Really been feeling the beach days lately... it’s like I’m a whole new person. Loving soaking up the sand and sea. Life sometimes calls on you to compromise... just don’t compromise your happiness. ~ #LoveAlways #Sedika • #Live #Love #Laugh #Enjoy #Nature #BeachDays #Sun #Sea #Joy #Trini #Trinidad #TrinidadAndTobago #Maracas #Lookout #TriniGyal #IslandLife #IslandGirl #Me #Authentic #Unapologetic #BlackGirlMagic https://www.instagram.com/p/CDq7gfrn5S_/?igshid=sbvlla5pd826

✨Heaven for the eyes... hell for the soul... purgatory for the wallet✨ • I wasn’t technically ready for this pic... but I love it!

✨Strong. Powerful. Determined. Unstoppable.✨ 🖤 We are BLACK WOMEN!..... We build .... We don't tear down other BLACK WOMEN! .... We have felt the pain of being torn down and we have decided we will be deliberate about building others! If I didn't tag you, please don't be offended. I tried to pick people I thought would do this challenge!! All too often, we women find it easier to criticize each other, instead of building each other up. With all the negativity going around let's do something positive!!🌟 Upload 1 picture of yourself...ONLY you. Then tag as many sisters and brothers to do the same. Let's build ourselves up, instead of tearing ourselves down. 💛💛 COPY AND PASTE 💛💛 If I tagged you, don't disappoint me!! #BlackLivesMatter✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 🖤 #LoveAlways #Sedika #FromMeToYou #PEACE #Love #Joy #Prosperity #Equality #Our #Birthright #Fight #Stand #StrongerTogether #But #UntilThen #NoJusticeNoPeace https://www.instagram.com/p/CBLMa9nnXvH/?igshid=ra9xk0ad1ixw

✨ The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy✨ ~ #MLK #MartinLutherKingJr • Pause and reflect on how you can honour the movement from right at home... For one I would encourage you to stop supporting businesses that refuse to support your community. Don’t be fooled, you can get their services elsewhere... seek out black owned businesses or at minimum business owners who reflect your same values and who opt to stand with your community in times of crisis. I have reposted a lot but been fairly tight lipped over the past week and I’ll be honest... I don’t yet have the words to convey everything that I need to on these current (and historically persistent) events. I will say without shame and without fear of backlash or reproach that I stand with my community and that if you don’t... please unfollow me... I very legitimately DO NOT need your likes or whatever else you place importance on on this or any platform. And just like that I’m already in essay territory without having really touched the topic. Don’t get distracted. The movements stands... and so must we! If you aren’t sure where you stand on this, I’m sure where you stand with me...

✨As I enter any worldly chaos from a place of internal peace, my stillness works to dissolve the chaos. I need not fear any turmoil in the world, as long as there is peace in me✨ ~ #AYearOfMiracles #MarianneWilliamson • Release your fears and breathe through the chaos. You are loved. You are safe. You are blessed. You are protected. ~ #LoveAlways #Sedika • #BeStill #FindYourPeace #Breathe #Relax #Release #Meditate #Connect #YouArePowerful #Manifest #YourLife #YourPeace #YourLove #Triumph #BeAuthentic #BeYou #Perfect #Individual #True #Pure #Evolved #AtPeace https://www.instagram.com/p/B_4tF00njiL/?igshid=9fxax6if91y3

✨Time alone will not heal you. You must release, forgive and start truly loving yourself✨ ~ #StephanLabosierre • Time alone may not heal you, but you do need to take time to heal. Make sure you take that kind of time whenever your mind or body calls for it. Tap into your intuition and trust your spirit; it will guide you into a future so beautiful and bright that you’ll be happy to look back and acknowledge your growth. • What are you healing from? Childhood trauma? A relationship gone awry? Loss of a loved one? Lean into your pain. From that pain is birthed strength, power and an unshakable spirit that will propel you straight into your ultimate destiny. We all have a different purpose, but every one of our destinies includes a life of abundance filled with love, joy and peace. ~ #LoveAlways #Sedika • #Live #Love #Laugh #Heal #Grow #Reflect #Release #Breathe #Trust #Meditate #Manifest #Purpose #Destiny #Power #Strength #Confidence #Peace #You #Authentic #Worthy #Perfect https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Fu_OkneMI/?igshid=6rjn7d51ir8d

✨A moment of crisis can be a moment of growth, as the wounded self prepares to transform. From the chrysalis of my pain, I will forge my healing— the wings of my newborn self✨ ~ #MarianneWilson #AYearOfMiracles • As we continue to adapt to a life in the midst of a pandemic... I invite you to take the time you’ve been gifted to reflect on yourself. Who have you been walking this earth as? Is that the person you want to be? Don’t panic if you find things you want to change... we are all continuously growing. Look at the trees... anything that stops growing, starts dying. Honour your growth. • Today I challenge you to be better... even if you’re home alone and there’s no one to congratulate you for the improvement. Give love instead of anger, share joy instead of fear. #BeBetter in every way you can today and everyday to follow. Soon you’ll be well on your way to finding and being your #BestSelf ~ #LoveAlways #Sedika • #Live #Love #Laugh #Grow #SelfCare #SelfLove #Reflection #Growth #Kindness #Joy #Connection #StayAtHome #StaySafe #StayAlive #WalkThePath #BetterLife #Meditate #Breathe #Manifest #AppreciateLife #YourLife https://www.instagram.com/p/B_CkDvalxsQ/?igshid=1f32mrktr2ov5

✨Your light shines brightest in the midst of darkness✨~ #SedikaGarciaHenry #Me #MyQuote • There’s no pretending that we are living through uncertain times. That we are in a space where we are forced to double check priorities, reassess connections and spend time alone. • My #advice: take this as an opportunity to look inward; get to know yourself without all the frills and make sure you’re completely and totally in love with whoever that person is. You deserve to experience the greatest love story ever told... that love story starts the day you learn to love yourself. ~ #LoveAlways #Sedika • #Saturday #SelfLove #LoveYourself #Pure #NoFrills #JustYou #Perfect #AsYouAre #YourLife #Your #LoveStory #Manifest #Change #StayTheSame #YourChoice #WhoAreYou #YouDecide #GetToKnow #You #Real #Free #Love #AgapeLove https://www.instagram.com/p/B-1wyCeHowr/?igshid=n88vytpru8ck

✨Develop am entusiasm for life, create a need for more life, and you will receive more life. ... Faith, courage, interest, optimism, looking forward, brings us new life and more life✨~ #MaxwellMaltz #Psychocybernetics • May we be reminded to look forward when we’re oh so tempted to look back. Better days will come. Stay forward focused and now, more than ever, amplify your gratitude for life and love. ~ #LoveAlways #Sedika • #TBT #SocaBrainwash #Treasures #Oriental #Theme #SimplerTimes #Boots #ThighHighs #LoveThisLook #LookForward #Dream #Conjure #Manifest #BeStrong #KeepTheFaith #Live #Love #Laugh #Remember #GoodTimes #GetReady #ToCreate #MoreLife #StayAtHome #StaySafe #SoonDone https://www.instagram.com/p/B-wcL2InN_e/?igshid=1xneh46tzkiag

✨The same attitude must be maintained in spite of environmental changes✨ ~ #PrescottLecky • Maintain an attitude of gratitude and everything else balances itself out 🙏🏽 • As we continue along our journeys through life right now, there seems to be so much uncertainty... but I’m here to remind you that one thing is always certain... if you’re alive enough to complain, you’re alive enough to give thanks. The path is yours to choose. ~ #LoveAlways #Sedika • Now more than ever I urge you all to take stock of what you have to be grateful for. Not as some measuring stick against your peers or for #likes on #instagram #twitter #tiktok or whatever other apps are #trending these days. Take stock so you can remind yourself that you are blessed and that in the face of all your blessings, there’s no need to complain. • I’m grateful for friends like those in these pictures who can always pull me out of my head and into the moment! Love you guys! 😘 • Fun fact for those who don’t know me personally, my mind goes a mile and minute and I’m always thinking ahead. Someone like me needs people who remind me to live in the moment and just enjoy life. Shout out to @mr_c4_473 who is the king of getting me out my head 😂 even (or especially) when I’m ready to strangle him and @champagnedano with their #LiveForNow shenanigans. • #TakeMeBack #Carnival #SocaBrainwash #Grateful #Friends #FriendsWhoAreFamily #Geisha #Inspired #Treasures #Orient #Theme #Fete #Live #Now #ThisMoment #Laugh #Love #Cry #MostImportantly #Breathe https://www.instagram.com/p/B-o0ia1HySH/?igshid=3vq3s3p5lmdu
