Exactly a year since I had my hysterectomy ~ life

Exactly a year since I had my hysterectomy ~ life changing surgery that changed me forever... For months and months afterwards I felt broken and lost and then slowly day by day I started to heal. It’s taken me on an emotional journey of deeper self discovery and self awareness. A rich and spiritual awakening that has stripped me bare and strengthened me in equal measures.

In July 2019 as I lay there praying to live ~ every part of me knew my old life was gone and a new very different one was coming. What I didn’t know back then was how the trauma of my experiences would prepare me for what was to come...

Everything you live through prepares you for what is to come ~ you just don’t always realise it at the time.

Those valuable lessons have enabled me to walk through a pandemic (mostly) without fear and to grieve the loss of my womb, normal life, two close family members and a historical uprising with some grace and acceptance.

I’ve looked over my shoulder for my old friend anxiety many times but she’s not really there. It seems she doesn’t come around as often anymore. She’s been replaced with an inner calmness that relinquishing control brings.

Your healing journey can only truly begin when YOU truly surrender to the process. I know ~ the boss lady in me resisted for the longest time.

And now here I am, naked in front of 40 thousand followers sharing my story... ☺️ Because every scar, wrinkle and blemish tells my story and makes me the woman I am today and I’ve never felt more liberated. That’s gotta be something worth celebrating!

Hope you feel inspired to embrace your story too Insta fam? whatever that looks like for you. Love you, Allison x x

To lead with love ~ doesn’t always feel easy doe

To lead with love ~ doesn’t always feel easy does it? especially at the moment when there is SO much going on around us and the world is changing everyday.

We have a right to feel hurt and angry and upset ~ our emotions are valid and we need to take the time to work through them, to reflect, to heal, to let go...

That doesn’t mean you have to hold back with what you feel passionate about and believe in. It does mean your approach can be more considered and empathetic.

Life feels different when you move forward and live from a place of love... There have been times l’ve had to exercise this more lately (especially on Facebook 🤪) and it works for me (eventually) even if it stings at first.

There is peace to be found in letting go and loving harder. You know that warm fuzzy feeling you get inside?... that’s proof you’re doing something right 😉

We are all connected (quite literally) through our phones and the air that we breathe, so it makes sense to create strong loving vibes doesn’t it?

If we step back and stop judging and cancelling and hurting each other and start allowing people to be human, real change will happen. Accountability over cancellation.

That’s a future I want to be a part of. Love you, Allison x x x

Took me ten days to recover from that dancing 🤣

Took me ten days to recover from that dancing 🤣🤣🤣 teehee! Just kidding, ain’t had much to say so just been chilling 🧡✌🏽 watching, thinking, feeling... know that it’s ok to do that. You don’t always have to be a fountain of knowledge and a source of constant inspiration.

You can just let yourself be... You should just let yourself be! It’s good for you! Love you Insta fam, Allison x x x

Shared in my stories and my DM’s are blowing up.

Shared in my stories and my DM’s are blowing up.. so here you go ~ let’s give this moment of happiness a place on my grid! 😂
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ {Yesterday} When your cousin is having a socially distanced birthday gathering in her garden and you don’t know wether to go because you’ve been isolating for months and months and the rain showers and cold winds are threatening to spoil the outdoor fun but you go anyway dressed up in all your layers because you need to feel alive and to find some joy... and then Joanna drops and you dance without a care in the world! Yeah. I needed that so much ☺️ Watch my mama join me at the end too, haha, I get all my moves from her! 🤣 obvs.
P.S ~ I love cream clothing as much as I love dancing! 😃👍🏽Have a good week folks, love Allison x x x

I’ve cried a lot over the last few days, tears o

I’ve cried a lot over the last few days, tears of distress, frustration and sadness... because to be silenced and censored for showing up as your true self hurts.
What can I say ~ I’m deeply sensitive ~ it’s a superpower not a weakness.
This may just be an app to some, but for me, it’s much more than that. I’ve invested years of my time and energy into connecting, creating and nurturing a community here, one built on honesty and love ~ anything that threatens that pathway of communication hurts.
So should I be grateful Instagram have given me my voice back?.. maybe but the betrayal I feel from a platform ‘I’ have given so much to hurts.
It should never have happened in the first place. They say it was ‘just a mistake’ an error in the system. I say your system is selective, oppressive and a little bit broken. Fix it. And give your black community the freedom we deserve ~ to speak our truth and to tell our stories.
So while I feel glad (but apprehensive) to be back, I’ll save my celebrations for when we can ‘all be free’ together.
Thank you for showing up for me in your thousands insta fam. Your love and support has filled my heart up and blown me away! Power to you (and my new bestie who went the extra mile for me, you know who you are) And hey, the disruption didn’t stop us raising 10k for Black Minds Matter UK! So that is something to celebrate! Love ya millions, Allison x x x
