This is my first time posting on the website since I made the decision to have a complete abdominal hysterectomy. I felt myself walk away from writing. I felt myself walk away from opening my heart to the world (or at least the small section of you who follow me) and I was confident that this was okay. Not anymore. In creating this blog, I vowed to share the authentic pieces of life that most people cower away from. I promised my readers that no matter the circumstance, I was their open book. My sole purpose is to reach at least one person who is encouraged enough by my story to either share their own or break free from bondage. This blog was supposed to be a source of service, and service does not stop when it gets hard, so neither will I. I had the surgery on May 9, 2018. It wasn’t until 9 days later, at exactly 3:19pm that I pressed my head up against my mama and wept. I wasn’t naïve enough to think that I would be okay immediately after, but the crying was so raw, so intense,
Love without conditions.
My name is Shakiyla Solomon. I have always been intrigued by words and the power they possess, but I never had confidence in my ability to use them. This blog is a vessel for inspiration and encouragement. I intend to be more transparent than you may anticipate, and more consistent than I have been in the past. Its sole purpose is to show the reader "you are not alone, be encouraged" I will do this through life experiences, traveling, and food.
