“Change takes time. You have to celebrate the small parts.”

From hearing the birds singing in the background to her smile radiating through my computer— Ebonë was joy as we chit-chatted via Zoom. Ebonë has been such an important person in my life so I was excited to have the opportunity to just check-in and chat with her.

“Today, I feel at ease.” This was the response Ebonë gave me when I asked her, ‘how are you feeling today?’ Going on to say that, “[this] means I am at peace. That does not mean life is not happening. It just means my overall feeling is peace— and that peace comes from a place of gratitude.”

She said this with confidence and complete understanding of her power. From there, we had a chit-chat full of joy, reflection and laughter. I asked Ebonë three specific questions during our chit-chat to get a glimpse inside of her beautiful mind, which you can read below:

What is the biggest lesson that you have learned during this time?

Keep refining patience and what that word means to me. The small is apart of the whole. Change takes time. You have to celebrate the small parts. You have to celebrate those moments— even when thoughts of self-sabotage present themself.

If you could give your growth a name, what would it be?

Divinity— I trust and believe I am a divine being with a divine purpose and I [no matter what] I trust and believe [that to be true].

How have you been healing your inner child?

As I’ve been reading more and reviewing All About Love— I’ve been having conversations about loving ones self with family members and with myself.
