Thank you Adaora for such an inspiring read, I really enjoyed reading it.

One ticket I took this year was to start my locs despite other people's lack of receptiveness.

One ticket I hope to take this month is registering for a beauty pageant.

Two things that stood out for me in this letter.

1. Sometimes honoring yourself will intersect with honoring someone important to you.

2. You can have all the faith in the world, but you canโ€™t win the lottery if you donโ€™t buy a ticket.

Registering for your workshop next month took all the will power in me to do. I did it for me not just because it's my birthmonth but also cos I'm fond of over thinking it was too much when it comes to spending money on me.

I plan on getting my first tattoo next month too, lots of honoring myself will surely occur this month. If there's one thing I've learnt from loosing my dad early this year, it's to live in the now and present.

Thanks for sharing this amazing letter and for always inspiring me to be my true self.

Hey Adaora, very inspiring reading from you this month. I did sit tight and braced myself before reading...The disclaimers.

Buying the ticket for me this year is resigning from my 10-year-long Architecture career to Pivot into tech. It is something I have wanted for over 2 years now. I am totally looking forward to it.

The second would be dying my Microlocs tips to grey.

Thanks for always sharing.

Hi Adaora,

I am grateful to be part of this community where I can be inspired. This letter was very inspiring and made me realize that sometimes I want to do things and I have set my mind to it, but all of a sudden, I just become very analytical and end up not doing them. I planned on going for a microblade to change my looks sort of, but I had already started over-analyzing and decided that I would postpone it, but now I might just go ahead with it. Also working on a project but the pace has been a bit slow, I would commit myself to that and speed it up. And also enroll in a master's program because I know the importance of education and I have the right mindset about that. Once again thank you for this, I really really needed it. I am buying my tickets.

๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ thank you for always stirring hope and action with your letters. Iโ€™m so encouraged and spurred to buy 2 tickets in April; the first being completing and lunching my second ebook and secondly, sending out my business proposals to grant making organizations. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ

Thank you Lumina, your light inspires me so much.
