“In my experience the need to be liked is a weakness. My need to be liked by others was a clear sign that I didn't like myself. I discovered that when I fell in love with myself, as I was, in spite of my perceived flaws and shortcomings, I came to the conclusion that I was ENOUGH…and just like that, I no longer possessed the desire to be validated by others, to fit into anyone's box or to play by anyone else's rules.” — SB SHOP ALG MERCHANDISE (FREE SHIPPING AND SALES TAX FREE) @ www.theageofindigo.com/shop Subscribe to our YouTube channel @ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuqVHbVnIfmj059hH4VbD4w

“In silence I have discovered some hard truths and shone light on some dark lies. At times, the silence was so loud, that it echoed off the walls of the “chamber of loneliness” that I had constructed for myself. I understand now that it was all a part of the plan. I found my light in the darkness and my voice in the silence.” —SB Shop for ALG merchandise & apparel at www.theageofindigo.com/shop
So here I am... 29 years old and I've never experienced the loss that comes with the passing of a loved one. In many ways that is a tremendous blessing. Instead of being grateful for such a blessing, I took it for granted. For 29 years, the one thing that I knew I had a lot of was time. When I would choose work over family, I would always tell myself that when I “made it” I would be able to spend time with them and create memories. It never occurred to me that I was missing out on creating memories in the moment of NOW. We don't truly know the value of a memory, until that memory is all that we have left. Be grateful for each moment....in each moment...TAKE IT ALL IN! As we continue to explore this Realm of Loss together, I am discovering a lot about myself and it is my sincere hope that you find something in this work to be inspired by.

This episode is dedicated to my cousin, Chaude' Reed, who passed away suddenly, last month. It is a letter that I wrote to her. Chaude' was my first friend and one of my favorite people in the world. She was a warm light in a dark and cold world. I miss her terribly. I wanted to do an episode that was dedicated to her and her memory. As the first two grandchildren, we shared a unique connection and experience in our early years of life. I cherish each of those memories now. Life is a precious occurrence. Tell the people you love that you love them. I love you Chaude'! Beyond Forever! Shop for ALG merchandise & apparel at www.theageofindigo.com/shop
On September 27, 2020 my life changed forever. I lost my grandfather. I found myself in this foreign space that I refer to as The Realm of Loss. I had no way of knowing that just two weeks after losing my grandfather, I would lose my cousin, Chaude, in a house fire. I found myself trying to navigate through this pain and find some sort of purpose in mine and my family's suffering. This episode explores the experience of loss through my lens. My hope is that it will encourage someone else who may be going through a tough time or dealing with a loss. Shop for ALG merchandise & apparel at www.theageofindigo.com/shop
