"Our garden that once sustained life to butterflies and lady bugs
has survived shifting winds, burning skies, heavy rain.
Now a thriving garden grows
Seeds that birth greens that fuel dreams
And when each harvest comes to end
Death gives Life to what's next.
And our thriving garden grows
Veggies for our souls and berries for the birds.
Herbs for our home, our brews, and our Court.
Fruits as a treat for the love we deserve.
And our thriving garden grows
with our Love,
our Self-Care. "

"My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style." -Maya Angelou

"Dream big and dive deep. If 2022 taught me anything, it taught me that I am more than capable to do whatever the fuck I want. I want to normalize conversations around trauma. I want to inspire people to share their truth, to share their magic, and to love themselves! I have witnessed my art do just that so I intend to continue doing just that!" -GabyNobody
Thank you for taking your time to read this post.
My content varies in execution yet my intention is always the same: to provide motivational monthly content and creative adventures.
Healing isn't linear and my journey does continue.
As long as I can remember, I have been: loud, passionate, a fire to not be reckoned with, and quite a force. Life challenged me, as it challenges so many, and my vision of myself became obscured.
Allowing myself to..
Be vulnerable with a blank canvass again and again
Create, Connect, and Evolve through the magic of art
Give Love, Receive Love, and Be Love
...has opened up some really cool, unbelievably inspiring, and beautiful creative opportunities with some really dope, unique, and brilliant Elevated Thoughts Activists and Creatives.
2023 ran in knocking with opportunities, vision boards, and so much fucking clarity.
From the bottom of my heart, I am grateful: for everything- my brightest days and my darkest nights.
With all my lessons learned and all my love to give, I come forward excited for this year.
Among all the beauty and chaos in the surprises that Life has for me this year, I will be executing Rise and Thrive 2023 in October.
Rise and Thrive came to life 2022. It fell into place organically and flawlessly.
It came to life as I reflected on my art, who I have become, and all I want to celebrate.
Other 2023 projects include:
Sun & Moon Drum Circle Visual Series.
The continuation of intentional coloring books.
Creative group meet-ups and co-working opportunities.
Honing in on being a Public Speaker for Heartly House.
and more collaborative work with passionate artists!
The Universe and its plan will unfold as it is meant to.
Below is a calendar with monthly affirmations in alignment with the overview of The BeYouForYou Network plan of execution for 2023.
Trust, there's so much more I want to share. More information will come in due time. Stay posted and witness the projects unfold. Support. Be a friend, share with a friend.
Give Love. Receive Love. Be Love.
"In the end though, it was important for me to be alone and sit back and reflect on myself, my life, my character, and what I have done in an objective manner without outside distractions. For me that meant, being alone outside of relationships – be it platonic friendships, work friendships, romantic relationships, and especially familial relationships. I needed to have uncomfortable days where I sat alone with myself and my thoughts just reflecting on everything I have done, said and who I have been. Because of that I have so much peace in my life now."
GabyNobody's first poem of 2023
Waves of emotions flow.
In my hand, I hold two pictures of two individuals
that dreamed of love for each other,
with each other.
In the two pictures, each of them hold me.
My whole weight in the palms of their hands.
Their eyes frozen in time locked with mine
Just a thirty year gap in between all this time.
-
There is Love in my longing,
my wanting and not knowing.
-
After moments of silence,
that follow recalled moments of joy
behind breaths of forgiveness-
I Earth and I ground
then expand way beyond what's above and below.
-
There is Love in the gap,
the distance and the difference.
There is Love in my longing,
my wanting and not knowing.
Love my family to the moon and back.
