“Awareness isn’t just knowing—it’s feeling, responding, and rebuilding. It’s the heartbeat of restoration.”
I used to think awareness was quiet. A soft noticing. A gentle whisper in the background. But I’ve learned that true awareness is a roar. It’s the moment your spirit stands up and says, I see it. I feel it. I will not ignore it.
To be aware is to be alive. And not just breathing—but becoming.
Awareness is sacred work. It’s the first step in every restoration. It’s the moment you realize you’ve been surviving instead of thriving, silencing your truth to keep the peace, shrinking your beauty to fit someone else’s blueprint. It demands honesty. And honesty is holy ground.
When you become aware, you start to see the patterns that keep you stuck, the systems that silence your story, and the power you’ve been carrying all along. You begin to ask better questions. You stop settling for surface answers. You start reclaiming your voice, your space, your legacy.
But awareness without action is just observation. Awareness with intention? That’s transformation.
Here’s how we activate it:
• Audit your affirmations—are they still aligned with who you’re becoming?
• Challenge your comfort zones—growth doesn’t come from cozy, it comes from clarity.
• Build restoration rituals—daily practices that align your awareness with your assignment.
• Speak up, even when shaky—awareness demands a voice, not just a vibe.
I became aware that restoration wasn’t just for me—it was for my children, my community, my legacy. So I built Born Again Beauty Inc. I launched SayYesBABI.com. I wrote letters, designed badges, and declared affirmations that roar.
Because to be aware is to be alive. And to be alive is to be activated.
“I am not just aware—I am awake, aligned, and anointed. My presence is a protest. My healing is a revolution.”
