My mental health has truly been tested. But farewell to those woes. From tomorrow, 01 December- My Birthday, I’m turning a new leaf. Enough crying and enough grieving. I’m ushering in a new year of ‘Yes’! …Yes, Yes and YES! Yes to success and financial abundance. Yes to opportunities and resources being opened up to me. Yes to forever with my partner. And YES to the next…The countdown has begun” she wrote.
