Fellow writer, my dear, new friend, a daughter, sister, yogi, recent Duke MBA grad, and HR change agent Teni Ayo-Ariyo (first name Teninlanimi te-ni-nlah-nih-mih, last name Ayo-Ariyo (eye-yo-ah-rih-yoh) whose name in Yoruba means I belong to the Great One talks candidly to us about how she has learned to trust God's process in her incredible life.

The recent Seattle transplant details how she's navigated through the foggy times in her life and trusted God to move across the country in the middle of a pandemic. She shares how the Christian upbringing in her parents' nurturing home laid the foundation for her to stand firmly as she deepened (s) her relationship with God in her own way, for herself.

Seeing God as a merciful Creator who cares about the details of her process has been her rod and her peace. She'll share what's in her 'backpack' and help all of us go into 2021 trusting God fully, being more emphatic to ourselves and being patient as we allow God to move in God's time.

It takes a lot of strength and power to exhibit such trust and relinquish autonomy of lives we didn't create, but rather we get to enjoy, courtesy of a GRACIOUS God, Who lights our paths and whose thoughts and ways are higher than ours.

Follow Teni and her visual and written content on IG at teninla and be ready to grab her new chapbook in 2021 called, 'Wash Between Your Toes'. While you're over there, read her method for Activism For Soft Hearts. Yours will melt at her gentle, affirming words. She is a sweet soul who indeed belongs to The Great One.

Warning...this episode, this episode right herrreee...is full of good music, cool spaces to exhale and warm, chocolaty metaphors. Lol

Playlist coming soon.
