Balance ⚖️ isn’t the goal… and it took me a while to realize that.The sky isn’t balanced. Trees aren’t perfectly even… so why do we think our lives have to be?I really took the time to understand balance. Not just talking about it… but actually living it.Balancing my personal life, my family, my job, my relationships, my social life; learning how to show up for everything without constantly putting myself on the back burner.And it took years but, I got really good at it.Structured. Disciplined. Intentional.To the point where I can honestly say…I know how to balance my life.But growing up, balance always seemed like making one side look like the other.Everything even. Everything equal.And while that looks good…it always felt like something was missing.Because when I really look at life… at nature…the sky isn’t perfectly balanced… it’s in harmony.Trees don’t grow in perfect symmetry… but they’re still whole.Everything flows. Everything works together.And that’s when it clicked for me.Maybe life was never meant to be perfectly balanced all the time.There are seasons where certain areas require more of you.Days where you pour into yourself.Days where you pour into others.Days where you rest, reset, and slow down.And instead of feeling like I’m losing balance…I realize I’m actually moving in harmony.In alignment.In flow.In rhythm with my life.Balance taught me structure.It taught me discipline.It taught me how to hold everything together.But harmony?Harmony taught me how to move with it.So no… I didn’t lose balance.I just went deeper…and discovered there was another level to it.And that level is harmony 🤍 #balance #harmony by @taishanany

Shamrock Shuffle 8k 2025 🍀Last year, I had my entire year mapped out.No matter what happened, I was determined to push through.I had already built the discipline and structure but more importantly, I embodied flow, intentionality, and rhythm.So when my dad transitioned, I was as prepared as I could be.A month after losing my dad, I showed up anyway.Was it scary? Yes.Was it tough? Absolutely.But I’ve learned the only way through it… is to FEEL it.Losing a parent unlocked a new level of confidence in me. The fact that I could still show up, navigate grief, and still have peace was confirmation that I’m on the right path; God’s path. I truly believe I can achieve anything.8K Shamrock Shuffle ✔️10K next upHalf marathon. Training in full effect 💪🏿 by @taishanany

In honor of Women’s Month 🩷Last year was such a full year for me that I didn’t get a chance to share all of the beautiful moments that took place. But this one… I had to come back to.Rhythm of Pages hosted our Spring Book Club, where we read Bold, Black, and Becoming by Dr. Abena Berry. What made this experience even more special was having Dr. Abena Berry join us as our special guest. Talk about alignment! @drabenaberry I’ll never forget coming across her on TikTok and then having the opportunity to experience her presence in person; it exceeded every expectation. It was truly a powerful and memorable gathering.I’m so grateful for moments like these and look forward to reading more of her work.Stay tuned for our next Rhythm of Pages Book Club… we’re just getting started ✨#bookclub #chicago #reading by @taishanany

Seeing my outer features finally reflect my inner essence just gives me lifeeee ☀️ Year 4 of my fitness journey… Current weight: 145 lbs. Goal weight: 130 lbs.Let’s talk nutrition, gut health, walking, yoga, and weightlifting 🩷I’ve focused on eating whole foods, getting 30g of protein per meal, and 30g of fiber a day, and prioritizing my gut health with a daily pre+probiotic. Not only do I feel more energized and alive, but I’m more vibrant inside and out. This lifestyle has truly healed me from the inside out. I spend most of my time walking and weightlifting when I can, with yoga at least once a week.Time to REFLECT!I completed the 75 Hard in June of this year, and since then, I’ve maintained my weight at 145 lbs. I’ve stayed in a state of flow; moving with my own rhythm, especially while grieving the loss of my dad and granny this year. I’m especially grateful that I’ve continued to show up for myself through such tender times.The last few pictures are from last year after my birthday trip to Greece. I was so inflamed; processed meat, dairy, no knowledge of gut health, no awareness of inflammation or how deeply it affects your mind, mood, and hormones.I’ll never forget looking in the mirror, confused and overwhelmed, wondering how I came back from that trip looking nothing like myself. I crieddd because I knew I’d hit my breaking point. I was ready to do whatever I needed to do. And within two weeks, I lost 15 lbs. Every part of that shift was God; truly, all glory goes to Him. #fitness #beforeandafter #transformation #guthealth by @taishanany

Happy Thirty-Won Birthday to Me 🏆💛✨I am living the life of my dreams, and to know this is only the beginning fills me with constant gratitude. This past year has been full of beautiful, loving, and growth filled moments… I reached my fitness goals, fell in love again, and spent special, intentional time with family. It has also held somber moments, with the passing of my daddy and granny, yet even in grief, I’ve found a place of solace and peace that I am deeply grateful for.I remember being so afraid to feel; I used to run from my emotions. Now, I truly embrace it all. Grief exists, yes, but it isn’t heavy…. life is so full, lavish, and overflowing with blessings. I give all the glory to God, because I am living in answered prayers.This birthday season, I am embracing joy and grief simultaneously, celebrating all that I am and all that I’ve become. I’m grateful for the growth, the lessons, the love, and the opportunities to fully show up for myself. I am in a space of harmony, alignment, and gratitude, and I step into 31 wide open…. my heart, my spirit, and my purpose fully awake.Here’s to a new decade of living intentionally, loving boldly, and continuing to blossom into the woman God created me to be. 💛✨(Writers Block is real. It took me days to come up with this) by @taishanany
