Thanks!

May 2023 bring rest❤️

You have a beautiful and creative mind and your thoughts flow rapidly ❤😅

Wow! This was timely for the new year. Just spoke with my coworker last week about how black women don’t know HOW to rest. I told her this year is my year to rest and trust God wholeheartedly. 😊

This video has added a layer of healing to my soul. Thank you Alecia. 💜💜💜💜

6:20 mark when you speak about silence/clarity. 🎯🎯🎯 I just logged out of all forms of social media. I’m not participating in fb/TikTok/IG and from watching the news this year. I’m trying to get the clarity AND rest you speaking about. I want to focus on things that truly inspire me. I appreciate you for all you’ve done for me just simply through the videos you upload. I want to be apart of the community building your doing from the last video I watched. I just want to LIVE.. that’s it . ❤, peace, rest and blessing to you and all Black Women around this globe for 2023 and beyond. May this be the the start of healing for all black women what ever that may look like🥳

omg, everything you said i was healing this week, so hearing you talk about this is so validating. thank you being so authentic!!!

OMG people pleasing is one of my biggest struggles I mean biggest. I’ve sacrificed myself in so many ways being a people pleaser. I need to unpack that and really removed that out of my life. It’s the main thing that takes me away from rest, deep rest. Thank you so much for this video.

This is great content! Thank you for being obedient ❤

15:06 this is where I'm at 😩I need this message, i don't have help so i have to learn to trust God 24/7. I need a break 😩🙏🏾

This is the main theme of winter in the first place. TMH gave us this season. Even it is a sign of rest. The other day, while feeling cozy, having accepted rest, I received an image of my foremothers finally enjoying resting thru me! My DNA spoke to me and unforseen purpose: "I am the rest my mothers had not fully experienced." Imagine that! Imagine the turmoil within our DNA finally taking a deep breath and letting go of that past . ! Imagine all of them, .. triple great grancestors all finally being able to release ... Thus heal ... Bc of our rest. Commandments are a gift for peaceful living from TMH Creator! HLH HWH ✨💖✨

"Give God All the Things" That felt like home ❤️

Thank you ♥️

I’ve been resting since October. Even the bills can wait, I hate this country 🙂👋🏾

Thank you! Enjoy your rest! ❤️

You and your chanel are AWESOME!!!

26:31 YES!!! It truly takes trust in God to rest!

Happy new year love. Yess this is a goal of mine. 🤗🤎🤗

I wish I could rest. Having children especially a toddler makes it hard to relax even when I finally get my child down for a nap being that I'm a stay at home mom right now, it's so late in the day that I don't have much time to relax and then it's time to cook dinner. Enjoy the rest ladies especially when you can afford to do selfcare cause I have fibroids now due to the stress in my life. Anyways thanks for the helpful video.

Thank you for your videos. I've been conditioned to always be productive. I have a hard time to sit and just really relax and let things be. It's like I'm in survival mode 24/7 and it's exhausting. I'm gonna learn to take better care of myself this year by learning to let go and just let the chips fall where they may.

Thank you for this video

"Becoming a Well Rested Black Woman"... 👈🏾 That part! (Episide 1, Episode 2, etc.... just on that ALONE) LOL!!

“Some clarity comes from being quiet”-yes!

I love the transparency ❤️

I'm in a season of rest for a lifestyle of surrender on this Joyfilled Journey ❤

Peace. Alecia. I have listened to some of your videos and this one is so on point with what is going on today. I just wanted to share that many years ago when people were debating about feminism and so forth. I always said that Black Women Never had to fight for the right to work like white women did. We need to fight to sit down! and I stand by that. When have Black Women not worked come on. I read a news article not long ago that said Black women actually went to College and entered the worked more than white women did during the 80's. Yes we always take full advantage when we have choices but now leading up to this era in life our Sisters need to be able to REST! in many aspects of our lives and your prayer at then end was beautiful as well as just the conversation we all must have as a collective and with our inner selves as to what our fears are and how do we finds way to REST and not feel at all guilty about it because we know women will work if needed but it is our time to acknowledge where we are and the detriment is is causing for us our mothers Grandma's and the young women coming up - so our lives can be fuller and not exhausting. Blessings!

Learn To SURRENDER All unto God 😮❤ I too Must Learn To Trust God in my Life as well.

Thank you so much for this🙏🏿 I've also been raised being told if you're resting, you're lazy, unproductive, passive, and not wanting anything in life. It has become so toxic, I removed myself from them. I need quiet time!! Also as you said, having the pleasure to do what you enjoy is a part of it. It took a journey in my life to realize it. Thanks again, best of 2023🥰

Your videos are always confirmation and right on time. 🙌 Thank you for having the courage to speak your mind and keep BEING the amazing you! 🤍

I've never seen your channel before and this is such a beautiful video. It really speaks to me as a gentle black woman. I'm getting married soon and I just want to live peacefully with him as the peacemaker. It's beautiful that you speak of God too. We beleive that the most high is black, though. But he's watching over all of his children that live right and we'll all find the right path along the way. This video just speaks to me.

Take time for you. I’m happy that you at least put a timeframe on your rest. It’s so toxic how we resist rest. Much love to you.

You articulate your thoughts so well and your videos are actually allowing me to address the things I haven't been able to or being afraid to admit to out loud. I'm SO happy for your service and many thanks.

My Sister works so hard I be begging her to get some sleep and she be like" I'm off this weekend so I'll make sure to get it then"

Love your authenticity. So much to extrapolate. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your messages, your words, your leadership, your light, your love, especially necessary for the 1st day of this year! I am breathing all your words in with much rest and light. THANK YOU!

Oh my God! This message is straight for me from heaven. You're talking and confirming what I have been thinking about and how I want to move forward in life. Thank you so much for sharing this message. Happy New Year!!

Alecia, I truly ❤ your content. It resonates with me and your previous posts have helped me realize the importance of rest. Since last summer, I’ve successfully implemented your principles in my life and I’m grateful. However, I have a question. How can young people achieve this rest if they’re working hard to make ends meet? I’m 61 years old and I now work part time which affords me time to rest. You mentioned your mom still works hard and my question to you is, in black families, does someone have to make the sacrifice by working hard and attaining some level of provision such as home ownership so the young generation can rest?

My bills say I have to

I was all over the place in 2022 with graduate school, adjusting to a new job industry and helping my daughter build a cottage. This year, I am resting

I have to say the last two videos your skin was really glowing, I wonder if telling yourself rest is coming or if you already strted the rest, you look so viberant! I am following suite for this new year! rest intell I feel "reborn" like myself again.

I was just wondering, if your mom was just resting when she was your age, would you have someone to stay with right now? I’m hella anti-work, slave system but I’m trying to figure out when it’s time to rest and when you gotta lay down a foundation to survive.

Thank you for this. Resting is my only goal for 2023. This is the first year that my goal/resolution is to have zero goals. I just need to rest. I just need to take care of me because I've been being that 'strong black woman' taking care of everybody else ... Helping everybody else and I realized NOBODY is looking out for me so everyone else will be on the back burner in 2023. For the whole year I'll be in my hammock with a good book and saying NO to everyone who ain't me. #restandbeblessed

I haven't commented on here for a while and I left the discord chat to ... Rest . I had a lot on my mind. Beautiful video with a profound message . Thank you . Happy New year to you 🎉 We do need Rest .

I love your talks. You have a wonderful way of expressing how you are feeling and what you’re going through. I resonate with a lot of what you are saying. Thank you for sharing ❤

I resolve on this date January. 01. 2023 to make no resolutions. I will endeavor to live abundantly, not through doing, but by being. Being the best me, loving as genuinely and as passionately as I can, and by showing that I am who I am, and that that is good enough. Rest dear sister! The world will be there when you return. Best to you!!

siiiiisss! Your videos never miss. I hit a point of exhaustion right at the end of 2022. And I felt like God was calling me to rest and heal. So I took action and for the first two weeks of January, I'm resting! It's crazy how hard it is to rest when you've made your life about producing. I'm reading this book right now it's called Buoyant, and it's meeting me right where I'm at. It's so good! I didn't realize how incredibly burnt out I was, and how all the things that were once creative outlets now feel like obligations. I'm excited to create for me in this time, I just started your video and I can't wait to continue. Bless you, on your journey. May you heal, rest, and recover.❤🙏🙌

Happy New Year!

Thank you for your words Alecia

I love this so much! Also on a deep healing journey with rest. If you’re connected to the Bible and Christian principles I recommend Sacred Rest by Sandra Dalton Smith groused in the principles and scripture you’re talking about!

Your videos are so cathartic and life changing. You have no idea how much your words have healed me. Thank you so much.❤🫂
