Hello, my dearest Adventurers!

I had initially written a different blog post for my first, but I decided I wanted to go a different route. I want to show you all where I'm coming from and where we will be going on this journey together towards a better quality life. I want to set the tone and the direction for the first steps of the process because I truly believe this will change and turn into something new and different. This will be something that brings us together, makes us stronger, and develops us into the highest, most powerful versions of ourselves. And I'm so glad you're here with me in the infancy of this blog, because with you we can build this into something fantastic!

Let's jump into it together!

This blog vision came to me in 2020, but at that point, I didn't have the desire to pursue it. Life, it seemed, had other plans, leading me down a path where I was pushed to become my own best friend and to realize who truly had my best interests at heart. This period was critical for my growth, bringing me to the point where I now pursue this vision: to help guide you when you need it, to provide wisdom from my lessons, to uplift and motivate, and to be an example for those who have felt stuck, as I once did.

My intention is to help you by continuing my own growth and development. Even though I'm in a much better place than I was just two months ago, I still need guidance, love, support, kindness, and reminders to be the highest version of myself. I want to fully embrace my power as the unique being I am in this lifetime. After all, I only get to be Jamelah Luckett once. YOLO, as it were.

This initial post is set up differently from the ones that will follow. The ones that follow will probably be set up differently from the ones I write a year from now. This adventure to grow will change us as people, prove to us there's a better solution, provide us the encouragement to take charge, and ultimately bring those around us up in vibration with us as we grow and expand. Our growth will change lives, it will provide others with an example, a template even, it will get them curious, or it will repel them, and this will change the world.

Being an example to those around you holds more power than simply telling them your story or your plans. Most people want to see results, to know if something truly works before they invest their time or energy. And in this process of growth, we are ultimately investing in ourselves. By doing so, we demonstrate to others that self-investment is a source of power, the most valuable thing you can do – something no one can ever take away from you. Did you catch that? NO ONE CAN TAKE THAT AWAY FROM YOU! No one! Because you are a powerful, energetic being who, at your core, operates for yourself.

You are the creator of your own experience because no one gets to be you, and you will never be the same person twice. You are a different person now than you were even 2 sentences ago. There’s a saying from Heraclitus, the Greek philosopher, that I think is powerful and puts this into the perfect perspective of an Adventurer like us; it goes like this:

“No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.”

Our bodies are constantly growing, changing, and evolving beyond our control, so we might as well grow with them. The things we put into our bodies, such as literature, music, food, drink, and thoughts, all affect us on a molecular level. In the most literal sense, we are what we consume. The physical world we live in is the same way, Earth is a giant living organism connected to all plants, animals (including us, we are animals), fungi, bacteria, minerals, and the elements that make up all of these things. What we put into the Earth is what we get back from the Earth. Earth is a part of a bigger, more vast network of planets and celestial beings. To put this into perspective of how the Earth is moving through the known universe:

We are literally on this planet being flung around the Sun at an average speed 18.5 miles (29.8 km) a second, whilst spinning (almost a 1000 miles (1609.3 km) an hour) on an axis, while the solar system is flying through space around the center of the Milky Way at 140 miles (225.3 km) a second, and the Milky Way along with the neighboring galaxies are speeding at 25 miles (40.2 km) a second towards the center of the group of galaxies. That group of galaxies, that we are a part of, is moving at 375 miles (603.5 km) a second toward the Virgo Cluster (Stardate.org).

Whether you like it or not, we are moving at breakneck speeds toward a destination. The planet is ever moving and changing, whether we are here to occupy it or not. Why not journey with the Earth while we are here? Why not use the power of momentum and the flowing interconnected energy available to us to adventure forward?

The life you deeply desire, whether it's a burning passion or a quiet wish you keep to yourself, is waiting for you. No one can steal your experiences, your potential, the connections you long for, or the lessons you're here to learn. The Universe, Creator, your Highest Self, God, Spirit – whatever resonates with you – will orchestrate what you desire and need, delivering it in perfect timing. The power in knowing this brings ease and a more fulfilling life, allowing you to focus on being authentically yourself and pursuing your purpose. And if you don't know yet who you are or what that purpose is, then you've come to the right place. I remind myself of my own identity and soul's mission every day, and still, I need those reminders. Why? Because I'm human. Isn't that explanation enough for why we need to nurture ourselves with the same care we give others? We are simply humans learning what it means to be alive, relying on our own free will to reach our desired destination. We must take care of ourselves, providing the love and support we inherently deserve. And we are worthy of a satisfying life, by default. By being born, we are worthy… PERIOD! There is nothing else.

You are worthy of being here on this planet, flying through space and time like a perfectly calculated Beyblade (or spinning top), headed for connection and community – towards your highest self. This is the version of you that knows who they are, what they are, and what they are meant to do, thriving each and every day from waking to sleep. Thriving is living with an extra spark, a touch of magic. It's the ability to embrace life and all its challenges while living your best life, growing and flourishing in all situations, regardless of external circumstances, always striving to your fullest potential.

For me to say all of this without expressing my own recent lessons would be ludicrous, missing the very point of my mission. Transparency is key; I want there to be a clear record from this day forward of my growth. I envision someone five years from now saying, “Damn… look at all the effort and perseverance it took to get here. She’s someone who has come a long way and continues to level up no matter what life throws her way. I can get behind her and her vision.” My aim is for my life to be such an example that simply living authentically will guide and teach others to rise to their higher selves, embracing new versions of themselves as many times as needed until they fully accept who they are.

To get here, to actually post a blog post from the vision I received in 2020, I’ve had to do a lot. I had to get rid of some relationships, material things, old habits, old beliefs, and my old identity. I had to get to the point of self-acceptance that I believe I’m worthy of speaking up, for my voice to be heard, to reach others, and to become who I was born to be. I had to understand that my timing and the universe’s timing are not the same in any capacity. I had to understand that sometimes things are taken from me to make space for newer, better, and more aligned things to fall into place. I had to lose “progress” to gain true progress. 

I had been at a stagnant point since deciding to pursue "money moves" and become a Digital Marketer in 2022. At that time, I was DoorDashing to make ends meet, still an online student, and still attributing my life's events to external sources. I blamed my recent failed relationship for my predicament and being back in Texas with family, a place I didn't enjoy. I blamed my parents for unmet promises, when self-reliance was what I truly needed. I even blamed the Creator for my circumstances, failing to see my own role in them. The stagnant job market became another target of my blame for almost a year of unemployment, overlooking the need to create my own opportunity. The sales job I finally landed at the end of 2023, and held until May 2024, was also blamed for not working out, instead of recognizing my true interests lay elsewhere. And yes, I blamed myself for being a failure, for letting everyone down, instead of acknowledging I’m only a human and I’m allowed to fuck up. The lessons within all of this didn't become clear until late June. When I did finally realize and understand, I was not ready. I wanted so desperately to be, but I wasn’t. I desperately yearned for that glow-up, but I hadn't yet proven to myself and the Creator that I was truly ready. 

So, I began the process of starting an online business: a new domain, an SSL certificate (that 's' in 'https://' signifies security), and then the work began. Oh my gosh! I was so slow, nitpicking every detail. Initially, I thought I needed to build a site from scratch using HTML and CSS – the skeleton and skin of a website, respectively. My misguided goal was to become a web developer while still pursuing my studies to be a veterinarian specializing in the physical and emotional therapy of animals. Writing that out now, I can only face-palm. How could I have been so blind? How often are we blind to our own long game, even when we're fortunate enough to know it? Once I was in about ankle-deep with the coding, the Universe intervened, denying my Venture Devils (through ASU) submission by a mere second.

Three weeks later, an epiphany struck: I should use my writing talent to help those who were – or are – in the same boat as me: lost, angry, and confused. I gathered the submission details for Venture Devils again, and this time, the requirements had been reduced to a third of the initial workload. I was accepted on my first attempt, something I never doubted after clarifying the requirements and maintaining contact with the admissions coordinator.

I was all excited and proud of my site on DreamWeaver and proceeded to show one of the mentors from the Venture Devils my maximum effort. Within the first 15 minutes of the meeting, I was crying nasty, gross, sobbing tears, the kind you get when you work on something for so long you feel connected to it like it’s your baby, and then someone comes through and destroys it. That's how it felt when he said, “You’re not a web developer. How you build your site isn't important to your audience. You should really look into a site builder like WordPress and focus on creating beautiful content!” And you better believe I felt a deep resonance when he said, "... focus on creating beautiful content!" Even amidst the hurt, I felt seen, a weight lifting from my shoulders. I hadn't mentioned it before, but even my initial attempt at a "handwritten" site (one coded directly) was thwarted; between DreamWeaver and my site provider, we couldn't get it to go live, despite days of persistent attempts that yielded the same three connection error messages. Eventually, I returned to a web host I'd used in the past, but my progress remained slow. That was in August 2024.

By February 2025, most of my website ideas were taking shape, resembling its current form. A photoshoot with a friend yielded a new profile picture and updated images of myself. At this point, I had 960+ pictures on my micro-SD card for my DSLR, from months of capturing memories. Then, inexplicably, either the card reader or the card itself seemed to decide that most of my files were corrupted, leaving me with only 80 salvaged photos – none from the recent shoot. I cried internally, wrestling with the problem, only to be met with the same frustrating issue of corrupted files. Reluctantly, I spent the money on a new SD card and reader, accidentally purchasing the wrong type for my camera (though I took it in stride, knowing a camera upgrade was on the horizon). So, another purchase was necessary, and I ended up with a three-pack of cards for the same price as the initial incorrect one.

Having invested all my funds into the necessary tools for my site launch, I then faced a death in the family in March. He was one of the greatest dreamers I knew – brilliant, charismatic, confident, and the only person I'd ever encountered who traveled the world through the sheer force of his words and the faith others had in him. His passing ignited a fierce determination within me, a feeling that his spirit would surely fill my life with obstacles if I gave up now. He believed in me more than I ever did, and it wasn’t evident to me until it was “too late” to tell him. I knew I had to get myself and my Mom to Washington, my home state, for his memorial service in April – an event that was, ironically, a perfect disaster, thank you for asking. Everything that happened while I was in Washington felt perfectly orchestrated, allowing me to experience flow state in a new way. Like I had time with everyone whom I hadn’t seen in years, to bond with newer family members, and to focus on putting what I learned into practice. I had no schedule conflicts, no major disruptions, and everything felt as if it were meant to be. While there, I also made the conscious decision to revisit old, less healthy habits, a path my cousin had also chosen during my visit. We both agreed it was time to get it out of our systems.

Upon returning to Texas, I immersed myself in this project, determined to make it work and build a foundation for my future. As I neared the end of the semester and was about to fully launch my site, yet another roadblock appeared, this time a psychological one. Initially, I told myself I needed everything to be perfect before rewarding myself with the small bottle of Prosecco (to shake up and pop) I'd bought weeks ago for the launch celebration, and the final two locs I planned to add to my hair to signify this new chapter. I wanted to ensure everyone could create an account, reply, donate, and communicate with me through the forms. WHALE (Well) the Creator seemed to ask, “Nuh-uh, honey, is this really about money?” To that, I unapologetically answered yes.

Throughout this journey of growth and setbacks, I was still DoorDashing. I knew it no longer served me, simply because the enjoyment I once found in it was gone. I was tired of it, yet felt compelled to continue. On paper, it made sense; it had barely sustained me for the past three years as my primary income source. It took a full weekend of mediocre orders and one disappointing Monday night of deliveries for the answer I was seeking to hit me. I realized this was about something deeper than financial stability. It was about establishing my voice, stepping into my true power, and finding stability within that. I had been doubting myself, my hard work, my inherent power, and the Creator’s plan for me. My fear of having nothing had led me to abandon myself.

I abandoned myself when I needed my own comfort, love, and the provision of ease and peace the most. Even typing this evokes great emotion, as I see the extent of my blindness. How could I offer hope and be an example to others if I was so willing to abandon myself as if I were insignificant? How could I advise others to be their own best friend and trust the process while I was desperately clinging to control in my own life? Actually, scratch that. How could I be a hypocrite? Where would that lead me? The answer, perhaps surprisingly, is nowhere – the same stagnant place I'd been. But apparently, the lesson hadn't fully sunk in, because guess what? My shop couldn't be established through the site builder I was using, and it remains unresolved to this day, requiring direct intervention on my site, forcing me to wait and be patient. This led to more intense soul-searching until, just yesterday, the realization hit me: to stop being a little bitch and jump off the damn cliff! Because you were waiting for me, you and all the people you know, whether you like them or not, were waiting for you to get this message.

If you've ever received a message from Divinity, something you instinctively know you can excel at even if it doesn't logically make sense, please take my word for it: just start working on it. Because when the pieces begin to align and your epiphany arrives, you'll understand. The initial step is the hardest, and some setbacks feel like the world is collapsing around you, but once the vision becomes clear, you'll see that it couldn't have unfolded any other way. I know I couldn't have.

If this message resonates with even one person, then I will have done my job. I will have proven to myself and the Universe that every struggle was necessary for that individual's growth, enabling them to uplift those around them and to live in alignment with their soul's purpose. I can rest knowing I took my chance and helped that one person. I can die knowing I did that for them, that they received it, and that it empowered them to live freely and fully. I can rest knowing that all the pain and all the hard lessons I learned through my whole life were worth it, and for them, it was life-changing.

Now, I don't believe my time is near; I have too many promises from the Creator yet to be fulfilled. So, I'm confident you'll have plenty of time to grow and develop alongside me!

With that in mind, I'm so grateful you've reached the end of this foundational post. As I mentioned, future posts will have a different format, but I wanted this one to illustrate the fierce determination it took to arrive here. Because I believe I am manifesting a better life, and I want you to witness the journey, to see what it truly takes to reach for, chase, and create the life you deserve. We should relentlessly pursue our own growth, because as we do, everything else will align. We are our own constant companions and ultimate support system, so why treat ourselves with anything less than profound love and acceptance? Embracing ourselves unconditionally is the only way we can truly thrive and freely extend that love to those around us.

That is all for this post, dear Adventurers. If you found value or enjoyment in this message, please consider sharing it with someone who might benefit. Remember, we are all on this journey together, and the more companions we help guide, the brighter our collective future will be.

I encourage you to share your thoughts in the comments below or reach out to me through the Contact Me page or via direct message on my social media accounts (linked in the site’s footer). I look forward to connecting with you and reading your insights as I prepare for next week's adventure.

With Love,

Jamelah Luckett
