Chulita Tear Drop - Every Day

“Every Day I am working to build. When I say build I mean, I am not done or quite yet satisfied with what I’ve built so far that I want to work to build more. That also means shedding what doesn’t serve me. I am working on making changes that are driven by filling my energy with all the positivity that wants to surround me. When I go through challenging times my soul becomes this force and guides me to feel protected and alive. I probably have my ancestors to thank for that. I am going through something now that is unexplainable but it’s positively exciting but I at the same time feel like I am about to combust, you know?
This mix like my mind is reflected on a forward path to healing and unlearning and learning so much personal and relationship hurt I have come across in my past. Hope you enjoy this mix and find healing and power through your journey.
”
