Sammi B Shares What?

A young mom's journey to self-discovery. 

My name is Samatha Beckwith (Velasco), but everyone calls me Sammi. I am married with two children. Generic... I know. This is always my standard introduction. I only realized how much this statement said about my perspective of myself when I started college. At the start of every class, I introduce myself the same way. The professor asked for hobbies or interests; I honestly had no idea who I was outside these two titles. At first, I felt those titles were the essence of my existence, and I was ok. Then as the repetitive statement continued, I wondered if that was all I was. Which drove me into my journey to self-discovery and self-love. I am finally living life and want to share my enlightened perspective with others.     

This blog is the product of my journey and the knowledge from my experiences. I want others to embrace their uniqueness and understand what it means to honestly love yourself. It is necessary to break away from conformity, which is born and burned into our memories and hinders our children from their potential. To merely exist is not living. My thoughts are untraditional, random, and a little eccentric. A trigger warning may be needed. If you are easily offended, please proceed with caution. I am not one to sugarcoat things to make someone feel better. I want to dig into the dark truth, so the light can come through. This blog will tell my truths. The raw ones that no one talks about. The truths that helped me become who I am today and that will help me become who I want to be. 

As a visitor here, I hope you allow yourself to partake in the journey; grow as a person, love yourself just as you are, and embrace the freedom it gives you. To repeat daily: "I am human. I make mistakes." It is easier to embrace your imperfections and own up to them rather than hide behind a wanton of perfection. We only get one journey, and I hope that you make the most of yours. 

Thank you so much for being part of the journey. There are plenty of ways that you can continue the journey with me. Connect with me on social media. Shop the merch. Collaborate with me. Share your journey with me. The sky is the limit. But, most of all, just be you.
