Time, what does it mean to you?

Finding the time to say this because you never know how much time you have...

Okay, so first WOW and WELCOME!!!!!!!!!

I won’t pretend like we all already know each other here, so let’s just move quickly through the intros shall we?! I am Zewiditu Jewel and this here is my newsletter, which by the way, I hope you’re reading with expression to practically hear my voice as you read these words and perhaps absence of grammatical errors etc. because ya’ll I LOVE to write more than I love to talk and it’s been a long time!!

I have a brand called “Sober in The Morning” which is a lifestyle, you feel me! You do not have to be sober or in recovery to participate in this brand and journey with me, you’ve just got to be yourself and I say that as if it’s easy…but trust me, this is the last place I’m asking you to wear your mask (get it)! Sober in The Morning is all about redefining sobriety, as I’ve found that after being sober for 4 years (January 2022) dealing with your shit, like truly handling it without any substances, is indeed sobering. I’d use alcohol as a coping mechanism to silence my sadness and anchor my pain, I loved to drink but drinking didn’t love me back. So I had to learn how to love myself without the liquor…I’m still learning to be honest and that’s why we’re here.

I won’t bother you with uplifting quotes that I have a hard time practicing myself, I will only share with you, what I’m practicing for myself and I will be absolutely honest. In fact, I am pretty good for that, but I won’t let my truths muddle my mind with quality content…so I want to hear from you. I actually hope we can make this more interactive, you know you can submit letters and stuff to my email. I will do my very best not to curse and find better words for the both of us to use the next time someone wants to insert their carefully crafted opinion of us somewhere…I mean right?

Alright this is getting lengthy, so I just wanted to come here and let you know what you can expect from me. Every Monday. That’s right, I’m taking over your Mondays, so move over all culturally relevant tv shows because I’m on your radio/podcast at 7AM with Sober in The Morning, on your computer/phone screen at 7PM with the visual live journal and in your inbox at 12pm for a little lunch break humor.

It’s time, time to push the gas and do all the things we’ve been waiting to do because no one is coming for us, but everybody is waiting.

xoxo,

Zewiditu Jewel
