<h3 style="text-align: center;">The Couple&#8217;s Baby Moon</h3>
<p>As <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/keke-palmer-and-boyfriend-darius-daulton-jackson-celebrate-baby-moon-with-tropical-vacation-photos/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Shade Room</a> previously reported, Palmer and Jackson celebrated their baby moon with a tropical vacation. The couple&#8217;s getaway also celebrated the arrival of the New Year.</p>
<p>In a post of her own, Palmer gave fans a glimpse at the couple&#8217;s retreat. And reflected on a lesson that she wanted to master over the course of the rest of her pregnancy.</p>
<blockquote><p>happy new year.<br />
baby moon was in full affect.</p>
<p>i’m really proud of myself for resting this trip. i am antsy by nature. i love having a schedule, even on vacation. i learned to at least schedule things leisurely so i have something to complete that’s on brand with the theme of the season.</p>
<p>which is, rest. i will refrain from saying “soft girl life” or whatever new label the folks are using <img class="emoji" role="img" draggable="false" src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/svg/1f606.svg" alt="ð" /><img class="emoji" role="img" draggable="false" src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/svg/1f974.svg" alt="ð¥´" />. &;&; instead i’ll just say that for me the theme is rest because, i can. i have spent many seasons sacrificing and i am quite fine with that, i learned that from my father. from both my parents, but my dad takes the cake. i want to be just like him. his life is full and he has given so much. i don’t think giving or sacrificing are bad things, it’s who i am and that will never change. but every season we are meant to embrace something new.</p>
<p>this season i am going to learn how to really take it easy. how to go slow(or slower than i have which is speedy for the average <img class="emoji" role="img" draggable="false" src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/svg/264d.svg" alt="âï¸" /><img class="emoji" role="img" draggable="false" src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/svg/1f481-1f3fe-200d-2640-fe0f.svg" alt="ðð¾♀ï¸" />&#8211; <img class="emoji" role="img" draggable="false" src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/svg/1f923.svg" alt="ð¤£" />) because it definitely doesn’t mean my drive and passion will end, just transform and evolve through a different tool. how will channeling my skill through this pov make me sharper?</p>
<p>the point is. everything that’s going to come is already in motion. all i have to do is enjoy. be grateful and reap the benefits of those that came before me, all the sacrifices, all the prayers and all the power to be intentional and at EASE.</p></blockquote>
