Equality, Liberty and Justice For All

Today is the last day of Black History Month. I didn’t write much in regards to Black History because I don’t believe it can be or should be confined to a month. Much less the shortest month of the year 🙄. The contributions that Black people have made and continue to make in this world are innumerable. I am proud of who we are as a people. I love that we rise up each and every time. Through racism, sexism and homophobia. Though the world may not be for us, we still strive to make it a better place for everyone. And for our allies, continue to rock with us. So much is accomplished when we work together.

*“We all require and want respect, man or woman, black or white. It’s our basic human right.” —Aretha Franklin*

*“I’m not concerned with your liking or disliking me… all I ask is that you respect me as a human being.” —Jackie Robinson*

*“Sometimes, I feel discriminated against, but it does not make me angry. It merely astonishes me. How can any deny themselves the pleasure of my company? It’s beyond me.” —Zora Neale Hurston*

*“I am America. I am the part you won’t recognize. But get used to me. Black, confident, cocky; my name, not yours; my religion, not yours; my goals, my own; get used to me.” —Muhammad Ali*

*“My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.” —Desmond Tutu*

“We should emphasize not Negro History, but the Negro in history. What we need is not a history of selected races or nations, but the history of the world void of national bias, race hate, and religious prejudice.” —Carter Woodson

*“When we’re talking about diversity, it’s not a box to check. It is a reality that should be deeply felt and held and valued by all of us.” —Ava DuVernay*

Be well and whole. Much love 🧡💚

The Masterful Morning Show

I manifested this opportunity. I didn’t mean to. I didn’t think I was ready for it. Yet it ran across my mind and now I am doing it. It’s weird because the things that I am purposely working on manifesting don’t usually go my way. But I can have a thought about a particular thing, and boom here it is. I guess one day my other manifestations will come about.

While listening to this podcast, I thought one day I am going to be a guest on here. Not now because I don’t have some awesome business to talk about. I don’t have a YouTube channel dedicated to wind up toys that is so cool (The Wind Up Project). I don’t have a podcast that motivates people with bite sized tidbits (Sincerely Her). I don’t have a successful online business selling waterproof, stylish headwear (Aqua Headwear). Hell, I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up. But once I have it together, I’m going to ask to be a guest on the podcast.

About a week later, I get an invitation to appear on the podcast to discuss this here blog and bring awareness to multiple sclerosis. Can you believe it?!? I know! I was so shocked. But most importantly, I was touched and valued. Here I am thinking I don’t have anything to share because I am not yet successful. Here I am putting limitations on myself, on God. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I guess I still have work to do when it comes to believing my worthiness.

So here are the details. I am going to be live with the Masterful Manifestors on the Masterful Morning Show. The show is on Wednesday, March 3, 2021 at 1:30 pm Eastern time on Facebook Live. This is an awesome show that spotlights people from all walks of life. People that are creative, fun, motivating and inspiring. People who are looking to make their mark on this world in their own special way. I am so blessed to be given the opportunity to tell my story. To be introduced to a whole new set of people to motivate, touch and inspire.

If you can’t watch the show live, it will appear on the Masterful Manifestors Facebook page after the recording. I recommend you check out their page. There is some pretty amazing people who have already been featured on the show. The creators of the show are funny, warm and welcoming to their guests. It is a podcast I enjoy listening to. One of my favorite episodes is a breathing exercise I listen to when I know that I need to take a minute. Between Marian, Melanie, Taylos and their honored guest, you will find something that resonates with you.

I don’t know exactly how this show is going to go, but I know I am going to make the most of it. I am going to shine my light so bright. I am going to be my authentic self. Still not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing 🤔😆. But it is a real thing. And that is the person I want people to see and connect with. It is the only person I know how to be, me.

Know your worth and don’t let anyone, even yourself, doubt it. Who you are right now is what this world needs. Continue to be well and whole. Much Love 🧡💚

Happy Valentine’s Day 💗

I don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day and it’s not just because I’m single 😄. And not because I’m a heartless hag either. I just think it is a hyped up day. Not saying, if someone brought me a gift that I wouldn’t take it. I ain’t stupid 😆. Every day when I listen to my morning activation and it gets to the part where I state my intentions for the day, it is always love. Every day I want to show love. I believe that love is the answer. When I operate out of love, I am a more compassionate and empathic person, except when I’m driving. Something about being behind the wheel makes me lose it all. I am also terrible as a passenger too 😬. I’m still working on that part people.

Anyways, Happy Valentine’s Day my dear readers. Just know I love and appreciate you and your support every day. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Be well and whole. Much love 🧡💚
