Yoooo!! How y’all feelin love ones?! Forgive me, I just left Elephante’ in Santa Monica, and I can’t lie, I’m a lil saucey right now family. Currently I’m on the train back to Noho, listening to the Curren$y episode of Drink Champs. Spitta what up nigga?! NORE and EFN, I love y’all man, much love. Today was a pretty good day, no complaints at all. I’m back at work early tomorrow, so it was only right that I grab some dinner, and unwind. Ready to get back to the crib so I can roll a nice one. I’m also going to do my stock analysis, and make some plays as far as my next investments. If you made it through the fast today, I’m proud of you, way to push. If you’re done with your day, go ahead and enjoy a good dinner, because that’s exactly what I did.

Today I did a lot of reflecting on my past. Here me out, I’m not stuck there. However, today I found myself reflecting on all the people that I’ve encountered in life. I thought about all the people that showed me love, and I also thought about all the people that mishandled me, and vice versa. I reflected on all of this because I’m moving on. If I’m stuck in my past, it will affect my present, which will also affect my future. So I honestly can afford to keep living my past because my present and future is so bright! With all that being said, I want to forgive all those that may have mishandled me. No matter what it was, you taught me lessons that was necessary for my growth. Instead of saying fuck you, I say thank you. I also want to apologize to anyone that I may have mishandled. If we’re still cool, I’ll do everything in my power to make things right. However, if bridges are already burned, I understand and respect it, there’s no love lost. I honestly wish everyone nothing but success and happiness, whatever that means to you. But it’s time for me to move on and continue to step in my greatness. I know life still has many lessons to teach me, and I’m ready for whatever it brings.

See ya tomorrow Santa Monica. Today was a pretty good day for me. Time basically flew at work. I got a lot done today, so the rest of the week should flow smoothly. I recently bought some cannabis tinctures, and I’m going to give my honest review. I love it. It’s a great alternative to smoking cannabis. I also like the way it mellows me out. I think it’s perfect for work as well. However, the high doesn’t last that long, and I think my tolerance is way too high. I bought two bottles of the tincture and I’m already down to one. So, yeah..I got my work cut out for me. Having the tinctures, is a good alternative for me because I don’t smoke as many joints during the day. So I am proud of myself for that. Got an off day on Saturday. I must was clothes!! Shit!! I’ve been putting off laundry for the past week. It’s getting out of control.

I mentioned Dame Dash earlier. I’m listening to his Drink Champ episode. He’s really growing on me. A lot of old heads are growing on me in some type of way. Why? I have no idea. But as an entrepreneur, I can’t help but to look up to these guys because that’s who I saw when I was coming up. Dame’s energy is definitely what I strive to be at the moment. Passionate, ambitious, hungry, savage. He’s so passionate about his business, and his lifestyle. I’m the same way, my empire is all I care about, and I’ll die building this shit if I have to. Much love to the OG Dame Dash. Thanks for your contribution to the culture. Thank you for your ideas, your motivation, and most of all your hustle. It’s one of a kind brotha, and it can never be replaced.

So..this morning started off pretty good. No complaints. Only thing on my mind right now is progression. Since the beginning of the year I’ve been pretty consistent with dropping merch. I haven’t been consistent as far as marketing, but I now have a budget and an outlet for all of that. So I’m ready to implement those strategies. However it is time for me to go harder as far as my little empire. A full analysis is due. It’s time to write down new end of the year goals. One of my goals is to start the credit repair process. I’m probably going to handle this on my own, because I honestly don’t trust anyone else to help me fix my credit. Right now, I’m in the fitting room at work sorting through clothes, and all I can think about is this Dame Dash interview I was just listening to. His energy is contagious, and I love it. I might not agree with everything he says, but as a business man I respect his hustle and his intellect.....more thoughts at lunch.

Morning guys! I stopped waking and baking a while back because they triggered migraines, but I woke up pretty well this morning so I decided to twist a small joint. I’m also brainstorming on what my next podcast episode would be. Yesterday I told you guys how much I’m into skin care at the moment, so I’m definitely touching on that. But I also think I want to talk about self respect, self love and self care more. Everyone knows what self care is or at least have an idea. Self love and self care is probably one of the most talked about subjects within the past three years. I’ve been on my self love journey for at least two years and this year everything is just starting to connect. Right now, I feel like I’m at the top of my game when it come to self love and self care. Yes, quarantine had a lot to do with it. Social distancing allowed me to really be alone with myself and my thoughts. I was able to do much needed shadow work. Now I wake up everyday empowered and deeply in love with who I am. But here’s the thing what’s going to happen when everything opens back up, and I’m amongst people again??? This is where you put everything you’ve learned and worked for to use. It’s great to get over trauma and heal, but everyone on the outside didn’t go on that journey with you. Hell some might still see you as the same person, even though you’ve embarked on a new journey. This is where it counts. Getting back out there knowing people are going to try and keep you in that same place. So I think the next episode of my podcast will be about remaining in your happiness. Others will try you, and it’s natural. Everyone doesn’t come out of their trauma. Some are comfortable in their trauma and they’re content with it. And they would do anything to get you back in a place mentally. So this episode will be not just about healing and finding your happiness but also protecting it as well.

What’s shakin good folks? As you can see I’m outside for a quick lil sec. I just need to run to the dispensary right quick and get my usual half ounce. Hope all is well with you guys. I hope y’all staying safe. It’s a couple things I want to share. One I’ve been very happy and loving myself more lately, and that’s amazing. Two, I’ve gotten into skin care throughout the quarantine. Much love to the lady for being a great lady friend and inspiring the young stud. But I want to take you guys through my journey. I just started a couple weeks ago, and I’m already seeing results. Hell, this shit is boosting my confidence for real. I realize, self care is self love and self love is self respect. I never really looked at it this way, but when I did that’s when the light bulb came on. If you respect yourself, it’s only right to take care of yourself. And when you take care of yourself, not only do you look good, but you feel good. And when you feel good you definitely make better decisions. I must say this new lifestyle is giving me an even more sense of self. It took me forever to get here but damn it, I’m here and it’s the best feeling in the world!

What’s good AV crew! I been on a high for like the past two weeks man. Not just a weed high, but a life high. I haven’t felt like this in a while. Right now it’s about 7:30am on the west coast, and right now I’m just reflecting on how far a nigga really came. I’ve reached a new level of happiness by simply letting go of my past. My whole past too. I’m talking family trauma, relationship trauma, gaining more confidence in myself and purposefully living my brand day in and day out. How did I reach this level of happiness?? By putting myself first and just listening to myself more. It’s true guys, you really have to go inward to find your peace. Loving yourself, and I mean actually practicing self love gives you your control and power back within yourself. At first it will feel awkward and corny because we’re usually not that kind to ourselves. But when you keep giving yourself this love at some point it does feel like a high. So I say all of this to say... make peace with your past, let it go so you can actually enjoy everything that’s in front of you in the present. That’s where happiness is.

AV crew what’s up!? I know it’s been a few days, how’s everyone holding up?? Me? I’m staying busy. Much love to everyone that’s shopping AV merch, you guys are awesome and I appreciate it you so much. Today I wanted to tap in with you guys about the brand. For the most part, I’m happy with everything and how things are going. However, it’s time for me to take it to the next level. I’m talking designing and quality. When I first started AV, I was just happy to put out merch and I wanted to stretch my initial budget as far as I could. Now I’m ready to move on and push the envelope even further. So today I’m designing all day today. The goal is to find another vibe. More color, maybe more graphics who knows. But I wanted you guys to hear it from me first, so stay on the lookout for that. I hope everyone is safe and healthy, and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day. Remember, Lil Ash loves you #oklilash
