And poof... just like that I’m back in California.

Well not really poof... I’ve been planning on returning home for the last 7 years. And after a brief (6 year) stay in Florida (the land of my fore parents) I have returned to Southern California with my family. We made it an adventurous road trip, stopping in New Orleans, Memphis, Austin, Roswell, The Grand Canyon, The Hoover Dam and Vegas Baby! Now with the last of the at home children graduated from high school, a new adventure begins , the empty nest.

Hey y'all hey! It's been a while since I have had insomnia... But here we are at the close of the witching hour and yours truly is up working and sipping #Jasmine tea. Actually, my body has been going into #polyphasic sleep cycle during the summer for 7 or 8 years now. I've learned that it is a good time for me to reflect/meditate/create/recalibrate. As the new school year quickly approaches, I am eager/anxious to get back into the swing of things, new opportunities and gaining momentum on existing projects. The 1st half of the year was a bit of a bumpy ride as I was stretched into trusting the process (again). The 2nd half is starting off smoother (that doesn't mean that there won't be/aren't bumps and obstacles, I am mindful to remember trust in those moments.) I'm looking across my desk now at my vision board and feeling elated at the visions that have come to fruition: #myfirstessencefestival🙌🏾 spending time with family and #MumusSweetSummerATLBookParty and what is yet to come. This second half of the year also looks a lot like the beginning of my 2nd act and I'm feeling very ready. #GettingFree is reminicscent of the boldness and invincibility of youth, I am happy to be recapturing that and living forward. I'll be chatting about this and more on my #IGTV today (#TeaAndCrystals, What's up with #TarotEveryday and posting consistently, and why The Grandmothers card may be guiding the 2nd half of the year). #MorEning #Tea #TeaRitual #TeaTime #TeaTags #TeaLeaves #TeaLover #LetsDrinkThisTeaSon #NuthinButATeaThang #IHeartTea #PositiviTEA #SelfCareEvangelist #HopeDealer #HopeIsDope

Cuz I'm Bossy... When my brother @newbluesman9 blessed me with the moniker, I foolishly rejected it. Now I wholeheartedly embrace and embody it! Shout out to all my bosses! And thanks to little sis @missrds for blessing me with a new mug foe the collection. #LikeABoss #XLMug #PoppinTeaTags #SecureTheteaBag #MorEning #Tea #AfterMorEningTea #TeaRitual #TeaTime #TeaTags #TeaLeaves #TeaLover #HotSaladWater #LetsDrinkThisTeaSon #NuthinButATeaThang
