You would think with all this new obtained “freetime” were experiencing that we’d be establishing healthy routines and better self care. I have always had a procrastinative mentality about things I want to accomplish. I don’t hold myself as accountable as I should but I am aware my limitations and try not to overbare myself with things to do. I suppose a quarantine routine is necessary for me to step up to the plate. Prioritizing my goals will also help me to not become overwhelmed with trying to do everything at once and ease the guilt for doing so. I need to work on my patience. I really would like these things to happen overnight and its simply not even possible. I believe the journey would be a long one but must learn to enjoy it. It is said that success is not a destination but on going, much like happiness. You can’t fail something that is continuous. Failure can only come from quitting. Mistakes are meant to be learned from and improved on.

In these times of uncertainty I urge others to make the best of their own circumstance and allow gratitude to fill their spirit with the joy of being present. We all have the tendency to think of the past and how things were better or wish of a hopeful future. Nothing wrong with acknowledgement of both yet opportunities for blessings are of the now (this instance).

Motions by Diamond Marlana

A very good friend of mine stepped out on faith publishing a book sharing some very personal experiences with her peers in this journalistic style of writing. The book dives into her story and journey through adolescence to adulthood and her battles with serious conditions that come along with being a young African American woman in society. A beautiful and thoughtful read for young adults in search of themselves and or seeking evolution from within. I personally bought a copy to gift to my sister and Diamond was kind enough to share another to indulge myself in which I am so grateful. I was inspired by her honesty and moved to share it with more people. The book is available in paperback print or an ebook via amazon.

This whole being sober and celibate thing is tough. Somethings gotta give.

This song in particular means a lot to me as I’ve dealt with people on my team simply not pulling their own weight and you must think about those around you having purpose in your life. If that’s not the case why deal with what’s not for you. Here another thought provoking viewpoint from 3KSG’s @Whoop3k with production from @iamekletic both DMV based artists living in ATL. “The table”

Making a connection is difficult for me these days.. I don’t know if I’m numb to the process all together as a result of how I’ve handled relations since heartbreak. It maybe also how I prioritize. I tend to disregard my own emotions, and put my all in establishing myself but I struggle with that as well. Often feeling as though I don’t have the patience to deal with others feelings. If circumstances were different I might be more receptive and possibly that will change with time. I can be pretty intense and I don’t always think like how I feel is warranted but how can anyone value my feelings if I don’t consider them valid either?

Fear is not of me anymore.

I had the pleasure of participating in a peaceful protest in Anne Arundel county outside their circuit courthouse. Alongside myself we’re all walks of life. Judges, business professionals and rightful citizens. We had gathered at 8 am for the cause of equality in the industry of cannabis, specifically growing licensing which has been denied to minorities. Less than 30% are awarded these privileges awhile the system continues to profit from the incarceration of these same individuals. It was mentioned that the courthouse after 366 years had its first African American female judge, whom lead the rally into the courthouse after hours of chanting and dance for said cause. The blistering cold and windchill didn’t prevent us from voicing our rights and facts to the community. This is only the beginning of change. Special thanks to Remileaf for the invitation to be apart of rewriting history.
