I'm sitting here working on a grant through Venmo to fund a curriculum I created called the Artistic Flow of Chemistry. One of their questions asks for me to share how my experience as a black woman may have shaped my entrepreneurial experience........... realizing the reason I am an entrepreneur is because of my experience as a black woman.

Mental heath disorder labels - we should stop using them. Health diagnoses are hexes, I feel. What we say to ourselves and others are spells. What spells do we want to cast? Listen to your suffering and she will tell you.

I'd been craving chicken noodle soup for the past week. And when I finally ate it, not only was it delicious as chicken noodle soup always is. I connected to the moments when I felt cared for by my mother. As a result, my gut experienced spiritual nourishment as I continue this journey of healing my gut issues. There's some other thoughts in between, like is there really such a thing as good or evil?

I went to Hawaii for a vacation in July 2021. You ever have a feeling or a pull to do something that your mind can't rationalize. It doesn't make sense. In fact, it may even feel irresponsible. The moment I arrived to the island of Oa'hu, I knew I wanted to live there. It felt like home. There was an energy calling me there. To my surprise, I moved there 5 months later.

Listen to a conversation between myself and a friend, Lauren Dorvil as we explore this whole anxiety thing.  It's that feeling that sits in my gut.  That shows up unexpectedly.  And disrupts my thinking and Being.  We unpack what we think causes the anxiety as we move through our own anxiety that came up while recording this episode.  Lauren shares a beautiful strategy she uses in moving through anxiety; I've been using ever since our conversation.

I'm in a mastermind with some dope black women.  It is an 8-week program where we connect to our sensuality, create the life we desire, and connect by bringing all our skills and gifts to support each other (for more info, follow IG: @thepurplekittyny).  We do this using Deepak Chopra's book, The 7 Spiritual Laws of Success.  I've read this book before I joined this mastermind.  But it wasn't until now that I feel like I'm AWARE of these laws in each moment, and really creating a life that FLOWS with these laws.  So I was sitting here brainstorming and creating some ways to share my book, STILL In My Mother's Womb, that I had an epiphany about the 6th Spiritual Law of Success - Law of Detachment.  So much is opening up right now.......very grateful for this moment.

Feeling fear in your body?  Listen to this podcast. 

Join me and my friend, Marica for a quick little deep dive into the idea of home.  All while looking for a home.......and we are in it yall!  The highs, lows, and uncertainties.  Anywho, this is a question worth asking yourself periodically. 

The truth is I hadn't spoken to my mother for 7 years.  A long time I know.....  One day, I felt led to give her a call and leave a voicemail saying I love her.  She responded via text; interestingly, the day after my STILL In My Mother's Womb book launch.  A few days later, I sent a voice memo back to her.  This one was quite vulnerable to share yall, so only love and understanding is welcome.  For the both of us.  Thank you in advance.

I met a Soror (oo-ooop!) who is also a Spelman sister.  And I was excited to meet her......AND I noticed a deep insecurity rise up in me.  

After watching an episode of the Handmaid's Tale, I had a realization about vengeance.  Should we explore vengeance more to heal?  Or suppress it (i.e. give it over to the Lord), and rush to forgiveness?

Since the pandemic, I've been writing morning pages (3 pages of free-hand writing; basically journaling) each morning.  I learned about morning pages after reading The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron.  I strongly suggest this book if you feel stuck creatively.  On Christmas Day, my morning pages was more like afternoon pages after being up until 4am...............for good reasons obviously (another story for another day maybe:)  Anyway, I ended up exploring pleasure, manifestation, receiving, and faith.  I decided to record myself reading it with a song in the background that was jamming that night.  The lights were dim.  Incense burning.  It was a whole vibe..............come along for the ride.......... 

My initial reaction after watching, The Woman King.  Was definitely feeling all the feels........

The moment I realized I get to manifest from pleasure, and pleasure gives rise to manifestation - opposite of what I've been taught.  Oh, and I was eating some cashews........lol

A journey that starts with me reflecting on what it means to be a Manifestor (my Human Design aura type) to integrating all of my parts and its link to God's existence, ending on why I need to recommit to a sleep schedule.  

I wonder if exploring where God Lives is the question to explore as opposed to who God Is?
