Hmmmm this quarantine has been hitting differently. Yes, there is danger outside our front doors, but we are participating to minimize the impact of this virus. So while we wait for this to be over, why wait to resume our journey? When we can take action towards goals and projects. I am tired of waiting. I have been waiting most of my conscience life. I have been waiting to get slimmer, waiting to get successful, waiting for things to blow over, and when I feel I get a break, I feel like I am falling behind on everything. For years I have lived in the future or in the past. My presence was hardly in the present. I would revisit situations that were already in my rear view mirror. I would create future scenarios or predicted situations that were irrational, sending me into an anxious state. This habit would send me on painful spirals.   I am so lucky that with help I have been able to pull myself into the present. Sometimes easier than other times, but I still manage to do so. To

Guys! I am not going to lie, I have been a real hot mess lately. When I am a mess and feel anxious and overwhelmed I write. Writing gives me a sense of control in a world full of chaos, and boy! Shit has definitely hit the fan. Last Friday when y’all didn’t hear from me, I was preparing for 3 exams. They are before Spring Break which makes me want to call them my midterm exams. While I am on my 10th cup of coffee at 1am, the world is burning. We have boomers buying all the toilet paper, we have Karens stocking up on essential oils, and we have people treating coughs and sneezes like the new school shooters. It is cray cray.

I get phone calls and text messages saying; “get this,” “get that before it runs out,” “you are not taking this seriously.” All of it is disrupting my vibe.   I don’t want to write this t

It’s okay to not be okay. Remember that. Last week’s post, I talked about the importance of reflection and hydration. I did not want to get into what you might see; if it was your blessings or if life was manhandling you, and not in a good way. There are times when you are simply having a hard day. I mean everyone has those days. But I do remember at points in my life, during intense times, some friends and family members would   tell me to not be sad. It would drive me insane, because It made me feel bad about having a bad day. How crazy is that feeling! You are there in your feelings and then you get a negative feeling about your feelings. Humans are a trip!   I am here to support you and tell you to cry it out honey! You are allowed to have a shit day. There is absolutely no control about what happens to you. All I can tell you is to wipe your tears and deal with what you can, and what you have in front of you. I struggle with this. I want to control everything and control
