Sisters. Beach.

I went to the beach today with V and Tchise. It was sister healing. We stared into the ocean and up at the sky and sent wishes up to the Universe and we are sure God heard. Thank God for sisters. For water, healing water. We put our feet in the water tonight and it was warm. The sand was soft and the air was clean. I am thankful for the tribe I have found. My tribe of healers and listeners, of thinkers and artists, of mothers and friends. I am thankful for this day.

Gratitude

I am thankful for another day. Thankful for my son, friends and family. Thankful for life. Thankful that the clouds are lifting. Getting out of the house today. My body needs to move. I need fresh air and people and bookstores.

Love yourself today. Love your whole self.

Also I'm sending a prayer for a friend in hospice today. Life is short. Again, love your whole self.

Clouds pass

And sometimes the clouds come. And I am thankful for my blessings and the clouds land anyway. Foggy and thick in my head. Heavy. They make me sad for reasons I don't know. Can't control. So I pray. I write. I blog. I type. I clean the bathroom. I lie my body down longer than I should. I should move. I should run. I don't. I am still.

And even through the clouds I am thankful. Thankful for waking up this morning. Thankful for my son, for my friends and family. For love. For another birthday yesterday. Thankful for even the clouds. They pass. They do. These too will go away.

Happy

Thank you Nishati Vibrations for allowing me to feature at Thursday Night Vibes last night. I had a good time. Thank you to everyone who was there and listened and said kind words to me. I love you. I do.

Gratitude

It's 5:12 pm on Sunday and I am feeling thankful. Thankful because I am getting over a nasty cold and thankful that I am home safe and happy with my son. I am thankful for easy. For getting out of bed for the first time in days. Thankful for live Marcus Miller and his jazz band in the village today. For a walk to the store. For fruit and water and love. I am thankful for feeling thankful.

WomanPreach. St. Louis. Red Stories.

Just got back from performing at a WomanPreach event in St. Louis this morning. Resting up and preparing for Red Stories tonight. Nailah Porter and Curtis Robertson, Jr. are featured. Busy day scheduled for tomorrow. I must plan some time to rest in soon. I need a massage. More than that I need a pedicure. I'm thankful that I'm taking time to plan for my personal needs instead of ignoring them as usual. I haven't written in this blog in some time and just wanted to take a moment to let these words out. That's it for now, excited about the show tonight.
