My Birthday Wish Welcome and welcome back! Welcome to me and Wisdom's birthday month of miracles. And yes, it IS another amazing day in paradise.  BUT.... today is not just any amazing day in paradise. I get to celebrate ME on this amazing day in paradise. I entered this world 50 years ago on this day, 25 years after the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was signed.  I just need to say 50 is not as old as it seems. I guess with life expectancy being in the 70s it seems like life is closer to ending than beginning. Not here! I feel like my life is just starting.  I'm declaring 50 as the new 30. Seriously though, it is. At least from the brain development and nervous system perspective. If the prefrontal cortex of the brain does not finish developing until 25 or so, then technically I've only been a mature adult for about 25 years.  I'm giving myself some Love and grace for having made it this far without knowing that until about 2 years ago.  Maybe 50 should be the n

Human Rights Day 2023 Welcome and welcome back! It's another amazing day in paradise. I'm baaaaaack! But then will be gone for 2 weeks. I think that's a schedule I can work with. Today I want to take a moment to write about Human Rights Day 2023. It's 13 days from today. And it's also my 50th birthday. This year commemorates 75 years since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was signed. And the theme is "Dignity, Freedom and Justice For ALL!"  Lately, I've been really reflecting on this idea of "for all". As I consider this particular theme, there really is only one way I see this happening: through brain re-development, reconditioning the subconscious conditioning which will lead to the nervous system being able to regulate in a more healthy fashion. Which will lead to emancipation and liberation "for all"! It really is hard for me to believe this is me some days. All I want to talk about is my BIG 4 (brain development, nervo

The Pre-Script Continued (Sorta) Welcome and welcome back! It's another amazing day in paradise. Thank you so much for being here.  Yesterday I started writing what I thought was going to be the Pre-Script to Dear White Men...;  the first book in the "I Apologize" Series. If this is your first time here please check out this blog post for more information. If you've been waiting for this to continue, please excuse the shift I'm about to tell you about. In the middle of the night I was led to go in an entirely different direction from where I stared, for several reasons.  Welcome to the writing process. Welcome to life living under the guidance of the Spirit. What I wrote yesterday will still be in the book somewhere. But I'm really pleased to introduce you to what I wrote this morning. Your feedback is invited and appreciated.  If you'd like to continue this journey beyond the pre-script and potentially comment throughout the entire writing process, pleas

The Pre-Script Welcome and welcome back. It's another amazing day in paradise. Thank you so much for being here.  I wanted to provide an excerpt from the first letter I'm writing to give you a taste of what's coming. I'm encouraging you to read along with me but I want you to trust what's coming so I'm starting here.  I'm offering incentives to read with me as I write when you contribute to my fundraiser . Depending on how much you offer, you can receive access to read only or read and comment. You can pay to be a part of the experience while I'm writing it or once it's done (but before it gets published in print form). I know I can be loquacious so I'm going to go ahead and jump in. Thank you again for being here! With great pleasure I introduce you to... Dear White Men - The Pre-Script Welcome to The Pre-Script! If I was writing a book, this would be called "Introduction". Since this is written as a letter, I'm calling it The Pre-

The Relationship Between Gratitude & Trust Welcome and welcome back. It's another amazing day in paradise. Thank you so much for being here. For those of you who celebrate, Happy Thanksgiving 2023. I hope it's a day spent just as you like. Over the years I have found I prefer to "hide out" and enjoy the quiet of the day.  There's no rush to be anywhere. I don't have to be around a whole lot of people if I don't want to. I just get to chill. Personally, the quiet moments are the ones I'm most grateful for. I mean, that's because... Let's just say it, with a school aged child the quiet moments are few and far between. Wisdom and I get to be quiet together and not have to focus on anyone else.  I honestly think more people would savor the holidays fully if they didn't feel committed to going places or cooking large meals. I'm grateful I don't feel that way. I know I got that from my mom.  I feel like our motivations are different b

Dear Black Women... Welcome and welcome back! It's another amazing day in paradise. Thank you so much for being here. I'm so excited I get to talk about Black women today. If you don't mind I'm going to be a little bougie and talk about myself. The letter I'm going to write to Black women is not just from me. It's for me. But before I go there can I just share some news? Wait... it's my blog so I give myself permission to do that. Sometimes we have to go through that process, ya know?  We have to give ourselves permission to step into our bigness because our brains were trained to act small. Since we were small in stature, adults thought we were to act small. Now as adults many of us struggle to step into our bigness or don't know how without attempting to step on someone else. Can we take a breath for that one? Whoosa! YEEEEEESSSS!  Right now, I need and want to express my Love for God, for my Savior, for the Holy Spirit and for prophets. Each of these

Dear White Women... Welcome and welcome back! It's another amazing day in paradise. Thank you so much for being here. I'm on a roll this week. I only plan to write one more day but it could go two since it is Thanksgiving Week.  I'm starting to feel compelled to write about gratitude and introduce the Gratitude Groups and Positivity Partners I'll be creating at the beginning of next year once the overwhelm of the holidays ends. We shall see. In the meantime, here I am talking about the letter I'm compelled to write to White women. I gotta be honest, this letter is going to be a challenge to write so I'm grateful I have a couple more months before I start it. I will have to be in a stable living situation and make sure I'm writing from a parasympathetic state of nervous system activation before I address this one. I Love people, all people. Again being honest, White women challenge me the most because I've had the hardest yet the most Loving experiences f

Dear Black Men... Welcome and welcome back! Happy Monday. It's another amazing day in paradise. Thank you so much for being here.  I'm so excited to be talking about this topic today. I haven't written on Monday in quite a while now. And Mondays are my favorite day of the week. So what a great way to start today speaking on the letter I'm going to write to Black men. I have the greatest honor in the world of being the mom and student of a young Black male superhero. I often call him my "man child" because that's what he is physically though not mentally, emotionally or spiritually. I'm working on it. We're working on it.  It's important to understand that with all children but especially my own, I am grooming this beautiful child to be an adult. God willing he will spend many more years as an adult than a child. But it's important to note that everything he is learning now will transition with him to adulthood. So everything I do now has to
