Think Tank Thursday: This is How We Homeless

This is How We Homeless!


Welcome and welcome back ☀️. Today is Thursday, July 25, 2024. It's another amazing day in paradise 🤩. Merry Christmas in July ⛱️🌊🍦🕶️🩴🦩. It’s Day 10 of my 13 day quest on social media.

I’ve been wanting to talk about nervous system regulation. What I’m realizing is that with all the rain and being sensitive to how it’s affecting those without housing and being among those without housing, I’m struggling to maintain a state of rest and digest.

So instead of trying to jump into explaining and becoming unregulated, I’m going to showcase how Wisdom and I “homeless” in order to regulate. Or to describe it more accurately, so I can regulate my nervous system and he can co-regulate with me. I’ll do this through pictures and videos of some of our adventures.

Contrary to what others might believe, this is the most important thing I could do for us as I work on getting us into stable housing and implement solutions to eliminate homelessness, internally and externally. When I have a regulated nervous system I can have a more peaceful relationship with him and others. This is possible even when they are not regulated.

I can also tap into my executive function when I'm regulated. Remember what I started talking about the other day? When I was talking about the Science of Parenting, I started with talking about executive function. Executive function is for parents, not children. And it can't be accessed if we're in a state of fight, flight, freeze or please.

Flipping through the photos of all the good times we've shared helps me to stay in a state of rest and digest. They make me smile as I reminiscence and savor the memories. For instance, the photo for this post comes from the Carolina Home Show that we received free tickets to attend.

There was a person painting faces for free so Wisdom and I both got our faces done. He was given the opportunity to live up to being a young Black male superhero. He LOVED it so much. It took about 3 days before he was willing to wipe it off.

From what I’ve written, what is something you do to help regulate your nervous system? Need more information? Stay tuned for more posts.

Thank you again for being here. Thank you in advance for liking, commenting and/or sharing. Enjoy the amazing day you're creating 🪄✨. ☮️…

Let's Talk Tuesday: Quantifiable Wins

Quantifiable Wins Welcome and welcome back. It's another amazing day in paradise. Thank you so much for being here whether it is your first time or you're returning. Thank you for your support. This post is inspired by Jimmy Davies of Every.Black . Every few months, because of the influx of new people attending their meetings, he would showcase his story, "A 30 Year Overnight Success". I feel it's time I do something similar.  The title "Quantifiable Wins" I need to attribute to a business consultant named Tiffany. I attended one of her workshops and although I found most of her content and the manner of her delivery not to my tastes, the phrase "quantifiable wins" has stuck. I have many to name and I'm pleased with each and every one of them.    Since I'm meeting people in different areas that don't connect to one another, with each environment I'm introduced to, it's like starting from scratch to get recognized.

Support from Food Revolution Network and... Welcome and welcome back. It's another amazing day in paradise. Thank you so much for being here. Life has been such a whirlwind of emotions and activity lately. And I'm so grateful for that. Some of that has lifted my nervous system to a state of rest and digest. Some of it has knocked my nervous system into fight or flight. All is welcome as part of this incredible journey called Life! Part of this incredible journey has been to received a visible donation and word of support from the Food Revolution Network, specifically Ocean Robbins, CEO. They are supporting the work I'm doing to build Homesteads for the Homeless. This is an incredible honor. You can see it for yourself on the donation page.

Wisdom Wednesday: Someone Called CPS On Me

Someone Called CPS On Me Welcome and welcome back. It’s another amazing day in paradise 🤩. Thank you so much for being here. This is not what I planned for my next blog post. In fact, yesterday I started writing one called “Raleigh First Black Female Mayor”. Because that's what I plan to accomplish this year. You will not find my name listed because I'll be running as a write-in candidate. My treasurer is taking the course now but since I haven't spent any money I don't have to file for my finance committee. There's also this fact that I don't want to run on what I'd like to do. My goal is to run and win based on what I have done and people desiring to see change on the municipal level to support those changes. I'll leave that there for now to address the imagine.  Yes, it’s true. Yesterday afternoon (Tuesday, 8/6/2024) I got a call from a friend who works at Wegmans, where I recently admitted on one of my blog posts that me and my son were panhandling
