“Say baby, can I be your slave?
I’ve got to admit girl, your the shit girl
And I am digging you like a grave
Now do they call you daughter to the Spinning Pulsar
Or maybe Queen of 10,000 Moons, Sister to the distant yet
Rising star
Is your name Yemaya? Oh hell nah, it’s got to be Oshun”
It is vital for me to keep up with my morning ritual:
Lukewarm alkaline water
Loose tea
Bowl of fresh fruit
Incense or sage
Music
Prayer
Write
Meditate
Yoga
Setting my intentions
Being present
Being grateful
My morning ritual helps set my moon for the day. I wake up 1.5 to 2 hours before the time needed to get ready for work. I enjoy this moment with myself and with the Most High every day. I may not be able to control what occurs outside of me, but I most definitely can control my emotions.
As long as we are still on this Earth, we owe it to ourselves and those who are no longer with us to be GREAT! We owe it to our communities to be financially supportive. We owe it to ourselves and our ancestors to go back to our African spirituality. Yes, we are magical and they fear us. Our spirituality is so powerful even some of us fear to read into it.
What is happening and has been happening to us for years is heartbreaking and depressing. However, I’m using this to push myself even harder. My success in all areas in my life will make a difference.
We all are in this war together and we all have unique strengths to fight it together. I truly believe in us. Believing is what keeps me going. Believing is what keeps my spirit alive. Believing is what makes me think of solutions to beat these savages. Believing is what makes me love us more every single day. Believing is what keeps me sane.
Hey beautiful Souls – It’s been awhile! A lot has been going on in my life. I needed some time to gather my thoughts and recharge (I will definitely write a separate “update” post). In the meantime, I wanted to share some photos from a photo shoot. These images have been sitting in my computer since April! Not cool Dom!
