Creativity and Serenity
Hi Everyone, I just wanted to let you know that I had posted a blog post on Medium. I wanted to try something different. Anywho, I have a lot of posts written, but I just need to read over them, and I will publish them. For now, please enjoy and reflect on this piece that I have written thus far. I am sure that you’ll find it helpful.:)
Stop searching for that one idea that’ll make you successful. There are different ways to get to your goal; there isn’t just one way. Think about Billionaires; they don’t have one source of income, there are multiple streams of income. Billionaires continue to grow and evolve, so should we. Again, stop putting all of your hopes on one project.
Even if it’s only one idea that is successful, it is ok. Having one victory does not mean stop working at your craft. If your victory brings in income, that means less stress and more time to work on what you love.
It is unnecessary to wear yourself out about one idea. Let thoughts come to you. It is in those quiet moments when ideas will come to you. They are so subtle that you won’t even notice it. Stop and have a moment of clarity. Relax. The thoughts that you want to focus on are re-occurring, they are strong passions, it’ll occur when you are close to your spiritual source.
Your “Genius” will help you map out a plan for your next project, all you need to do is free yourself. We tend to treat ourselves like machines but we aren’t machines, and our ideas aren’t ours to claim (especially the good ones). Acknowledge your source.
Once we stop tiring ourselves by trying to find the next big thing, then we will be able to progress on our creative paths. Let the genius craft you, don’t craft the Genius.

6 Life Changing lessons I have learned from the Armor of God
Hi everyone, I am not going to do a traditional post today instead I am gonna let you in on what is going on in my life right now.
I don’t like having my post already typed the day of posting and that is something that I am trying to slowly get over. I have been struggling with ideas and writing but I have been inspired by the next update.
2. I have been reading The Armour of God Bible Study
This book is by the same Pastor who made War Room. I highly recommend it. It is a very eye-opening read. Going through the Bible study has inspired some topics that I would like to write on this blog, it is very insightful. Pastor Shirer takes us through Ephesians 6 and all of the pieces of armor listed. I will definitely do a blog post on the Bible Study as well when I finish.
3.Freewriting
I have been freewriting some stories. I decided to write the Chronicles of Phoenix like a free write because I had been changing a lot of stuff in the story to get it to my liking. I have also been working on a different story. This story was one that I had put on the back burner but I was drawn to the character so much that I didn’t want to keep it on the backburner any longer. I know that I need to finish my projects that I had started…and I will but I felt like I really needed to get this idea out of my head. Freewriting for me is exploring the ideas within my head and seeing where I can go with it. I enjoy it very much and honestly I really need to do it much more. It is surprising because I like freewriting stories more than anything.
4.Attempting to get through Healing Your Past and Releasing your Future
That book is a heavy read. I am learning a lot from reading the book but it isn’t something that you read on a consistent basis. You take it with chunks, pray, finish the book and then read it again. It is another insightful book, highly recommend it and I am surprised that it isn’t more talked about.
5. Reading The Bible and getting my Spiritual Well-being together
I am starting really slow with reading the Bible. Bible study is helping me become consistent as well as being conscious. I feel great when I eat bananas, read the Bible, Pray, and post. Legit. It is a good day when I do what is essential for me. I have been going chapter by chapter and re-reading chapters until I understand what is going on. The key part is understanding what you are reading and asking God to keep you focused while you read.
That is pretty much it and I enjoyed sharing my update with you. Let me know what is going on in your life or if you are going through the same things. I like hearing comments from Y’all….it keeps me going!

Since it’s Janet’s Birthday let’s recognize her accomplishments.
Janet Jackson’s The Velvet Rope album is one of my favorite albums. It played a big role in my childhood because my mother loves Janet Jackson and we had a copy of the HBO special plus the CD. Both the HBO special and the CD helped me with cultivating my soundscape and visual artistry. The Velvet Rope was sonically ahead of its time and the performances received many accolades but, the most important part of the album is the creative process that Janet went through. This was how Janet freed herself. Through recording this album, Janet was healing from her past.
This album was pivotal to the black community. It inspired many conversations such as domestic violence, STIs, sexual identity and being creatively free. As a young black woman who is very creative, I cherish this album. I want to heal and put myself in my art because of this…

There are two main reasons why this photograph of Jeff Bezos is interesting.
First of all, today’s richest man is working from headquarters located on the same street as a pawn shop, a heroin-needle exchange, and a “porno parlor.” His office, the badly stained carpet, the desk, made out of a door propped up on two-by-fours, all give the impression of the kind of hopelessness that people often encounter whenever they start something new.
The second thing about this photograph is even more intriguing: When this picture was taken, back in 1999, Jeff Bezos was already worth around 9 billion dollars. Yet he worked from that office, drove around in a Honda, and had a terrible sense of fashion.
Success is not easy. Overnight success is so statistically improbable that we might as well think it doesn’t even exist.
The struggle is real. Just imagine in what kind of conditions…
