What would you do? What are you doing!


One of the most powerful things I've read. A reminder, my friends, be the change you want to see.

✨How you choose to show up now will define and dictate our collective future. Your voice and actions are that important✨ . What kind of world do you want to live in? . What current systems are you passionate about changing forever? . What rights and injustices are you willing to fight for? . What will you say to your kids when they ask you what you did during this time to create change? . I ask because we are at a vital tipping point. . History has already been made with the world wide #BlackLivesMatter movement. With all 50 U.S states and 18 countries in protest demanding change, we are living through the largest civil rights movement in human history. . We have the momentum now to truly make some huge shifts. But we can’t take our foot off the gas. It’s not over yet. The dismantling of old paradigms has just begun and we get to be part of the solution. . As a soon to be mother, there is NO WAY I’m going to sit here quietly and do nothing to protect the rights and liberties of the black community and all people. . The world I dream of for our son, and all future generations, is one of equality, justice, freedom, compassion, and hope. It’s our responsibility to make that happen NOW. . We are the leaders we have been waiting for. Now is the time to act in all the ways we can. And that looks different for everyone. We all have our unique roles to play. . For more resources and information on how you can help, go to my IG stories. I’m sharing a ton of links and accounts to learn more about systemic racism in the U.S and how you can help the black community right now ❤️✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿🌍

Driving along in Kirkland , home of the modern yuppie, I’m passed by a new Mercedes. Lovely, silver, shiny, new, bling-bling; a part of me loaded with insecurity twinges while I purr along in my Toyota. Why? How come this is a metric of my self-esteem? Am I being unfair to myself, being upset by this train of thought and it’s influence? Consider, please, how much this viewpoint is drilled into us. Look at how often this imagery gets pushed into our faces, and how long that’s been going on. It shouldn’t surprise me, really, that I sometimes feel this way. Though my conscious values oppose this, the lingering thread of this programming has threads into the depths psyche.

Pitfalls of distraction

With great ease, I get sucked into random distractions. This frustrates me no end. Actually, the worst past of the feeling isn't due to the lingering tasks. I end up feeling distracted, fragmented and worn; I hate that sensation. I love the feeling of moving forward, accomplishing goals with a direction and focus. Of course, I adore helping people, especially those I care about. The right balance, oh how I long for thee!
