It's a wrap

Naw. I ain't sick.
I just can't do it.
There's lead in my body,
there's no way to move it.

My will has no voice.
This must be something divine.
Decisions trumped by God.
Man can't get me "in line".

Try to push, try to shove,
but I just won't budge.
Mental images of it done
end up blurred and fuzzed.

Maybe logic can chage me.
If I don't work...
Ain't no money.
Plus, there's people that rely on me.

Nope. I ain't doing it.
I'm just that fed up.
Can't make no excuses.
It's a wrap - fuck this job.

Standing Tall

I'm turning into one of them
Never realized I reached the point of no return
I won't waver, my esteem of self is solid and firm
I am magnificently stoic
I've already paid my dues
When the wind blows, my leaves barely rustle
My roots stretch deep and wide in the soil
No longer compelled to explain myself
Nor make excuses for the way I feel
Call me strict, but cannot deny my real
I walk with authority
No one can deny my worth
Body and mind developed and ready to give birth
Take me or leave me,
Cause I can stand alone
My nurturing spirit undeniable
I'm a safe place for growth and nourishment
I provide shade to the earth
And although I'll never look back
I can look down and around
Elevating those that care to reach where I'm at

Turning the Phone Off

Phew. It's finally over. This week was tough.


Saturday was a day full of love. It started out grueling. I was supposed to go to the Oprah audition early in the morning, but ended up oversleeping due to the lack of sleep I had the night before. I still woke up super early to get ready for the day. I was terribly disappointed when none of my peoples was picking up the phone and my boyfriend told me he had something else to do in the morning. It made me want to cry and I was super irritated. In the end, everyone came through for me. Although everybody was late, they made it and we had a great presence for the event. The truth is, I was filled with love from my team and for the first time in a long time, I truly feel like I'm part of a great team situation and I'm not doing all the work myself. Still feel alone alot and don't know how to appoint things properly, but I do have a team. Special shouts to Ma, Jason, Cori, Joe, Trey, Dion, Anthony, Cortez, Nick, and Ook for showing me true love and helping out.

A-Town Day wasn't really what I expected. It was a festival of Health Awareness with minimal health booths. There were 3 stages of music with music blaring and tons of kids running around not really engaging in the health aspect of the event. I'm still pleased at the effort and hope to assist in helping them for next year. I think it's important to engage the hip hop generation to the benefits of good health. I am proud that we succeeded in our first vending experience and honestly can't wait for the next ones. I had two tables. One for Lovoi.org, and one for WTFOnlineRadio. Although the traffic wasn't thick, we met some incredible people that I hope to work further with. I'm terribly excited for the growth of these two companies.

After A-Town Day I finally got to see Altered perform live at the Vinyl. They were incredible! I'ma post their video soon for you to see, cause they are really talented. They sound just like their CD. I really believe I can take them to the next level.

With that being said, I'm turning off my phone today. Don't want to speak to anybody. Just want to relax!!!
