Happy Friday (Saturday) Night (Morning) Love and Light to you! Welcome to another winning week of awesome!
WE had ourselves a ball Thursday night. A brown girl superhero had a drank (well, several) whilst some really amaze-balls souls and I liberated my second novel, which (you know by now) also happens to be the second book in The Stellar Trilogy– AAAND we did so with so much LOVE, I’m still pinching myself. We all got to see Book 2: Awake for the first time, at the same time. The unveiling did not disappoint. Man, my first words were– “OMG it looks like a real book!” I tell no lies.
I was surrounded by dear friends, family and framily. Mike Scip’s loft was utterly gorgeous, I had not one, but TWO world renowned chefs who prepared some phenomenal food–sweet potato mac, scallop ceviche, this amaze-balls quinoa salad served in Belgian endive, and spicy turkey meatballs over rosemary polenta… Gaaaaah! Plus, that Captain Morgan White Rum Christal brought for that out of this world rum punch was thabomb.com. My outfit was a gift from my ace boon, my jewels were a vision find from H&M, my breathtaking face beat happened courtesy of artist extraordinaire,Toni Hardman (http://www.gofundme.com/9chh9o) –who is part of my official glam squad, FYI. We could end this entire post there actually… … … … It was truly a bomb ass house party with a purpose because not only did we liberate Book 2 with a champagne toast, we also raised some cash for the E. Steven Collins Memorial Scholarship. Woop!
Let me tell you something. I don’t care who you think you are; when your dream starts to manifest in really cool ways, you get awfully impressed by the big things AND the seemingly teeny things. Everything starts to carry the same miraculous weight in your experience. Why? Because the process is way cool and you should be impressed. It is a miracle. You know how many folk in this world still have plenty of dream living to do (and haven’t gotten around to it yet tho)?! Lawd. Living your dream out loud and in real life is focking impressive. Go on with your bad self.
I’ll add here that It’s 5:09 on Saturday morning and I’m typing this in the emergency room at St. Mary’s Hospital, where my dad is in a hospital bed adjacent to where I’m sitting. This is the third time in 2 months. No worries, he’ll be okay. But this is the reason why our Friday Night Love and Light is a touch late. There’s a lot going on. I was actually going to take this week off. I was so sensory overload this morning from all the love and joy and tears of celebrating, I was like, newsletter today? Meh. But when I knew I was making a 12:30AM Emergency Room run, something in my spirit told me to bring my laptop with and so here we are. You know what my dad told me when we first got here, random, loopy and all? “Did I tell you how proud I am of you? I don’t know many people who wrote one book, but you wrote two. You’re living one of my dreams…” *tears*
Which leads me to the point of this here post. Life is gonna happen. One day you’re toasting and celebrating a major accomplishment and the next day you’re called to support someone who needs all the light you come with to help rekindle their lamp. One day you think you have it all figured out, and the next you’re tending your wounds. Life is gonna happen. The idea is that when you have vision, you see past the lumps and bumps to the bigger picture, yes? Plus, you are never a lone. Never. If you have a need, I promise the universe wants it met. Test that one for yourself.
We’re all sharing this planet to be and give and do and explore and LOVE. Live Our Vision Everyday. We’re here to LOVE in all the authentic ways we already are. We’re ALL here to be each other’s angels. Most of us just forgot. But we already are. Once you are something, the only thing keeping you from experiencing the fullness of it is you (in the way). WE’re already connected to the divine we’re designed to fulfill on this planet #YO. Our task is simply (and most complicatedly) to let it. Unfold it. Accept it. Be it.
The LOVE is Real, I tell you! The LOVE is real, Because LOVE is ALL. If you can remember that, you’re closer. Pray for my family will you? My dad most specifically. I’m always praying for you and yours…
ANNNDDD, don’t forget to get you a copy of #TheStellarTrilogy, Book 2: Awake. We’re on a mission to a million. I can’t do it without you! :*
ANNNNDDD, Book 1 has a new cover too! #ComeGetFree
So. That’s what I learned this week. I do hope it helps something. Thank you for reading this (!!!) Remember always to #RuleYoSelf with L.O.V.E. Have a Happy Awesome Weekend! Love you madly!
