Hi everyone. I’m sharing my self project with the community here. This year, as a New Year’s resolution, I resolved to start doing pitch meetings with at least family and friends about a dream idea. In short, I want to create a summer living experience for my kids, nieces, nephews and the children of friends and acquaintances. It’s easy to think of it as an away summer camp and that wouldn’t be wrong but it wouldn’t be completely accurate. I envision something with foundations of deepening guided education, spirit, connection to family and cohort, and more. I envision this being placed on the campus of Piney Woods School bc I would also want to elevate other Black institutions with this. Thoughts? Let’s discuss.

Yoooo! My therapist hit me with what if you thought of grief as a celebration? I thought, that's dumb, and leaned in a little closer. The idea is that the one who transitioned left the best parts of themselves with me, and took the best parts of me with them. Still sitting with this Question: if you thought of grief this way, what might that look like for you in your life? How does it change your perspective?

What was one win for you this week? What bought you joy this week? My win was going live yesterday. My reminder is that you don't have to be great to start, but you do have to start to be great. Mu joy was being with the horses. It really is therapeutic. What about you? Write your answers in the comments.

I was supposed to drive to Chicago yesterday to celebrate my wife’s grandmother’s 90th birthday. But I got sick, so sick that even though I kept pushing, my body said, "Rest." While starting the drive, I asked myself what would i tell my friends to do, and immediately it was, "go home and rest. Killing yourself doesn't show support or loyalty." I even called a friend to help me make the decision, because I thought, as long as I just got there. And in that moment, I realized, choosing myself was the greatest act of love I could offer. The hardest decisions, sometimes, are the ones that let us heal. Rest is not weakness; it is the foundation for everything we do. So today, I choose rest, and I know tomorrow, I’ll be stronger. If you’re ever on the edge of a hard decision, choose yourself first, because your wellness is supports everything you do. #WellnessIsJustice #RestIsPower #ChooseYourself #SelfCareFirst #HardChoices
