Been on Hiatus

I came to Denver for a few days, and I have been here for almost two weeks. Working, of course, but at my pace. Sometimes, the energy of the city can be overwhelming. Everyone is in such a hurry. Everything is a fire drill. Everything is magnified. I need a break from time to time. You have to step out of the norm for clarity. I know that I've said this before, but it rings so true each time.

My grandmother said, "I have never seen anybody work so hard." Today, two people commented that, "Rome was not built in a day." So, I think it is time to establish work-life balance starting today. This trip gave me so much perspective.

Dreams

I had a dream last night about my Grandmother. I was supposed to go to Atlanta today for an event, but luckily travel plans were shaky so I booked a flight to Denver. I am on the plane now. I made a vow to visit my family at least one per month. I admit it is becoming more and more difficult to be away from them. I can't wait to take my Grandfather for a walk and to chill with my Grandma. They made me! I know I get some caught up in the matrix and in the daily grind of making it in the big City, but my priorities are straight. Have a great weekend.

Going Back to Denver....

Hey, there. It's a minute. I think I am going to switch the blog over to Wordpress which will enable me to blog more frequently from my Blackberry. I am managing so many different projects and am in major transition. You have not heard from me because I have been working extremely hard. The beginning of the year is the time where I plant my seeds so I can reap the harvest in the Fall. I learned this point from my homeboy, True Master, and it really works!

I am still exercising which will be a constant factor in my life. I have two trainers, take African dance, yoga, play soccer, and lord knows what else depending on my mood.

Djing is going well. I finally found a place to fix my turntables so I can practice at least an hour a day! My PR business is booming. We just got a new client, and I receive business inquiries on a daily basis. I am only as good as I team-and I have a great one! I am blessed to have a group of people who humble themselves to work with me and learn as I learn.

I am headed to Denver to see my family which I will NEVER neglect again because of the industry grind. I can't wait to give my Grandmother a hug! I asked her to fix me some fried chicken and she is. She has spoiled me to death (I'm blessed!)

I also am venturing to Winter Park for the Black Ski Summit. It will be cool to meet new people. That is what life is all about. I am the happiest I have been because I realize that in life..there will be trials and tribulations, but you have to deal with it and face it. I am happy because I am strong enough to deal with it and face it so I'm going to smile everyday and do all the things that I want.

I look forward to my ski vacation. I earned it, and I deserve it. PEACE & BLESSINGS....

It's Bed Time!

My grandfather used to always say it was "bed time" and stomp his foot at the same time. And, I would look at him like he was crazy because it would only be 7:30pm. I miss my grandfather.

He's still here but he has Alzheimer's disease. I am a very affectionate person especially when I love you, and one time, I was giving my grandfather a hug (I just couldn't stop hugging him), and he said, "You better get off of him, before Clara [my grandmother] slapped the shit out of me." You had to be there because it was funny. He has no sense, but he still has sense enough not to let another woman hug him when his wife is around (Hilarious). But, it was also sad because he doesn't remember who I am. We were very close. I remember going into the other room and crying, but I wouldn't let my family see. I never let them see me cry, but I took it very hard. He is wearing on down my grandmother, and I wish I was there to help her. I work so hard because I want to be able to spoil her like she's spoiled me.

On another note: I had a good, relaxing day. I took a Hatha Yoga class. The instructor kept on calling me a "young lady." Everyone in the class was a regular for 20 years plus. I am going to start taking Yoga twice a week. Vinyasa is little bit more rigorous (I want to sweat). I was supposed to go to Greenhouse, but I asked for a rain check. I didn't feel like being around bottle poppers, tonight. Well, I'm off to bed. I have to get up at 7 o'clock. Have a blessed night, everyone. Sweet dreams (dreams do come true)!
