I keep making mistakes. I have had to start over at least 10 times. I’m finding new ways to make mistakes.
That said, I have been having a blast. In the past I would have been frustrated and angry and would have quit hours ago.
I understand now that things take time. A lot of time. An inordinate amount of time. Good grief.
I choose to invest in that time. I choose to invest in me. It will take as long as it take.
Nuff said.
I just stopped by to encourage you to keep on keeping on. Makes as many mistakes as required to get things right.

Note: Keep going. You can do it. You will get there in plenty enough time. Relax and enjoy the rest of your day. You got this. So do I. God has us all.
We have become reluctant roommates. We tolerate one another. We fuss with one another.
The one, is forever trying to gain the upper hand, over the other.
There are days, when I raise my hand, in victory. There are other days, when vertigo stands, victoriously, over me. Satisfied.
I used to be terribly discouraged by this. That is no longer true.
The older I grow, the more I understand that limitations do NOT have to limit me.
I can maneuver around them. I can incorporate them into a SUCCESSFUL, JOYFUL, and INSPIRED day.
Life is what WE make it, beloveds. WE choose if we are going to enjoy our day. WE decide if we are going to be a light.
WE determine if we are going to allow chaos to enter and reign in our lives.
Contrary to popular opinion(s), neither Tiktok nor what political party can/does rule our lives, our thoughts and our actions.
WE do that. I don’t say this to lecture. I say this as a reminder, to me first, that we are not some hapless, hopeless dimwits who are being led around by the nose.
Knowing this, we have to have the courage to take the reigns.
Don’t despair over your limitations. You can be, have and do as much, or as little, as you CHOOSE and ACT on. Simple as that.
Currently, vertigo and I are in a death match over who will control the rest of my day. I am going to enjoy my day, regardless.
I just stopped by to encourage someone to keep on keeping on. Starting with me.
I have wanted to start THIS channel for years. And, years. And, years.
I let fear stop me. I let age stop me. I let doubt stop me.
A tornado stopped by and told me to LIVE.
I chose life.
This is my start. I hope it inspires others to move past their fears.
Life is short.
Please let me know in the comments your thoughts. If you start the video, please allow it to play through to help the Algorithm and give it a comment and like. 😎
This is my needle in a haystack. I must leave it there. Yes, chances are slim to none that MY voice will be received, heard, reciprocated.
That said, slim can’t meet none if I walk away, eh?
I stopped ’round to encourage someone to keep putting yourself out there. Someone is waiting just for YOU!
Be encouraged.

Note: Beloveds, I am learning HOW to fight for my dreams, IN REAL TIME. Before, I would have allowed myself to wallow in pity.
I would have castigated myself for hoping. I would have hid in comfort eating.
Now, I allow myself to sit with the disappointment, with the discouragement, with the frustration, with the embarrassment.
Then, I allow that I am one of billions. My needle IS there, though.
I am doing my best to BE a light. Be encouraged. Keep being a light. Someone needs the way lighted home!🤗❤🙏🥰🎯🧱🌍
I went back to making mini motivational videos for Tiktok.
I have enjoyed making them. Yet, I stopped because the Algorithm wasn’t pushing out my content.
Also, the numbers were super low.
Interestingly enough, I found that I could do great numbers by doing nothing other than using a Male’s A1 voice.
I experimented. I even tried making some with my words, with music but no voice over. The success was still minimal.
I asked myself if I would be content forever hiding MY voice just to get noticed for someone else’s.
What’s more important, I asked myself? The attention or sharing ME?
Also, if the words were being SEEN and HEARD, isn’t the message more important than the messenger!
Ah! Great questions. Both can be true.
There is nothing wrong with using what’s available to get our message across.
That said, we also have to be true to ourselves. We have value. We must find the courage to do us until we turn the tide.
Women are not celebrated in the motivational spaces. Folk are used to seeing men hollering epithets and demands into the microphone.
Yes, this form of motivation has it’s place. There is also a place for more quiet reflection. Real talk: I can scream and holler, as necessary, with the best of them.
I have decided to do both. Some of his. Some of mine. My goal is edifying, uplifting and inspiring. So long as the method is based on/in integrity, I am happy trying all kinds of things.
Don’t be dictated by numbers/algorithms, beloveds. March to the beat of your own drum.
Why Can't I Be Loud?!
