Wow!  I’m totally devastated that none other than Nipsey Hussle, California rapper and owner of Marathon Clothing, was gunned down tonight.  As a Cali born and raised individual, I take great pride in where I come from and it hurts to see such an influencer such as himself, taken so early at the young age of 33.  Notably a son, father and businessman, Nipsey impacted so many lives and made it his business to leave his mark in this world.  Rising from gang activity as a youth and transforming his life to become a solid rapper and influential pillar in his community, Nip developed a love for technology and community development.  He found strength in returning to his roots to honor artistic achievements amongst African Americans. 
 
My heart goes out to his family, kids and the love of his life, Lauren London.  There are no words to express the pain and anguish felt at this time.  My hope is that we can all rise together for greater good and cease destructive measures.  A community is in mourning and California lost a solid one tonight.
 
My motto I stand by is to do ALL things in love…he DID that!  No one knows the time or place.  The best way to bring about change is through impact.  Ermias Asghedom, affectionately known as Nipsey Hussle, is our very own Eritrean king.  Although his life was cut short, he fulfilled his earthly mission and now transcends on to do greater work from heaven.  RIH Nip, job well done!  The Most High has the final say so…

Man…..listen!!!! These last few days have been so AMAZINGGGGG!!!  When you spend time by yourself and reflect, you learn so much in solitude.  I have every reason to be so grateful, even when things are imperfect.  It’s important to appreciate where you are at this very moment.  We all need moments of reflection to be reminded that greatness lies within each and every one of us.  Remember to put yourself first and recognize that all things work out in the end.  No matter what you are facing, everything is just fine…all is well.  Be patient with the person that you see in the mirror. You matter more than anything.  Patience is a virtue.  Greatness cannot be rushed, as we all are being polished and shined to be our best version.  I can’t stress how important self-care is to your well-being.  Just a simple thank you to the Most High and not asking for anything in return is sometimes all that is required.  As you go about your day, be blessed, strong and resilient.  We are all doing the best we can!  As a result, greatness is growth, birthed from doing your work on self!  Remember...you are under an open heaven!

Love is a beautiful thing, especially when your soul connects at a higher level.  What was once thought to be coincidences…the universe is aligning paths.  This thang is telepathic; something like ESP.  The more resistance applied, the stronger the emotion gets.  A message can be sent straight to you mentally, quicker than overnight shipping.  This connection is free and flowing.  Right in the middle is peace and comfort, sprinkled with vulnerability.  Love Jones.  Right now, you are missed.  The attraction is deep and pounding.  What’s meant to be takes time; a slow burn.  No rush.  Intentional.  Passion and climactic energy is building.  Slow.  Balanced.  Inner.  Outer.  Harmony.  Divine Connection.

You thought this one was like the others.  It hit you unexpectedly and before you knew it, you were caught up in the rapture.  You soon realized this one was different.  Like an onion, so many layers to pull back.  She smells sweet.  You can smell her scent anywhere in its vicinity.  Involuntarily without notice, you can’t help but be in her presence.  It feels like comfort and ease, specifically, natural and organic.  You are drawn in and it scares every part of your being.  It’s too late to turn back now.  You wonder how this will play out.  Reality has become an abundance of fantasies playing over repeatedly in your psyche.  It’s complicated, yet you’re aware all your senses are awakened and on high alert.  You also know the feelings are mutual.  Soul connection.  Undeniable.  Every day it gets harder because the challenge of working to mask the emotions gets extremely intense.  The thrill of it all excites you.  This becomes your mission; watching your prey and learning all intricacies that make it what it is.  Emotional, physical and spiritual needs are met without a question.  For once in your life, you are analyzing your current conundrum based on your heart’s desires.  It feels right and you’re at the point to where you don’t care about the opinions of others.  Your wall is cracking and what you once were able to control is slowly crumbling.  Only time will tell….Nirvana.
