Life Advice

Don't make excuses for shitty people. You can't put a flower in an asshole and call it a vase.

If someone shows you who they are the first time around, believe them. This lesson has taken me so long to finally learn but I’m really glad I came to my senses about a lot of people this past year and will be damned if I let them back into my life. I’m not going to sit around and try to rationalize why they’re like this.

THAT IS AN ASSHOLE.

All I can do is keep my vibration high and radiating strong and everyone else who isn’t what I stand for which leads me to…

the best life advice from a 39ยฝ year old

Today marks 39ยฝ revolutions around the ๐ŸŒž for me.

I really can’t think of a better way to commemorate this momentous occasion other than to share the best life advice that will keep me winning well into my 40s. ๐ŸŒป

Without further ado, I present to you the following nuggets of wisdom:

There is nothing more important than feeling good

Truth be told, I took today off yesterday. ๐Ÿ™ˆ It was because I found myself slowing down as I was completing my free association exercise on the 4th. I probably needed a day (or dayS) off sooner but just kept putting it off. My free association was mainly about the things that I wanted to accomplish and buy in January 2023.

You’d think that today would be the day that I get cracking on these things but not really. Instead, I did what was best for me.ย I bought myself a ticket to Abraham’s in-person workshop, a mani/pedi, and renewed my domains, I’m also leisurely updating my blog because it feels good.

Do I care if anyone’s gonna read it?

Not really.

Why?

There is no law of assertion in an attraction-based universe

SEO can fuck itself because I know my people will eventually find me.

I attract what I radiate.

I zig while the naysayers zag.

When it feels like you’re about to be blessed, shut up

This explains why I haven’t been caring too much about social media these days. I find that creation is more fun when I’m the one witnessing the Universe orchestrate perfect circumstances and people to lead me to the next and the next.

I’m a creative genius and everything that I’ve manifested since quarantine has been done in stealth mode. I’m done with making announcements because I’m done with the peanut gallery or worst yet, my perceptions of what the peanut gallery thinks. If you’re close to me, maybe I’ll share a thing or two but for the most part, I’m about being comfortable these days.

Perhaps the most radical piece of advice I have for myself these days is about food.

Drumroll, please… Read More

there is no practice life

Read that title again. โœ‹๐Ÿ›‘

It has been a long while since I’ve updated and I think it’s fear of not being perfect enough. Here’s the funny thing โ€”

The moment I don’t give a rip about SEO and doing what I’m supposed to do marketing-wise, I get the most engagement. Lighthouse lifestyle is a prime example. Damn right, it’s not my job to save anyone. Read that post if you want to know why. 

Today, I’m getting on my soap-box to talk about how the time is now.

2020 has caused me to put lot into vibrational escrow. Don’t want this, must want that. I hate this, I must love that. This person is shitty, I put an equally amazing opposing version of them inside the vortex. โšก

I’ve done a much better job at showing up authentically in many areas of my life this year. As 2021 draws to a close, it’s time to lean even moar in the direction of what I do want because after all, there is no practice life.

If I can have it any way I want…

lighthouse lifestyle

I called it months ago.ย 

2021 continues to be the Year of the Level Up.ย 

I realize it’s been months since my last post but I promise you, it has been time well-spent. I’ve been letting go of the struggle and doing what feels fun, purposeful, and elevating.ย 

As a result, I feel like I’ve finally opened myself up to receiving from the Universe. โœจ A couple of weeks ago, I stumbled upon a really awesome Instagram post about lighthouses. Here we go:

โ€œLighthouses donโ€™t go running all over an island looking for boats to save; they just stand there shining.โ€ โ€“ Anne Lamott

my greatest power = being my true self

The pandemic has helped me rediscover that being my true self = my greatest power. โšก

Besides the obvious because-it-feels-better, it’s also because things *work out even better than I could ever imagine* when I’m being myself.

Let’s ๐ŸŒฎ ’bout it. :):) Read More

letting freedom ring & setting myself free

July 4th is a day I celebrate freedom and here’s my favorite Independence Day one-liner. ๐Ÿ˜‚

I see Celsius and raise you degrees of #FREEDOM!

This year, July 4th has a special meaning because I’ve decided to pursue forgiveness. 

This all started because my coach called me out for not having done “the homework” as I talked about about my wins this week on our call this morning. I shared my wins with the coaching group but I was angry. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

It’s true.

I haven’t done “the work” because I just can’t be motivated to work on the computer when I’m chained to it for 40 hours a week. ๐Ÿ™ˆ

I realize what a cop out excuse this is as I’m typing this out now but I have my reasons for not wanting to do “the work”. 

I think it’s because addressing this stuff hurts. Read More

all is well (part II)

Appreciation is the highest vibration ๐Ÿ’•

I’d like to start the second installment of my *all is well* series off by expressing my sincere and heartfelt appreciation to all those who have made my quarantine life easier these past few weeks.

I’d like to start with the healthcare workers, nurses, doctors, hospital personnel, police officers, and everyone who is on the front lines playing a critical role in controlling the pandemic. Thank you for working hard to keep all of us safe. โœจ

I’d also like to thank all the amazing people I had the opportunity to rendezvous with these past few weeks outside. Special shout out to the staff at my local Target for manning the shopping carts with an associate who sanitizes shopping carts for all customers who walk inside. Last Saturday, I went out for my weekly grocery run there and my experience was nothing short of memorable in the best way possible. I was greeted several times by several people in different sections of the store right down to the cashier who remembered me from several visits ago. She asked me, “Are you the one who bought an air fryer a while back?” I was so surprised she remembered me I told her: Yes, that’s me! How are you doing? I don’t remember the rest of the conversation but I do remember walking out of the store feeling like there’s a shred of light that’s glimmering through all of this. Thank you for doing your part to make me feel safe and welcomed while I’m gathering my supplies for the week. ๐Ÿ’—

Last but not least, I’d like to thank the Amazon drivers who dropped off all my items with care. I actually got a text from a driver named Michael asking me where it’s safe to drop off my package. But that’s not all, all of my supplements, protein bars, and weights have arrived in perfect condition. Thank you for dropping all of my items with care. 

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything all of you do to allow me to stay at home. ๐Ÿ’– Read More

all is well (part I)

Even with the recent turn of world events, I’d still like to think that all is well. โšก

I’m not a fan of regurgitating stories unless I can tell them in a way that’s beneficial. My coming to terms with the initial shock of the global pandemic became a brilliant jumping-off point for my glorious expansion.

My fabulous backstory

Three weekends ago, I text one of my mentors at the incubator because I knew he lived alone in Chicago and wanted to see how he was doing. (This was after working remotely for four days straight and hearing about the madness that was already happening in the city on the news.) He told me he just saw two guys getting into a fight over the last ribeye at Trader Joe’s just now. I swear, you don’t make this stuff up! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ

Later that Saturday night, I walked into my local Target store and saw huge merchandise gaps everywhere. Empty meat, dairy, and milk sections. I’ve never seen anything like it. My first thought was: PANDEMONIUM. HAS. STRUCK. THE. SUBURBS. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ Read More

the coast is clear

Oh haiiiii, me again. ๐Ÿ˜Š

I felt compelled to write this post because like this man sitting on the rock here, I’m ready to set sail on my new adventure. ๐ŸŒŠ

This brings me to a time where I interviewed Grandma Peggy for an assignment in undergrad. I had to interview someone who’s two generations older than me and write it up. Of course, I knew *exactly* what I wanted to hear Grandma talk about: her escape from the Viet Cong regime in the late 70s. Read more

leaping in faith

See what I did there? ๐Ÿ˜‹

I figured today is as great a day as any to put out an update. I promise, it’ll be more than once every 4 years. Creating is in my lifeblood and it’s my dream to inspire through the clarity of my example.

I’ve experienced a lot of *clarifying-trast* (or clarifying crap, lol) over the past 4+ months and I’m relieved that I’ve started to let the Wellness Stream flow back into my experience. I can’t be too loud about things *just yet* but I do want to talk about the lessons that I’ve learned along the way that will help me *take the leap* WHEN the time comes. Here we go: Read More
