Overcome Fear and Control Your Anger
I, for most of the time, keep on contemplating whether there exists a way for the readers, who read my blog, to become so strong and fierce from the inside that they themselves can overcome Fear and control their Anger, that too in just seconds.

Lessons from the Inside of a Broken Mirror
Lessons from the Inside of a Broken Mirror – 1 Obituary “Now, start writing. You’ve got twenty minutes.” The instructions were clear: write your own obituary. Write it as someone else, remembering you, the way that you want to be remembered. It felt dirty, morbid, as if we had been asked to dig our own grave. Most of us just sat there, looking around in shock. The shock-and-awe factor is probably what they were counting on. The threat of death was not real… well, at least not now, not in this classroom anyway. I closed my eyes, turned inward, did some quick breath work and a short visualization practice. How do I want to be remembered when I’m gone? I started by doubling my age, if I were to die in thirty years… my dreams achieved, my life in order, my family and friends proud to know me. Then I started writing. I almost didn’t even realize that I’d started at first. The words just flowed. I wrote two neat paragraphs from the witness’s perspective, set thirty years in the future. I read over and few times and made my corrections. I looked around the room to see that most people were still writing, so I took that opportunity to contemplate and compare what that obituary would be like if I were to die today. I noted several changes that I needed to make, assuming that I make it the sixty, and jotted them down on the inside of the back cover of my notebook. Some of these I could change today, the longest, toughest changes, might take a couple of years at most, the sooner the better…

Ringing in 2021 with a Productive Morning Ritual
There’s something to be said about a little calm and a little routine. A lot of us, especially in the younger generation, can’t stand the idea of a routine. Our lives are chaos and, though we probably won’t admit it, we kinda like it that way. But whether you’re a thriving entrepreneur, a struggling student, a stay-at-home mom, or a writer trying to finish their manuscript that the world just isn’t ready for, finding your “ritual” can make a world of difference.

Dear us.
Hey girl! It’s a new year, it’s 2021! How are you feeling about this new year.? We have been through a lot haven’t we? The tragedy following Kobe Bryant, Covid-19, job losses, unpaid rent, loss of family members and so much more. We made it right, didn’t we make it through tho.? Ok ok we barely made it through, pulling every strand of hair out of our heads during this lock down. Ohhh the lock down, shaking my head. It was cool at first and then turned into a nightmare. We cried so many times because we didn’t know whether we were coming or going. We started meditating half way through every thing and jumping through hoops and over hurdles during our healing process. We have to keep telling ourselves that this is our year. We are letting go of the past situations and creating our future. Reflect! Manifest! Redirect! We can not let ourselves fall back into our ways. We have to learn hurt and pain when we feel it.

Moving forward finally
Its that time of year again time for self improvements, letting go of old habits in which do not serve you, or learning something new. So 2020 left us some what a stagnant energy in more ways than one so needless to say I have been thirsty to embark on new goals. 2020 will always have such a bad rep, But was it really that bad? I say this in the most genuine way, its just misunderstood. Im taking it as a time I reflected on myself, my ambitions, values and well had some rest. Boo hoo life was put on pause from our fast paced lives working at a shit job, unhappy, thirsting for more, picking up bad habits just to escape this life we made for ourselves, and never forgiving ourselves for not making it better. Its a double edged sword. i'm moving to a whole new state across country, I will be going to school for a degree and something I find interesting for a while. I loved my career, 16 years strong and I just need something different, I need a reboot. Right now I am bracing myself for this huge change in life, I am aligning myself or at least searching where I can align myself with my goals. I am stepping out of my comfort zone. I needed to be in my comfort zone during 2020 because I don't think I would have made it to 2021 somewhat sane. I feel secure and ready to accomplish some major goals, this would never be possible if it had not been for my support system (my best friends), my thirst(had lots of rest in 2020). Change in my life requires taking paths unknown. Now this can be accomplished by taking that "danger" "do not enter" caution tape, the one you cannot see very far down due to the lack of light and thick fog. I don't mean this in the literal sense but, to embark on something different. most people and myself always tend to take that sunny, clear ,singing birds path. There is nothing wrong with this path, if you plan to stay where you are at in life for a while, but if you need a change, you have to do something to create different possibilities by taking the path unknown. I have always considered myself a bit of a rebel my motto is "I doos what I want". So much that I have been ballsy enough to raise my fist and tell the universe ,god, source, or creator those exact words. Did I do what I want? Yes, but under the terms that are not my own. I do not know if this move is the right move or even if its getting closer to aligning myself to my goals. I do know this, iI do know it is not going to just fall in my lap in my comfort zone because it would have already done so. I know the universe does not want me to sit and wait for it either. if I did that then the universe would cause some catastrophic things to happen to push me out of my comfort zone and i do not want that either. I do not have to really know anything just experience life learn from them and listen to those subtle I mean very subtle signs that the universe gives me. I am done working for anybody but myself, I feel like I am ready for school I feel like I am ready for a new career, and I am worthy of freedom.

3 Affirmations for your New Year
New year, new me, as the saying goes. As cheesy as it might seem , it’s a nice sentiment to carry into New Year’s Eve and beyond. Given the crappy year that was 2020, bringing some calm, positive energy into 2021 may be a huge challenge. Something small that keeps me going are brief affirmations I can repeat at any time of day. For all your anxieties and worries, it can be nice to have those little phrases to latch on to. They can be that slight push you need to keep pushing forward and go tackle those anxieties and get through them. I have three that have stuck with me through the years, and now seems like the right time to pass them on.

Here, into 2021
I heard that 2020 was the year of the butterfly. That prospect left me with mixed feelings. I often spent time in my life watching butterflies and even trying to follow after a few, so I remember all that had gained, usually bitter disappointment. However, that said, the gentle manner of the butterfly is soothing. The calm of the butterfly brings a peacefulness and the weather in which to watch and enjoy butterflies usually rolls in on the exiting April and into May all the way through September. I hope it means the butterfly has landed instead. That the year will be marked with beauty and transformation rather than the somewhat gut wrenching dance and escape of flittering erratic motions of the Butterfly. The Papillion as the French call it. Or Le papillon which I find interesting because I don't believe butterflies are usually thought of as masculine. There is a 2002 film called Le Papillion or The butterfly but I am reminded of the original film with Dustin Hoffman and starring Steve McQueen. McQueen has several run ins with captures and was ultimate banished to a prison colony on an island which made me think naturally of Napoleon on banishment. Hoffman being slightly diminutive made me think they were possibly eluding to some real life historical person who had been cast off to imprisonment on an island only to find the mild fate of Napoleon living out his days in exile to Elba, a Mediterranean Island. Seems pretty luxurious for the tyrannical emporor to be sent to an island. For all the self proclaimed greatness and the seeming boldness he turned quiet meek in the retreat to Elba. I find the movie Papillion must be historical and real. And the man, who, mistaken in identity, was cast off to Elba also naturally finding Napoleon there confined he would let the island keep himself. Hoffmann character remarked about the craziness of that man's proposal. The man fashioned an escape and kept off the extremely high island to dodge his way through the jagged rocky waters. The once extremely bold Napoleon sat ineffectually, to meek to escape Elba's confinement while the daring boldness of the Papillion, who the French must have known through lore about him, as the only one to have ever escape the treacherous waters of Elba, had finally earned him freedom. Maybe in fact Napoleon himself had been hunting Papillion and then in a twist was cast, in like, to the same island, yet the Papillion won freedom. Maybe the Papillion told his own story to the people and nonone was the wiser about it. It was said he was never heard from again. I find the butterfly feminine which is possibly a sexist point of view but, all in all, most likely agree with me about that. They are quite a beautiful transformation. From the somewhat ugly, pudgy, worm-like caterpillar to the vibrant butterfly. From crawling as manner of travel to the freedom of flight. The message of the butterfly, what we can see from watching it, is beauty. And it brings that beauty freely to the world. The world needs a transformation anyway. I am certain Hoffman was, perhaps unaware, playing the role of the exiled Napoleon. Napoleon said "An army marches on its stomach". Also, "Victory belongs to the most perservering." He also said, "Glory is fleeting but obscurity is forever." And "Until you spread your wings you'll have no idea how far you can fly." Bonaparte said, "If you want a thing done well do it yourself." And "Impossible is a word found in the dictionary of fools." All of those things were then challenged to him when the Papillion met him on the island and then escaped. When asked by Papillion (McQueen) 'What about escape?' Hoffman said 'Why it is impossible.' So, naturally, the Papillion, who had eluded French forces and Napoleon himself and had been captured once before, was really a man butterfly and it was only fitting that Bonaparte should find defeat and the lousy taste of his own words, or rather the simple fact that he wasn't as great a person as the Papillion when he was face to face with the very man he had spoken so derogatory and degrading about and that he wondered why he wasn't dead yet. That telling moment is when Hoffman exclaimed something like why I think that man is God when Papillion lept from atop the island to freedom. Napoleon, when fighting his enemy, had often said does he think he's God, well he's not God and various like things in his pursuit as Self proclaimed emporor of France. Here, in the year of the butterfly, all the transition of more utopian values and that better world are within reach. We finally see the best victories being won as we iron out the painful wrinkles of history and uphold the ideals we shouldn't have ever lost as human beings. Progress is the focal point and 2021 the firm grounds and foundation to move forward with. So it is good advice to remember don't get too lax, don't let your humanity slip away so that we don't fall into bad habits that lose the ground of the progress we make. Then we won't flirt with change or flirt with growth like a butterfly dances on the wind.

Informal letter to me
This is a writing experience I am doing for the very first time. It's a writing exercise from a writing suggestion I got from one of my favorite apps. I want to explore talking to myself as if I'm a friend or an advisor. It will feel strange and hilarious at times. Hear me out a bit. It's like an inside view inside my head. I promise to be honest and true.
