So I had a really good Mother's day, despite the fact that I woke up late and went to the wrong place in the city and missed the Mother's Day lunch cruise...lol.. only me... luckily, my mom, lil sis and I were able to pick up the cruise in NJ. It was a good time. I love hanging out with my mom and sis, they are extensions of me and their love is real.
Anywhoo, my mother had a great time as I did too except for the fact I kind of was hungover from the night before. I don't think she noticed though, but then again mom's notice everything......

How To Get Over Someone or Something???
“Do what you feel until you don’t feel the need to do it anymore”
- At some point you’ll want to stop on your own and it won’t be forced, it will be easy. Flow with the current, not against it. People always look out for their own best interests, therefore when you come to realize in your own time that something or someone is not good for you or doesn’t fit into your life, you can stop and let it go and not miss what isn’t meant to be. - JWEEZY

Here We Go....
Last week this time I was in Miami, sipping on a Call A Cab eating a chicken quesedilla at Wet Willies... time is such a damn illusion. Its so fleeting, so transient. One moment your on the beach and the next your back in your cubicle.... sigh

The Law of Least Effort
Nature’s intelligence functions with effortless ease . . . with carefreeness, harmony, and love. And when we harness the forces of harmony, joy, and love, we create success and good fortune with effortless ease.
I will put the Law of Least Effort into effect by making a commitment to take the following steps:
1. I will practice Acceptance. Today I will accept people, situations, circumstances, and events as they occur. I will know that this moment is as it should be, because the whole universe is as it should be. I will not struggle against the whole universe by struggling against this moment. My acceptance is total and complete. I accept things as they are this moment, not as I wish they were.
2. Having accepted things as they are, I will take Responsibility for my situation and for all those events I see as problems. I know that taking responsibility means not blaming anyone or anything for my situation (and this includes myself). I also know that every problem is an opportunity in disguise, and this alertness to opportunities allows me to take this moment and transform it into a greater benefit.
3. Today my awareness will remain established in Defenselessness. I will relinquish the need to defend my point of view. I will feel no need to convince or persuade others to accept my point of view. I will remain open to all points of view and not be rigidly attached to any one of them.

Deep Ish... This is one of the Seven Spiritual Laws of Success written by Deepak Chopra. Seriously the book takes like 1hr to read but in it holds what I believe is the true path to happiness and success. I would encourage everyone to read it. Imagine if we truly accepted things they way they were. Stop fighting against a situation or moment, it only fights you back. Acceptance defeats resistance......

Let Me Get Deep For A Minute...
Right now in South Africa, men are committing corrective rapes against lesbians. What the hell is corrective about rape? It shouldn't even be in the same sentence.
Anyway, gangs of men are going around raping lesbians, with the thought that they will become straight. It supposedly shows them what they are missing. Dick, I guess is the best thing since white bread (whatever). It's HORRIBLE. Africa not just South Africa, needs to get it together, I'm sorry. They are over there raping women so easily.
Rape is wrong in any country and victimizers should be punished.
Check out this video and see how deep it is:

Happy BirthMonth To ME!!!
So I know its been like forever since I blogged (and lets not talk about Sha's lack of blogging) but here I am........owww
My birthday was earlier this month (Feb 6th) to be exact. And no lie I started celebrating it the end of January and it ended last night.
First event was the ski trip. 11 black people, 1 fly ass cabin, maddd bottles of liquor, a outdoor heated pool and jacuzzi..... do you even have to ask? It was amazinggggg. We as a group decided that we need to go back to this at least once a year.
The Ski Cabin
Highlights of the trips: Playing drunk hide and go seek in the house 4am, the dance contest where my team for sure won, the freestyle battles where I got eathered by this epic line "fake Adidas sweats with the tight shirt"- lmao , the football game in the heated outdoor pool, when it started snowing while we were in the outside jacuzzi. Aww man- sooo many memories.
The next weekend which was my actual bday weekend, I went to a reggae spot with the bf, it was a celebration for Bob Marley. Bob & I were born on the same day, I often joke that I'm the reincarnation of him.. That Friday (BdAY DAY) i was off work and decided to take it ez, went to a hibachi restaurant with the bf and then to a posh bar in the city , Flatiron lounge. Cocktails had me niceee. Then went home and drank bubbly till I fell asleep..lol
Next day went out to eat with the mom and went to see In the Heights on Broadway. Every year my mom takes me to see a Broadway play for a birthday, we have been doing that since I was 16. So this year made it the 10th year...awwww
After that my friends and I got together and chilled in my media room. Got GIFTS , ate pizza , DRANK and made our way to the clizzub. BUT thats when the bday celebration took a turn. We got pulled over for my friend having dark tints on her window, then the punk ass cop claimed to smell liquor in the car, next thing I know they are hauling off my homie in the police van arresting her. Can you say WTF! So basically the rest of the weekend was spent trying to bust her out of jail. Monday morn she got out and luckily she didn't get charged with a DUI or anything serious but we def. all learned a valuable lesson from that one.
That drama had my friends and I re-do my bday celebration, so last nite the homies and I went out again. We had fun, there were a few mishaps again but f' it , I rung in my 26th bday in style. More things happened but this post is mad long and I'm getting bored.....lol

Love Stuck
Love , Emotions, Relationships - so weird, so unexplainable, so not easy!
The only law is the law of the heart
Follow your heart, be free
Experience what life has for you
Most importantly, be honest
If your relationship is real,
It will bear the strain and
deepen
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Or what about being inexplicably drawn to someone for no rhyme or reason. Ever have that feeling?

I think we are drawn to the light that we can recognize in each
other, shining in its own unique way.
Every person is unique, therefore
every relationship is unique.
We are magnetically drawn to others who we
sense are on a similar frequency to ourselves. We feel a kinship with them, and
I think somewhere deep down, being able to relate to someone awakens the memory of Oneness, and we long to return to this Oneness again.

Some Ignorant Ish....
Sometimes I wish I wasn't so damn responsible...
like you know the saying of "those who know better do better"...well god dammit, i don't want to know better, I don't want to know shit, I want to live my life and spend like there ain't no tomorrow...
If I didn't know better, I would forgo paying my mortgage and buy my dream car, a range...
like I could sleep and eat in that car, who needs an apartment or house or 401K?
But no, here I am being financially responsible....driving in lil ole Betsy, reliable but not a RANGE!
This financially responsible shit better pay off 4 realz for all the sacrifices my ego is making right now... 4 realz...and its not just my ego but all the other responsibilities that come with being so damn responsible...
strangely though, something tells me that it is...
“ Ego is the biggest enemy of humans. ” Rig Veda quotes

New Year New Ish- To Give Up or Not?
Damn Damn Damn
How long has it been
a couple months I think...ok maybe just one...that Sha or I wrote
we have been going through major drama with re-developing our website. Every time we try to get our website re-done (www.empressmag.com) something happens, a web designer disappears or disappoints. I can't even count the times we thought we were close to getting somewhere, to the next level, and bam nothing happens, our dreams are shattered.
Honestly, sometimes I just want to give up. How many times are you supposed to try something before shit gives? How many times can you take disappointment? What the hell is the point?
But something keeps us going, not sure what it is because we seem to have been running in a circle for a while now, but running in circles beats laying down and giving up.... at least we're in shape right?
WHEN Empress reaches its full potential, Sha and I will have a story to tell. We won't give up...we can't.... we came this far and what would be the point for all this hard work, money & time spent.
Viva La Empress....
