Resilience Race

I use to believe the race would be given to the quickest. That's not necessarily the whole truth! The race is for the resilient! In order to vacillate between the many facets of life you absolutely have to be resilient. People will try you and with those trials sometimes you have to make a decision about whether or not they will get to the finish line with you. Newsflash...everyone that started the race with you will not make it to the end! You have to drop a few people off along the way either for your sanity or theirs. No matter what...you must remain resilient in order to make it to the finish line.

This weekend's Minnesota Black Author's Expo festivities re-ignited the fire that I let die because I'm so busy helping everyone else get to the finish line as I stand on the sideline cheering. Another one of my blessed curses! I'm always making sure everyone is getting to their next level by any help I can provide, yet I'm not focused on what I need to do to get to my own finish line. Needless to say I'm a go getter and I adore helping others reach their potential; however I also need to recognize my own cheering is needed to reach my finish line. The self care I preach about is also the self
care I must be about!

I delivered a powerful spoken word piece at the Minnesota Black Author's reception the night before the Expo entitled "Let Me School You." After that delivery I was approached by many of the established authors asking if I would be selling MY BOOK OF POETRY at the expo. That resonated in my spirit! Something I have been putting off so very long, felt like "it's time". I have been given the umph I needed to get moving. The spoken "ok" from a group, essentially of strangers, whose craft I respect and feel were sincere solidified what I've wanted to make happen. So with that said...look out 2020! She's coming through winning the race!

I'm back in the race! I'm resilient! I'm restored! I'm ready!
