I can't share all that I have been taught (that's classified information), but I can say I am damn sure grateful. #thinkingoutloud

You can find my faith all through my artistry. I just needed to go on my own journey to find my way home. I know my Nanny and Grandma are comforted. I learned my faith from them. #thinkingoutloud

I've sat to build with so many folks from so many different beliefs. Being open helped me to identify intersections and recognize the breadth of spirituality. #thinkingoutloud

It helped me to decide what roots my faith outside of intention, history, agenda, or propaganda. It also helped me to grow in my respect and appreciation for the beliefs of others. #thinkingoutloud

Search for you. Define for you. Root and ground yourself. You will need it as you navigate this world. #thinkingoutloud

This world needs our light, our fire, our magic. Walk in it, own it, and never let anyone make you doubt it! #thinkingoutloud

My mantra is "write free, speak free, live free," but that is with an understanding of the process it takes to be able to do so. It is a rigorous exploration of self and an owning of truth. #thinkingoutloud

It ain't easy but dammit isn't it worth it? #thinkingoutloud

I dance to Muzak. I dance on elevators, stores, and in restaurants. I sing too. I dance on sidewalks walking down the street. I dance in conversations with people. Each moment a mini celebration of another breath I get to take. #thinkingoutloud

Preparing to move and moving is all activity. It means you understand that you need to move smart and when you move, you and yours gone eat! #thinkingoutloud

we often find ourselves as benchmarks in other people's journeys. A imprint on their spirit. Some of them value what we leave with them and what we offered no matter how it ended. We have learned to do the same with them. #thinkingoutloud

Then there are those moments when you are band-aid, glue, cough medicine, or caulk. Desired, necessary, or intriguing. #thinkingoutloud

There are times when you are entertainment. Circus, movie, art exhibit, or dinner theatre. #thinkingoutloud

These moments and times aren't valued. Often, they become reason you are kept distant, left behind, or immortalized as folklore. #thinkingoutloud

That is a foolish illusion. You were beautiful in those moments. You were wonderful in those times. You were a magnificent work in progress. #thinkingoutloud
