I was open for you,
I let you in,
Take what you need,
At least leave some for me.

Lean in and take a breath,
Allow yourself to be present.

Life is filled with choices. We make decisions every day. We try to find communities and ourselves in everything that we do. Society is about labels and beliefs. What we enjoy, what we consume, what we don’t like, and many more.
I always appreciated that people are different and not all the same. For example I love technology and the growth & innovation within it, but I necessarily dont talk about it on the regular because I am around a ton of fashion and lifestyle type people, that cares about fashion and health. But still they are my best friends. They don’t have to love what I love and still support me, and I don’t have to be in their community to know they are a good person and have their own ideas.
I say that to say, don’t be afraid to talk to new people and share your thoughts, ideas, and works with them. It makes the world bigger and more fuller, when we do.

We need to expand our reach of our time. We can tend to lock into tunnel vision now and then, but when your net is not wide enough, you may not catch the right amount of fish. Yes, you want to catch enough fish, not all. So cast your net just right, diversify.

As we push ourselves to school, to work, and to personal, we get tired. I know I am far deep into it. Maintaining a schedule with a 9-5, production career, the gym, family, and running a small business, it’s draining. They say at this point in life, if you can afford it, hire out and have someone take a few things off your belt.
I have a few days off coming up for a big celebration that’s not even planned yet. I wonder even how I am going to pull this off. This is the 3rd anniversary of “Letting Go.”. When you carry a burden for so long it does things to your mind and body. Ha Ha, you can call it the wear and tear. As I am writing this I am instantly saying to myself go to the spa. Book a spa day the first day you are off.
As I carry on, another addition is that I haven’t been to the movies in maybe over a year, I need to add that to the list. I know the perfect movie to see as well.
Adding going to movies to the list.
Okay, that’s all I have for today. I hope you are all well. I hope to bring back Spoken Word Thursday very soon to my Thursday posts. I have some topics to get off my chest.
What’s a spotlight memory or action that happened in your life this week?
Drop a comment or link to it, so I can check it out.

Life is always going, we collect stuff, and it’s hard to let go of stuff. For me, I have had way too much I built and haven’t let go because I am careful, I had never had stuff, and I actually really appreciated the stuff I got. Material things are definitely not my source of value, but it is something I have obtained and has now become clutter.
We are marketed and targeted to, to shopping, eat, travel, improve and develop. We ideally have the choice but we need to mental weight to stick our values.
The clutter I really want to reduce in my life is time stuffing, the rat race feeling, and also anything that take me away when not needed from family, my vision statement and values/mission statement.
In short, I use everything. I am versatile and open. Whether in DMs, X (twitter), Pinterest, Youtube, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, I am free to communicate. I love to interact in comments, video chats, emails and writing to the world to listen as I talk, and they talk and I listen.
The world is open, World Wide Web, let the communication going. My main places to talk is Email, WordPress, Discord, YouTube, Instagram, those are my main communication platform.
To remember the mission, is to know you can see the mission accomplished. You have to dream it and see it come to life. My mission is being a freely creative and happy person. I am don’t need to win all battles, but I should be present to compete, to reflect and to accept that comes afterwards.
I just want to be financially free, and able to explore more, of what is unknown. With that, giveth back to someone else aiming to achieve the same.
Wow, the countdown is real. The anticipation of a new year. The build-up is so wild. The conversations I shared, the people I met, the photos I took and didn’t take—the list is huge. All of this was happening, and I was happy. I mean, I had some bad days, trust me.
I always lost my vision; I almost lost a leg. But I am happy for my vision and ability to walk. 2023 was so real, as it really lost a lot of people. I saw a lot of people suffering. I saw a lot of people blocking their own blessings. I was so confused, but I could understand that life is tough.
The 5-6 soccer games I went to were an amazing feeling; to the highly focused bonding time I had with my brother and mother made the good shine a bit brighter. The simple things were the biggest part of 2023. Oh man, I was tested, but I stuck it out according to the plan I had. I had to be present—more present than I have ever been—and supportive. I was really challenged. I like a good challenge, but this was hard but rewarding. I don’t know if people can be happy with that. Oh yea, I blogged and wrote on my website the entire year, like every day. I know it’s not the 31st yet, but in a calendar year, 365 days. Completed. It’s now legendary; it took 12–13 years to complete, but look at God. wow.
Planning
Commitment
Appreciation
No Comprising Self
Investing
Relentless Learning
Family
Communication
Value
I broke some records this year and started some very important new habits. I have a whole post for this. Click here.
A short version of milestones:
– Invested into Stock more
– Planned a few vacations
– Celebrated myself more instead of just saying I knew I could do it. I did it, and respected that I really done it well for myself.
– Posted 365 days on my blog.
– Passed “515 days” writing.
– Hit my Fitness Goal on my Apple Watch for “583 Days” straight. The biggest streak of my life.
2023 was tough, but I hang on in there. As the world was spinning out of control, I held my ground. I could pretty up words more, but I don’t want or need to. I made the best of every little grain I was given.
Let me know your thoughts.
What words stood out for you in 2023?
