I think EVERYONE entered 2021 a bit fragile & spiky so I honestly did my best to not take anything too personally & approached every situation (business & personal) with Love. Apologised quickly if I was wrong & when I felt hurt by a situation I chose to remain quiet, prayed my usual prayer for “Peace of Mind, Clarity of Purpose, The Strength to Keep Going” & asked the question “What would Love do?” many many times. I listened in the silence, rested regularly & invariably an answer was provided sometimes by the morning but most times within a few days. The positive outcomes, beautiful moments & successes of choosing Love are too numerous to list but I left 2021 knowing with full certainty that THIS is the way I want to live my life forever! Thank you endlessly to the handful of Earth Angels that showed me love & gave me room to grow. You’ll never fully know the depth of my appreciation for your kindness ♥️
I’m going a step further this year & formally announcing that I’ll only be engaging with situations & people that approach me with Love too. I understand the extent to which we are all going through “IT” but ANYTHING that doesn’t feel like it comes from a place of Love can respectfully go in search of sex & travel🚪
Can I encourage YOU if you’re reading this to Lead with Love because we’re all still a bit fragile & spiky? You don’t have to know what a person is going through to treat them with kindness & respect. The remedy is Love. Have A Beautiful 2022 Babe ♥️ #WalkByFaithNotBySight

#Brixton is breaking my heart right now but I know it’s so we can pick up the pieces & put it back together again better than we’ve ever been. For the children. For the babies who haven’t been born yet and for a future free of domination by ANYONE. In an already broken Britain where Her constituents are misled about the most fundamental aspects of how they came to be “great”, the police did not protect us when we got here, so we developed our own codes to protect ourselves. As a consequence we protect those among us that do the greatest harm. The amount of people upset by “that scene” in Lovers Rock was telling. Everyone wants our history told in a shiny Hollywood way but you KNOW that movie system wasn’t built to tell our stories. Talk the tings & tell YOUR story. It’s time to face the truth of the things that happened within our Black communities as we struggled for secure - if not equal - footing in a society that required us to feel insecure every step of the way. No one wants to “take the blame” for the terrible things that occurred because we didn’t have the language to even question our conditioning. After all, hasn’t it always been that way? Well, no it hasn’t, and all that’s happening now is about to change things for the better. Stop protecting predators. Leave no stone unturned even if what you find beneath it is your complicity. As the language, definitions & understanding of what constitutes abuse evolves, do your best to understand where we’ve got it (& done it) wrong in the past. Be brave. For the babies. For a future we may never get to see. Let these fires rage and burn out the worst among us. And, as we heal we’d do well not to conflate Positive with Passive. Love is a Force to be reckoned with. This is a reckoning. 🖤
Break My Heart Properly /Instead of all these little cracks / Instead of this prolonged attack
Break My Heart Properly \ So that I may lay this headstone \ And make space inside my home
Break My Heart Properly / Fully & in entirety / Do IT / Truthfully
Break My Heart Properly \ Blow the gaslight out you keep burning at my window \ Not another chink, another splinter of glass
Break My Heart Properly / Then I’ll pick up the pieces at last
Break My Heart Properly \ Consider it an honest favour to me \ Kill it, mash it up, leave it for dead
Break My Heart Properly \ Duppy \ Sanitize the surfaces of the spirit you’ve left - You touched everything.
