May DWC 2025 Day 1 - Cruel

The air in the room seems to change as she looks down at the pocket-watch. Inside was a image of her and her mother. Fingers wrap around the copper piece as eyes close. Each day since that night it had been returned to her, memories of when it had been taken came rushing in like a wave in the sea.

Each night since her *Ghost* found her, those very nightmares wreaked havoc on her, making it impossible to sleep. She woke up screaming, begging. Cold sweat causing her to shiver despite the heat of the night.

He was dead now. Poisoned as she had requested. She had hoped that the news of his death would bring peace to her. "It's finished. Poisoned. I gave him a small enough dose where he suffered for hours, as requested. The body will not be found."

That night changed her. She had felt torn as guilt ate away at her, bit by bit in the part she played, but there was also an inner peace. She kept telling herself that it had to be done. Gone was the power he held over her.

She had never wished death upon anyone before. How did one cope with the guilt that ate away at them? She could not talk to anyone about what she had done. Not with out risk. The threat on her life if she ever spoke of that meeting assured that.

In the weeks that had passed since then, that guilt slowly eased. Each time she looked at the pocket watch reminded her why she had done it. Not only for herself, but her mother and best friend. And those she had grown to care for over the past two years.

She walks over and sets the pocket watch inside the box she kept locked away in her dresser and closes the lid. Walking out of her bedroom, she makes her way to the porch. She tucks her legs close as she looks up at the night sky.

The shadows no longer causes her heart to beat faster or sweat to break out on her skin. No longer will her past affect her life. Those who had tortured her was now dead. And that brought on another wave of inner peace. Now she could get on with her life with out fear.

Now she can heal.

Taking Time to Heal: A Personal Reflection

Tomorrow’s stream won’t be happening. I’ve got to step away from the screen, from the noise, and take a moment to breathe in a different way. I’m heading out to visit my dad’s resting place. It’s something I haven’t done in a while, and I’ve been avoiding it. Maybe “avoiding” isn’t the right word—more like “not being strong enough.” You get it, right? Sometimes you just need to give yourself the space to feel what you feel, and right now, that’s a lot.

Ramadan, for my family, is always tough. It’s a mix of emotions we try to juggle every year, and this time, it feels heavier than usual. You see, my dad passed away right after Ramadan, during Eid. So every year, right around the time we should be celebrating, we’re reminded of that absence, that empty chair at the table. It’s like the pain gets amplified, and while the rest of the world is filled with joy and gratitude, we’re just trying to hold it together.

Talking to my mom over the phone today, I could hear it in her voice. She was holding back tears too. It’s hard not to. Every visit to my dad’s grave is a reminder of what we’ve lost, and no matter how much time passes, it always hits like a wave.

This year, I’m taking a pause. I need this break. I’ll be away from everything for a bit, spending some quiet time with my mom. We’re going to stay with my sister for a while after Ramadan, just to be with each other, to heal in the only way we know how. Sometimes you just need that- time with family, time to reflect, time to let the grief flow and make its way through you.

I’m sharing this with you guys because sometimes it’s important to remember that it’s okay to take a step back. It’s okay to grieve. It’s okay to feel heavy. It’s okay to not be okay. And it's okay to take time to heal, whether it's with your family, or alone, or however it comes to you.

So, I’ll see you when I see you. I’ll be back when the time feels right, but for now, I’ve got to do this for me, for my family, and for the memory of my dad. Peace, love, and all the things that make us human

Book Baby 8 update.....oh where to start....

The photo above is Book Baby 8..well as far as I have got with it for now. My original aspiration was to have it written and ready for release on 29 February 2024 but then “real life” got in the way and that’s not now going to happen. As well as the two notebooks that make up about 40% of the first draft (best guesstimate), I have typed up most of that content. I’ll be open and honest- I haven’t…

Go team! Butch was rescued by @laanimalrescue who once again came through! This is yet another rescue I am a fan of. I posted a video of Butch a while back. I have never seen a dog leak so much poo or shoot poop out when he coughed. No dog deserves to land in a shelter. However, it goes for Butch… I am happy it won’t end with him behind metal bars and on concrete floors. I look forward to hearing about Butch’s journey. And I trust he is in very caring and capable hands. Repost from @laanimalrescue • Butch is safe! He was on borrowed time and we had to give him a chance! When I picked him up on Monday I really wanted to post his freedom announcement right then but seeing the condition he was in broke my heart and challenged my spirit. He’s going to require a lot of vet care, time and love! PLEASE DONATE to help BUTCH. ❤️🐾 Right now the plan is to work on getting him healthy (skin and digestive system) and then we’ll schedule the neuter and mass removal on his tail. He got antibiotics for skin infection, allergy shot, blood panel, fecal test, skin scrape, X-rays, medicated bath, and meds for his soft poop. This guy has not had an easy life! It’s so incredibly sad that people neglect animals and then discard them like trash. Leaving him tied to a pole? Really?! L A Animal Rescue is a non-profit 501(c)3 animal rescue run by volunteers & your donations. We currently care for over 250 domestic and farm animals between our rescue ranch and foster network.

I had this book sitting on the shelf for about two years. I was so traumatized by my last relationship that I didn’t want to see or hear anything about love or relationships. Let alone a spiritual Union after the demon I just encountered 🙄 *splashes Florida water* Now that I’ve read it, I wish I did sooner...like as early as a teenager sooner. This western romance/sex driven type of approach to relationships is why most of us are either living in misery or incessantly breaking up from toxic, trauma filled relationships, situationships or marriages. There’s so much brokenness out there that it’s so difficult to even spot a healthy relationship. Just lots of single mothers and men without a purpose. This book is for anyone who wants to enter into or build a healthy, sacred union. We have to return to our ancient traditions and bun up dem western fukry 🔥 #Sankofa #timetoheal #healthyrelationships #spiritualunion #sacredunion #afrocentricguide #raunneferamen (at Kingston, Jamaica) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFm7kC3Bzq8/?igshid=1m47jb103vyi1

Time is not the main thing, it's the only thing.

It's not about having time, it's about making time. It's not about prioritising your schedule, its about scheduling your priorities.

It's not about setting priorities, your priorities are going to change with time anyways, it's about knowing them.

Having too many top priorities is only equivalent to having no priorities at all.

Remember what you prioritize defines your life.

TIME FOR CHANGE

Today I had a little bit of a moment where I felt sorry for my current life situation. Getting upset over my crappy job and missing being in nature. I can feel myself crave to see more green and to live closer to nature. I can also feel a craving to heal myself from inside and out. I am tired of that familiar feeling of "Why did this happen to me?" but mostly I'm tired of not doing anything about it. I have accepted all that has "Happened" to me because I feel in my soul that it was preparing me for the greatness that has yet to come. I need to accept that everything has a divine timing and that everything happens for a reason. I spent a lot of my time actively trying to not live my life simply because I had a lot of pain that I was not letting myself feel. I have spent so much of my time regretting things that I did and did not do as a teenager. Looking back I am almost embarrassed by what I used to call "Life". Literally consuming my life with movies and trying to be like the actresses. I spent so much time not giving a shit about the person that I was. All I did was change who I was in order to be exactly like the actresses I thought were amazing. People I didn't even know. I have held onto so much from my past that I feel like I have almost blocked out a lot of what happened. I have just held onto the pain that is deep within me. I was blessed with a gift of singing and I suppressed that gift because of my irrational thoughts of not being good enough. I was always so hard on myself because I never knew how to express my thoughts. Never knew how to project my feelings into a song. It took me almost 30 years to realize how unique of a person that I truly am. I have made the decision that I am going to be the best version of myself that I can be. I want to inspire others to do the same. To have the insight to recognize when something needs to change and to have the courage to do something about it. This is the beginning of something beautiful.

I thought I could heal myself by finding someone new... turns out there were deeper cuts that needed to heal first.
