Ep. 23 - Food For Thought

To everyone, especially artists, here is your weekly, witty, inspiration to stay sane in this crazy world. You did it. You made it to another week. May this week show you an increase of abundance, peace and create valueable memories. Last week, I shared with everyone the real reason I do this blog is to remind ANYONE who needs/wants the reminder that now matter how crazy life gets, how crazy this world gets they are still loved by God and there is still room and opportunity for good things like love, success, bliss, amusement, fascination and gratitude.

Last week, I also made the decision to strucure this blog with more tangible, useful information instead of simply sharing personal perspectives and testimonies. I'm one of those people whose love languages is empowerment. When you are a rose that grows from concrete you constantly move through life overcoming people, places and things that want to thwart your growth. It takes a strong will and outside encouragement to keep pressing forward. The golden rule "Do unto others, as you would want them to do unto you" is one of my mantras. So this blog is one of the ways I can express love for others, giving them the encouragement and common sense reminders that I myself enjoy receiving. 

So, don't dismayed but all the outside foolishness. Find something this week that lights you up and shuts out negativity.
I highly suggest dancing (lol). The Spanish word of the week is "Cualquier" AND "Lo Que Sea" which both mean "Whatever".
Whatever in Spanish is such an interesting translation because depending on how you are using "whatever" changes the way you say it. For instance, in Spanish class we learned "Cualquier" which translates to "whichever" because you are nonchalantly choosing between two options. When you would take either option, you would use "cualquier" in a sentence. However, I noticed in REAL WORLD CONVERSATION (lol) I never hear anyone saying "cualquier" (the word I recognize, cause that's how I understand Spanish. I take the words I understand and piece together what people are saying) outside classroom convos. So today I looked up other translations of "whatever" in Spanish and got overwhelmed and realized WHY my Spanish is GHETTO AS HELL! I learned there is also "Cualquiera" (which I'm still not clear on when its appropriate to use that one) and "Lo Que Sea" and more! "Lo Que Sea" is the most common way English speakers use "Whatever". When you are trying to say "People be out here doing WHATEVER cause they just do anything" you would use "Lo Que Sea". I find this all interesting and will further learn more about these words for "Whatever" this week. I invite you to share insight to it if you are a Spanish-speaker and also indulge in learning something new to add to your language toolbox if you are not a Spanish-Speaker. Below is a video about my first time in Mexico and it features some of my ghetto spanish lol.

Lastly, I received an email from an associate today and it included a POWERFUL quote from one of my favorite comedians Dick Gregory. The quote is "Love is very dangerous if you just have love and don't have the ability to be loveable." This quote floored me AND motivated me to put out this blog and serve this community. This quote also had me examining the ways I give and receive love. Love is awesome and comes in MANY FORMS. The LOVE of a hobby for example can be very fulfilling. One of the ways we can stay sane in this crazy world is to live in such a way that invites more love IN. When we do that, we can create more, achieve more, become healthier phyiscally and build worthwhile partnerships. When we do these things, we will be so busy laughing at all the crazy shit this world be doing that we will remain untouched by it. So your weekly, witty inspo to stay sane in this crazy world and love more anyway and respond to world's craziness with Cualquier, Lo Que Sea... "Whatever the fuck whatever" or "I love that for you" lol.

Today is November 3rd, and before I end this, I wanted to share some historic things that took place on this date. No matter WHAT the world is doing... there is still room to make history, transmute negativity into productivity and invent new things!
On today's date - General Electric Company, most commonly known as GE the lightbulb manufacturing company and original owner of The CBS Network was formed on November 3, 1892. Today is also "National Sandwich Day" created to honor the birth of John Montagu who invented the sandwhich to keep his hands clean while playing cards and eating lol. Who said you cannot have the BEST of BOTH WORLDS? 

You Got This Boo!!
