The start of the month was promising. The event calendar went up, Black History month revealed to be a revelation that the state of Black America is still in Jim Crowe, and things only changed artificially over the years. The relantless assualt on Palestine with no balance if power has rendered the world with sobering site beholden unto it’s colonizer.
Outside of the everyday shell shock that is the world around, by God”s grace, I still have inspirstions tucked all throughout this post as we journey through this 2024.
The main themes of February, of course rest and relaxation. Also showing up for yourself with divine purpose. This has to be the way foward, because no one, not even Tik Tokers can tell you the time, and the hour, so the best time is now
Love is the theme as well, but think of love as the gift you give yourself. The space, grace, the commitment to your dreams, the consistency, and the work put in.
The space you shouldn’t have beg for, the peace you do desperately deserve, rest in prayer and meditation, lives in the monentum to power forward, with more might in hard days.
Falling in love with the life God gives us us both a bold and revolutionary act. In this life we should take care of ouselves like the plants we love. We get plenty of water, sun, rest and nutrients. We walk foward with a healthy mind, and meditative balance owning the fact without reservation that God is in control. This fact alone keeps the worry lines away, and allows us to stare deep into the unknown of our dreams and explore them again, with new found purpose.
The season is shifting back and fourth, the only thing we know for sure is that Spring comes after Winter. For now we are we are in a season of flux. I have a few ideas for food, style, ambiance and culture.
Food is Medicine, create a routine eating for health!
To eat well is to tell yourself that you find value in yourself. It is to set your day with intention, and create opportunities for success.
How? The gut to brain connection is your whole day. Your mood, wellness, anti stress responders, are all located in the gut. Your ability to have clear thoughts and not rely on vices takes a level of discipline that would only make you stronger in time.
To not eat to much sugar, processed foods, dyes, chemicals, etc, causes a decrease in stress, anxiety, and poor self worth, etc. The world can change just by seeing your body as something to love.
Ambiance, let the decor match your energy!
The decor and or ambiance can set the stage, for that which we call “main character energy. It does not take a lot, just a few touches here and there.
A pillow here, a throw rug there, an antique lantern, cozy throws, and fabric to drape. A few old thrifted portrait and sculpture pieces, old vinyl records, and vintage books that have since gone out of print. I wonderland of tangible things to re-connect with the song in the key of life.
Style in 2 Parts
For the Bold!
For the Sophisticate!
For the Bold in you…
For the Sophisticate in the room!
Style can be upfront or laid back. Whatever your pleasure, show up, and make a statement!

The mood is always for your inspiration as we walk together in this 2024. Thank you all so much for coming through. May God bless and keep you in Christ Jesus!
Until next time!
