thought of the day

sometimes you got to know when to let go of trying to fit into a circle when you know deep down you are a square. Sometimes you gotta know and really feel when what you want is not necessarily what you need. Sometimes you go to let go to see if you fall and when you do who will be there to kiss your bruises away. Sometimes you hang on to something, some place, some job, some person you have outgrown afraid of being alone..........but u will be ok. the sun still shines even when we are mad at the world.....

I think someone out there needs to know this. As for me. I am feeling present in my life. And holding onto the things I love .............hoping they love me back

" ......truth serum....’

the truth is i am scared. annoyed. excited. nervous. Open. Closed.impatient. hopeful and aware that a brighter future is awaiting me. I have been  mAKING GREAT LEAPS and bounds towards my goal of finally leaving Boston. I mean seriously its not like I am even from here...I can reside whereever I please. I don't have roots firmly sealed to the concrete jungle that this is..

I know ...my friends ask me whY WHY i have been here soooooooo LOng...sooooo many of them leaving to conquer other lands...truth is/./ for me this...this Boston is the longest place I have lived. Growing up though my life was for the most part grand, going to the BEST private schools, etc...vacationing all over the world, moving every so often to live in other countries following my father, a brilliant man who cannot sit still. yet who contributes much to educating the future, etc.....i yearned for stillness. Time to actually make and develop friendships ....and Boston has done that for me. Great people live here, tlaneted amazing, teachers, musicians and more..and I am grateful but I am leaving soon.There i said it . wrote it so will do it. Thats the truth. Truth is tooo am going nuts w/ out seeing my honey. Distance is annoying. But love is strong. And I wait , counting time and living my own song till our paths cross........

he always says "soon come" but damn its not soon enough/

truth is i could really use a hug right now. Rambling.......

blessings unfold....
Current mood: thoughtful

for some reason i have not been in the mood to write. too busy living, loving, dreaming, planning, hoping, running, eating, laughing, making music, being me. happy.I am invigorated. I have found something to believe in again. LOVE. possibility.

I am embarking on taking the plunge and living my life out loud. I tell my students to follow their passions while sometimes closeting mine. I tell them to embrace their quirks when sometimes mine annoy me. But thats what makes me unique. And the fact that I have friends and family who love me tremendously speaks to the reminder that I am wonderful, I am God's CHILD.

I am humbled and feel blessed to LIVE another day.I took a chance about 4 week ago. Tried something different and found a wonderful person who has changed me. Inspired me to create. To reach. To believe. I want to tell that person thank you. You are the water that quenched my deserted soul.

And so now I ask the universe once again for the means and the ability to move to some other where,  a place where I can plant new roots, blosom. The air doesn't seem to fresh where I am anymore. I ask the universe to give me the working situation that amplifies my gifts, that increases my wealth, that puts in a warmer climate, a place where I am surrounded by support, creativity and  LOVE.  I am confident as with everything that the desires of my heart are indeed possible and i am indeed worthy.

i hope that whoevers' eyes grace this page, that you might be liberated to follow your path....

..." NY, NY...................."

So i was in NY this week-end for a quick trip with multiple layers of experiences and meaning. I love BROOKLYN..can i say that? I def would live there in a heartbeat.......had a good time w/ my best friends Fifie and Rosie, T and Celene. Man, do i have the best friends!!! And wait I saw my brother Omekongo which was also a treat. If you don't know his work, y'all better check out www.omekongo.com. and while you are at in stop by and drop me a line on www.u-meleni.com

  We went to this spot called SPUTNIK for this event called MAJINGA...lets just say that the ancestral spirit took over when these brothers played the Conga's over soulful house grooves......me and T lots our minds and represented for the MOtherland for sure!!! And did i mention i hardly got any sleep.! Downstairs was mostly dancehall & Hip HOp( both oldskool) that I could tolerate for a little while coz I was in the mood for house. .....can I just say that NY has some fine men!!!

MOving on...saturday had an audition for this acting role I would love to have. More details later.Went well and feel I did a great job will know in a week. Had brunch at CAFE SHANE again was happy w/ the ambiance, food etc...all in all had a great time until I returned home and had an accident. But thankfully no-one was hurt, the car had minimal damage ( just a flat) but we spun around 360 degrees twice was scary! God is good...anyway hope y'all are s doing well. Am gonna be in your ears and in your visionscope soon....so watch out.... see you at 1st Fridays.

One love
