Down in a Slump

I have to say that I have been feeling down in the dumps lately. Emotionally, mentally, and physically I just have not had the energy level that I did about a week back. It is almost as though my mind went on pause.

You know when you look at your life and think about where you are at, it somewhat stops you when you make a comparison to what you want out of life. I am having that moment when I look at what my dreams are and how far off I am too accomplishing them. I know that I am not even remotely close. That gives me pause for a moment.

Maybe I am trying to take it all in. I am not sure. Part of me knows that I am trying to formulate a plan that will work. So far, my plans have been misses. However, I figure, it is okay to pause. That does not mean I am stopping or giving up. I am just taking some time out to put things into perspective and appreciate the life that I do have.

I will be out of this funk before I even know it.

There are mountains and valleys in this journey called life. Please remember that even though you are in a valley the mountain is straight ahead. Keep moving forward and learn from the past. The next mountain will be grander and the next valley will really be a small bump on the road.

Squid Game Season 2 Teaser Trailer

Squid Game Season 2 Teaser Trailer Okay, I am not going to lie to you all, I watched season one of the Squid Game series by complete accident because my son and daughter were watching it, and I was curious. I think they were on the third or fourth episode, and I got hooked. It seems so long ago and came at the right time. I have been waiting not-so-patiently like everyone else for season 2. Well, the teaser trailer was dropped, and I am here for it. We have some returning characters and some new players that make it look pretty interesting to watch. The problem is the release date is reported to be November 2024. I would have rather you kept this teaser to yourself. Bombastic side eye! Check out the trailer below

I needed a moment so I wrote a couple of poems and recorded a podcast show because I just needed a moment to be.  Adjust Breathe in know that it is your time to feel what you need to feel, your time to have a moment Wanda Toby @Litevi I Need a Moment Ya’ll gonna give me a moment  A moment to feel what I feel  To sit in this pocket of disappointment  To let the letdown flow over me and settle  in the unsettled pits of my stomach To bubble and gurgle and seethe  Just need a moment to adjust or  readjust to the dimming of hope that was ignited  a glow that dared to burn too bright in a time when darkness rallied Ya’ll gonna give me a moment  A moment to feel what I feel To get it together and figure it out Am I going to fight or watch it burn A moment to acknowledge my exhaustion To cry at the loss of humanity at the choking hands of hubris Just need these few minutes before I gotta go to work - Wanda Toby Article A Psychologist’s Advice on How ...

Kanaval and Gagot by Sydney Guillaume

Image
A few years ago I posted about Sydney Guillaume, a Haitian choral composure, whose work is being sung by choirs all over the world. Through his art and talent, he is sharing Haitian culture and exposing our marvelous resilience throughout the world. Check out my previous post and his song Twa Tanbou. Kanaval is not new but always puts me in a good mood. It makes me want to get up and dance and revel in the glory of my life. The second song I want to highlight is titled Gagot which basically means a hot mess. I really enjoy this composition because I think it not only captures the essence of the Haitian people but also what life is all about. Often times, we expect or would like to live in this perpetual state of joy and happiness when in reality to live life is to push through layers upon layers of mess. On the surface, it may seem like a bleak understanding of our existence, but the miracle is in our ability to push forward and create moments of joy and happiness and fulfill...
