I want to put this on here so that I remember. Powerful use and choice of lingual in a song suiting for our people/ nation! (and by a twenty one year old!) Coolest.

I've been spending the nights with Nau (my grandmother). Its been comforting and kind of God.  She's partially deaf so communicating has been different that we have to be loud enough for her to hear us. So sometimes she cant hear us being around and she gets a shock when she sees us suddenly like  we've been there with her for a while. One "Sa!" usually comes flying at us quickly followed with laughter and then all is well in the land!  It got me thinking of how important the sense of hearing is that it affects where we look or how we press on to the next thing.  Nau doesn't look our direction when she's  busy because she cant hear us being there with her and its enlightened me with some truths:  📌Sometimes we're not looking because we're not listening.  📌Sometimes we dont have direction because we're not listening. 📌Sometimes we get a shock when our paths take a sudden turn because we're not listening. 🥺  I've had to learn some of ...

Year End Reflections

Hi there. Less than 5 days away till 2025 and I want to share my reflections. These were questions prompted for Salt Team and thought it be great to share here.  🌼 What's your biggest reflection from 2024?  Going through heartbreak this year, I discovered a new strength I didn't think I had. 10 years ago me would wish I never go through something like this because I didnt think I'd survive it ... i guess because of all the shame and embarrassment attached to it.

"ALL DAYS ARE GOD'S DAYS" - Nau

It’s been a little over a month since Nau transitioned in to glory after 85 good years of living earth side. I have been trying to gather myself together to write an entry and share on here. She filled a large part of my heart, second to my parents. Alot of my life’s significant moments are marked with memories with her. I miss her constant presence in my life for sure. Coming back home this past year and getting to be with her is something I will treasure forever. On top of grieving the relationship I was in and all I had hoped it would be, I came home to grieving my deteriorating Nau. It was so painful to watch her not being her usual self and so the grief has been gradual over the course of a year. To simply say this past year was HARD to live with her condition and trying to keep things somewhat "normal" above all, is such an understatement.  I’ll be honest here, I reached a point where I told God, I can’t bear to see her live this way for another 5 years. It is not f...
