Not takin’ nothin’ from no one,give ‘em hell long as i’m breathin’
Keep kickin a🍑 in the mornin and takin’ names in the evening
Leav’em with a taste of sour as vinegar in their mouth
See they can trigger me but they never figure me out

Hot hot heat! The Shopify thing has been overwhelming and not great. But now that there is direction, I feel relief to be on the move again. More website updates coming soon! So many ends to tie up.

During June I shared some stories from WWll that have helped me gain and maintain some perspective over the years. There will always be battles to fight in this wild life so maintaining a range of tactics and strategies to make it through is something I would absolutely recommend.

Since this whole website debacle has been unfolding a new scammer battle front, I better keep going that direction since I need to maintain my sanity. Revamping strategies help focus! So today’s main takeaway is: you gotta keep moving. Even when you are overwhelmed. Even when you think that you are unprepared for the challenges you are facing, you must continue through. If you stop trying, you have given up and the cause is lost.

Do not tarry. Do not stop. Maybe try listening to some Eminem. Those early albums are a pounding march of fury through the fire, you have to get moving when you hear them 🔥⚡️🪶⚒️

Some rain some shine. I do like a challenge. Thank you again, as always 🪶⚡️🫶🏽

Renewal

A place in history I have spent a tremendous amount of time is WWll. That sounds a little strange to say after all of these years, but at the beginning of my ordeal after being betrayed by my family, I was a tough spot.

So I asked my curiosity for help.

Hello, curiosity. It’s me again. I don’t love my story at this very moment and I’m terribly afraid that I can’t rely on the stories I know to get me the hell outta this place. Can you find me some better ones? Maybe some stories of courage, because I feel very small. Or some stories of bravery? I don’t want to admit how scared I am. If you could find me some stories to hold on to, then I think we have a shot.

And this is one of the reasons I know so many stories from WWII. This great and terrible conflict that left no continent on our globe untouched. This huge event was an incredible undertaking. An entire generation of free peoples took a look at barbarism and brutality and said no.

Of all of the leaders at the time, I have a great respect for that stalwart English bulldog. I think Mr. Churchill understood that just as important as men and munitions, morale would carry the day, even in the face of fearsome and daunting odds. And an enemy that outmatched and outclassed his island nation on almost every tactical way in the beginning of the war.

The pieces I have been making these last months have many of those rugged stories in them. There have been many trials over the years. Trials that stretched and strained my spirit sails. When I needed them, I borrowed courage from some of these stories. Some of you will recognize some of these sayings from previous collections because some of these stories have been with me for a very long time.

Maybe you too find yourself in need of some courage. Maybe your sails have been sagging in your own trials by fire. The dark has not bested us yet.

We can watch our limits be tested, we will rest to conserve our strength. We may be bowed but we remain unbroken 🪶
