The month of January was very eventful. And the first week of the new year was one for the records. That being said, I am thankful for a new month and hoping that it starting on a Monday is symbolic.

I am working to get back to a space of inspiration and as I assess my world I can see I have lots to keep me inspired.

Today’s inspiration, among a handful, is Black History Month. I have learned a lot about black history. Unfortunately, I’ve learned more in the past 3 years than I have my whole life. Why is that? Why don’t schools do a better job at educating our kids on black history? For me, this book was a wake up call. It lead me on a path of discovery that is heartbreaking yet enlightening and inspiring, I am thankful and better because of it.

If you’re asking yourself why you should read it or why do we have a Black History Month then you’re one of the many Americans who should read it. And if you decide to forge ahead then come back and let me know what you think.

Have a wonderful February ❤

The California presidential primary election is coming up. If you know me at all or have seen my Twitter feed, you know it is making me nervous. The division with politics these days is unreal and a bit scary. In this political climate I always find myself associating the good and evil with the story of Star Wars.

I am from the beginning of the Star Wars generation – A New Hope.

The Rebel Alliance is about fairness, equality and helping those who can’t help themselves.

The Galactic Empire is about power, uniform and doing what is told of you or you will not survive.

I know where I stand, how about you?

I watched the Oscars last night. Did you? I love the Oscars. I’m a movie buff and I love the escape from our own realities that movies offer us. I can also truly appreciate when an actor makes me believe their character and then can perform a completely different character in another movie, that’s talent. So to watch the award show and the culmination of the year’s movies and all that talent, it’s inspiring. Add the fashion and style that walks the red carpet before the show, and I’m all in!

Last night one speech struck a nerve and truly inspired me within because I keep hearing it over and over in my head, still this morning. It was Hildur Guðnadóttir’s speech after winning best original score for Joker and she said, “To the girls, to the women, to the mothers, to the daughters who hear the music bubbling within, please speak up, we need to hear your voices.” I’m not sure what I’m going to do with that, but I know it struck me and I’d like to think it will inspire some action.

So here’s a post for today’s motivation and I’m hoping it helps with my direction. If not, maybe it will help with yours.

Either way we all need a little Monday Motivation don’t we?

The Whirlwind of Life

As I sit here trying to figure out what to write, I realize it shouldn’t be hard with so much going on in my life. But it’s a lot of little stuff going on, nothing exciting. Then I wonder, who really wants to know what’s going on in my life? My day to day activities are pretty boring. I’m a mom, wife and I work from home as a social media manager. Most of my time is spent catering to others and who wants to read about that?

However, lately I have been captivated by the goings-on of America and have my head buried in politics. Unfortunately, I have never been interested in the political arena, yet these days I am paying attention like never before and from what I’m piecing together, it’s probably a good thing that I’m paying better attention. If I don’t have my face in a book then I’m watching a documentary and if I’m not reading or watching a documentary then I’m online scouring for more information. I think more Americans need to pay better attention. I believe America is in trouble and I’m afraid not enough people believe America is in trouble and that is a scary thought.

I have learned how wonderful it is to be inspired. I have also learned that you need a little direction to do something with that inspiration. I am always inspired, but I need to work on my direction. Have you found your direction?
