Today is the annual day this kid purges his room in preparation for Santa to make it rain with toys. We donate the toys to Goodwill so other babies might enjoy them. Let's hope for the best... #auntourage #everythinghesposedtoget
Last night I co-hosted a discussion of "Becoming" with my fave grumpy lawyer, Dawny Dawn. We used the reading guide from the website and just sat around answering the questions, talking, sharing experiences and enjoying the food, drink and company. The last question was basically something like why did Michelle Obama name her book "Becoming" and how does the title relate to you. Everyone's answer was personal and awesome. So empowering. SEVERAL nuggets dropped from the amazing array of women. Me? I said that I don't know what I will end up as because I just keep swerving. I do something until I either no longer can or simply don't want to anymore. But...while I'm doing it, I give my all. In short, I guess I am constantly BECOMING my personal mantras. I do what I want and I want everything I'm 'sposed to get. ANDI KNOW HOW BLESSED I AM THAT I GET TO LIVE THIS WAY. I am becoming, even moreso, that old lady Elder who snatches ALL kids upright and let 'em know where they came from and how disrespectful they are being to their ancestors, Elders and community at large if they are being dumb. I am also becoming that Elder who folds up a lil piece of money in the hands of babies who make my heart smile because they are BECOMING something amazing right before my eyes and hell...CASH IS KING! I am BECOMING a resource to anyone who feels they could use some help with writing it down and making it happen by showing them how to ask, and then research, the right questions. I am BECOMING someone who lets grown folks do them, no matter how much I love them and how much they are screwing up. I ain't Jesus, God, Wonder Woman or Debo. Imma stir my tea with my spoon. "Now you want to say you're sorry, Now you want to call me crying, Now you gotta see me wilding, Now I'm the one that's lying, And I don't feel bad about it, It's exactly what you get, Stop interrupting my grinding, I ain't thinking 'bout you..." More importantly than that however? I am BECOMING someone who is laid back, chill as hell, fun to be around and of service to those she loves deserving of her fealty. Simple stuff. "BECOMING"
Santa ask too many questions. Have you been good? Have you been naughty or nice? This why I buy my own ish. Explaining is draining...
