The last 6 weeks, I’ve been trying to get my 5K time under 30 mins - something I haven’t done in almost a decade.

Today, I ran 5K in 29:53!

Highlight of the morning is either feeding these guys or watching them enjoy breakfast while I eat mine. This is my neighbor who often runs across my roof.

There’s a #LostDog in #Oakland (near Lake Merritt). Please share this far and wide. She’s malnourished, but safe in our backyard. We’ve given her food and water. She’s super sweet and relatively calm. DM me with owner contact info if you have it. 💜

Whenever I see an animal, I “telepathically” tell them that I’m a friend and that they don’t need to be worried. I love that the squirrels in our yard will eat walnuts out of my hand.

This is how my date went 🙃

I happily happened upon a therapeutic petting zoo during a walk. There was a piglet, ducks, chickens, rabbits, a pony, a goat, and a lil baby lamb.

Fact: It is impossible to be upset about anything when holding a bunny.

I heard the song from my last new act before the pandemic. (Nutcracker-themed.) The song came on and I felt the choreography in my body, every staccato expression. I felt so much joy that night. (📸 below)

Grateful for the emotional connection I have with music.

Every so often some crafty person will make a gift for me based on my act. Those gifts are worth more to me than money. Grateful for every hand made gift I’ve received as a thank you.

Grateful for my dedication to creating art. Sometimes, I need to remind myself why I do this, why I over extend myself, and for whom I create movement-based stories. While pondering this, I wrote the following dedication (see image)

How do you cut down on #FoodWaste ?

I like to freeze my mixed greens if I know I won’t eat them in time. That way, I can toss them in a smoothie later on.

Grateful for a safe trip to & from Seattle to dance with the Urban Jazz Dance Company. Trips like these make me feel more connected to my co-dancers and the art form.

Random lore: The 1st time I performed Burlesque outside of the Bay was also in Seattle at the Can Can.

After years of consideration and hesitancy, I’m grateful for the decision to start my LocJourney (9 months so far)

This has changed my relationship with my hair from not caring much to protecting and nurturing it

Grateful for lived experiences that have taught me the difference between motivation and discipline. The former gets me started and the latter gets results, both are necessary to accomplish any goal

April 1996, I got a rejection letter from Georgia State University that changed the trajectory of my life

Grateful that every time I’ve wondered what that road would’ve been like, I haven’t imagined my life would have been better. I like who I turned out to be

I’ve learned to spend just enough energy on the problem to understand, but not wallow in it. I try to spend more energy on the solution in order to lighten the burden and be more resilient. I’m not always positive, that’s the result of a lot of unseen internal work.

Relatable. I used to call my microwave the coffee reheating machine until I got this Ember mug to keep the temperature I want.

Grateful for my Partner and all she continues to teach me about the importance of feeling connected on a journey 💜
