Thank you especially for the soul's who love me, the health of my mind and body, for the prosperity and abundance through my career, the beautiful life that chases me when I'm in dark spaces and finally for the best teacher, champion, advocate for my joy that I have ever known my son Varro Blair Mendez. #thisis47

1 . . . I'm a fan of fancy articulation; poetry, prose, alliterations, stanzas and verse, double entendres, verbosity. But sometimes a good 🤬 is exactly right." -Me

3 . . . "I often have to remind myself that just because they didn't invite me doesn't mean I'm not worthy to attend. I am who I determine and work diligenly to be.; No outside temporary influence should matter more than the Trinity that permanently resides within" -Me

Nearly everyone admires or loves a classic. But few will ever possess one and even fewer still will know how to properly maintain that which they formerly coveted. So I ask myself constantly how do I CARE for the "things" I SAY I love? Sometimes my behavior is incongruent with my intention. Thankfully when this occurs my spirit prompts me to make adjustments in the present now and grace and mercy meet me there so guilt can be thwarted. I am grateful for second chances when allowed. But be careful assuming you have time… Inorder for something to have longevity and remain beautiful a loving hospitable environment must be consistently maintained. Everything on Earth is perishable and the junkyard reminds us that negligence has dire consequences
