Guts N' Glory Guts N' Glory

We will never fully be our own, but rather an accumulative effort of all that has, is, and what will take place.  



As such, we perhaps find ourselves passing each other by, unknowingly connected through these indirect acts that propel us into the lives of those we cohabit this big blue marble with. We'll never know to what extent our reach has had or has. Or the extent to which someone has on us. But what we do know is with what energy and intention we release something with.  



Be and do with empathy. The hot sauce we didn't know we were lacking, but desperately crave. New pod ep with Jaime Alvarez Sobreviela @mrkatandfriends. He's one for the simple life. Family. Space. Time. Surf. Cats. Art. And imbued into each and every one of his characters is a little piece of himself, but the rest is up to you.  Taking an empathic standpoint, he, in that moment, has allowed space for not only himself on the canvas, but you the viewer. Allowing those to perceive it in whatever state they themselves are in.   



Like when you sidle along on the bus seat to make space for another. And isn't that what we've all come to realize? Acknowledging and giving space to another actualizes this framework in which there's enough for all, not just me.

Nature’s annotations. It’s up to you to take note of them or not. What’s been nipped in the bud for you this year? No pun intended given this episode’s instigator. A Magnolia tree.

Like Shrek once said. Onion layers. Also, fixate over something, live, and it will happen. Full stop baby. New GN'G ep with the one and only Mohamed Danawi of Illozoo. Sassy. Sweet. Powerful. Casual. Human.

Sometimes all I want to do is talk. About what I don’t know. Can we just talk? Do others also yearn for this? To have the desire and the means to give form to something, yet not know quite yet with what purpose or outcome. Isn’t that where the best things come from?



Teasing this in the latest ep. Touching on the spectrum of I think it’s about time and well within our worth to feel better than shit and settling for “okay”.



Steeze - by definition a person's distinctive and attractive or impressive style of dress or way of doing things.



We are most definitely not in our steeze. So how do we get back to it? What tools do we use? What steps do we take? All field notes.



Also, on being burnt, there’s a little more of that cool-aid to be had in one of The Cut's latest pod eps.

Here’s to finding our yellow brick road.

Honestly, I haven't written that much. I mean, that's practically the extent of it. I operate more so in the sphere of my Notion workspaces where a plethora of spreadsheets, client briefs and databases keep me fulfilled. That is until it didn't. And I think that with the 3rd extension of this lockdown here, it finally hit a point where last Friday night I really felt it; so entirely and utterly deprived of any and all human closeness. There hasn't been one interaction that hasn't been instigated through either work, networking, grasping for some form of proximity through a screen, fulfilling my due diligence in both profession and family ties. And knowing that for the most part we're all in the same boat. There's nothing to be done. And that all I want is to lean up against a warm body and talk, or just close my eyes.



Anyway. Person to person. You and I. That's basically what I want to talk about.



So here it is, season 4. We're doing this.

There’s no more body. You can WHATEVER. And my ankles need elevating. The takeaway of this episode is surrender. Surrender whether by choice or out of necessity. Surrender in this moment to seize the next. Acknowledge the skill and strength it takes to surrender, to ask for help, and to accept it. Time-bound, corporeal-based acts of surrendering heals physically, and translates on a conscious, as well as subconscious level, that you ARE. Instances of simply being is a step above surviving and the state before living. Sometimes we need to be the bud before the bloom. And sometimes we need another to help us realize this. Definitely a slower episode. Christina prompts a quick intentional movement sesh followed by a meditation and tarot pull. We went out to go in. Therapy served. Don’t know what I’d do without my bean. If you feel like you’re in this place, need to hit refresh, or just want to follow along during the meditation, this one’s for you.



This is Ep 41 Bud Before the Bloom with Christina Youngi Kim.
