Since 2020, I have started inviting folks into my daily practices. One such practice is carving out the first two hours of waking up for 100% me time. The first hour is divided into meditation and journaling. The second hour is dedicated to physical exercise.
Meditation, for me, is sitting in silence, observing my thoughts and reflecting on my actions. Over the decades, it has evolved into sitting silently, connecting with my Source through this deliberate practice.
There is more than enough for everyone. I learned this life lesson from my mother as a young child growing up in Jamaica. No matter how little food we might have to feed our family of eight, mama would always put in an extra amount of whatever the meal of the day was- just in case someone dropped by.
When we hear of violent ways another human life is taken, no matter their identities, do we all feel the same emotions? Do we feel sadness? Anger? Despair? Or are these emotions reserved for only members of your community?
What happens to members of the community from which that person’s life has been senselessly and violently erased?
I enjoy reading books that go back decades in time. I am currently re-reading Peter Senge’s The Fifth Discipline. I am reading the section that speaks to personal mastery. It is a beautiful section that peels away the layers of what it takes to stay on the journey of seeking to become a better version of ourselves. This is personal mastery, and not everyone knows how to stay on this journey.

Last week I invited you to consider whether your organization is ready to embark upon a formal Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Decolonization (EDID) program of training workshops and coaching.
