Day 1- Why Are You Here in NYC Book Tour

Repeat this over and over again…I am unshakable. I am unmovable. I am un-messable-with. I am solid as a rock. I am confident. I believe in myself. I know that I am capable, worthy, and able. I know who is in me. I know that prosperity, abundance, lots of money, and lots of success are available to me. It’s my birthright. I’m supposed to have that. I’m a leader. I have some thing powerful and valuable to give to this world. But I can’t give anything if I’m broke. I believe that my destiny is here today. I believe that my opportunity is here today. I believe that today is my day to access all of my miracles. Shanel Cooper-Sykes

I was sitting here doing some calculations, just before I had to go to the airport to catch my flight. 
While I was sitting there I am talking to myself, the Cooper-Sykes quote above was on brain repeat now  to drown out the self talk, the doubt that sounded like OMG you must and have to sell some books to have any cash on this tour because the flow is low- how did you get here ........again!  What about this class don't you get, what about the lesson is giving you the challenges. I started asking right there for help, this was triggered to by a conversation  I had yesterday at  my hair dresser, who fell in a wisdom well, maybe before she was born. She said to me "Yaki, you don't seem to ask anyone for anything, how can you share your life if you want to do everything yourself, practice asking" I swallowed that, smiled and said nothing. Have you noticed when someone gave you a truth slap it stops you dead in your tracks? Well that happens to me BTW
So I asked one of my dear friends to take me to the airport, I asked another one to assist me with the logistics of the Book Festival on Saturday and I asked the Universe for guidance
I'm still alive! 
So with all that said, NYC, one of my favorite cities, welcomed me with open arms, hopped in the taxi with the I am unshakable speech on repeat, felt pretty good after being at the airport for three and a half hours before boarding the flight.
Let's do this NYC!
I'm here
Peace

Redefinition of Lose

Rather than think about what you have to do to change a situation, consider what the situation might be doing to change you. How it might be seasoning and transforming and growing you. You are not responsible for everything and everyone. Allow that as a possibility. Jessica Dore There are some situations that are simply in your life showing you how to shift, how to be flexible, to grow, to transform. You long for change, yet you cling so to the familiar. You are so afraid of what you think you will lose. You are even afraid to lose the things you don't want. The familiar becomes your family, regardless of what it is. let's redefine "lose" I define lose as opening up to a new possibility The day I stopped saying that I lost my house, lost my marriage, lost my mind, things shifted for me The shift has to start inside How we define and relate to the circumstances in our lives transforms how we act. I started asking myself different question...

What Does Support Look Like to You?

  You save yourself energy when you learn to ask people what they need, instead of assuming you know best then acting on your own impulses. Allowing people to define what support looks like gives you an ability to assess if you have the capacity to show up - Minaa B If someone asks you right now, what does support look like to you, what would be your answer? It takes self reflection , self awareness and more importantly a whole load of authenticity to answer. On the flip side, do you rush to support others without them even asking- there may be times when that is required, however many a time we assume that we know what others want and need. The times when we do assume, after a while a feeling of resentment builds because "how could they be so ungrateful?" or "why are they not seeing their need for my help?" the other classic is "they must need my help to show them because they clearly are not seeing that they need support" We continue to assume what othe...
