What’s Important.

It’s always a wake up call when our People decide it’s time to leave.

Especially when it seems way too early of a departure.

Yesterday’s sobering news felt like a big bucket of ice cold water being thrown over me. By the way — I hate cold water. I know Yogi Bhajan says it will eradicate cellulite, but even that hasn’t been enough to entice me with a cold shower, or dousing, as Brother is so big on. The cellulite eliminator alone should indicate just how much I abhor cold water.

It was a very needed wake up call. Because truth be known, I’ve been struggling a lot lately with negativity and focusing on things that just straight up are not important.

I wish it wasn’t death that had to remind me of what is important, but I also like to think even that is serving such a higher purpose in departing this Earth plane — bringing us back to The Truth of what matters.

And guess what! It isn’t all the paint nicks I’ve been bitching about to The BF, insisting that they MUST be sanded down and painted before I birth this babe. Yeah, I might have gone on like a 15 minute tirade about it the other night.

Over paint, People. Alright, alright. Over a lot of things.

What the hell does that matter in the scheme of things? Am I going to remember the painting that needed to happen and the Christmas wreath STILL hanging on our front door at the almost end of February?

Probably not. Well, actually I probably will, but it’ll be because I’m laughing and hopefully telling some young 20 or 30-something whose all stressed out that those things absolutely don’t matter. Don’t give a shit about them. Don’t even waste your time and mental energy on going there!

What does matter is our People and how we are treating each other. With that said, I bought a ticket home to D.C.

I want to go be with my People. I need it. This will be my last trip prior to the babe and I can’t think of a better way to spend a few days then being surrounded by family and lots of love and support — the real important things.
