Right side Up or Upside Down

In life we are either right side up or upside down....
Emotionally, professionally, personally...
And it matters..
It matters how we got there and if we need to right ourselves.
Often times we get in situations and we dont know how.. Have you ever been driving down the street or highway and 20 mins later you look up and cant remember the last 20 mins?? It happens to me alot.. Its drifting, or distractions that cause us to zone out.  Its like life... One minute you are 22 finishing college, looking for a job or maybe working somewhere you like and you look up and you are 35, with kids, in a job you may hate, bills galore etc..
And you say... What??? Wait!!!
How did I get here, this is not what i planned...
There is nothing like waking up.. Coming out of a daze..and feeling turned upside down.
Either we stay that course because its where we are at that moment and it must be destiny right? * not always.. It may just be decisions but we will talk about that another time...
Or we try to upright ourselves.
We may reach out to family or friends, we may work harder trying to work ourselves out of it...
We may pray..
Well I do a little of each.. And I incorporate Yoga and meditation... Why? Because in my world.. None of it is wrong.. There is a place for it all.
The peace and direction from yoga and meditation clear my vision both figuratively and physically.
I have learned to quiet my mind and while my mind is quiet... To heal my body through movement.
It's like playing a movie in slow motion.. You see where you are emotionally and physically and your body and mind speak to you.
Am I happy, am I at peace, am I living the life I have envisioned or am I barely surviving, hanging on. If I am barely survivng, the movie is playing slow enough for me to begin to see where Im upside down, what area am I inbalanced..
At that point.... I can decide if I stay the course or change it....
Of course nothing is easy or fast...
But figuring out when you are upside down or right side up is a major accomplishment...
What works for you?
Next:
Yoga asanas to aide in opening us up.

Road to Peace of Mind - The Giver

Lots of people show up when you are successful or have abundance and freely give to them or they know that they can ask you for anything, and the answer is usually yes. 
Those people don't know how hard it is for you to say no because in your heart, You are a true giver, and even when you know someone is using you and taking advantage of you and then ridiculing you all while they've got their hands stretched out to you for your help, You still give, you still smile kindly....
And while it's not ok to be treated that way... it's ok because you don't control others intentions or actions. 
Remember, it's not about what they'll get for how they treat you, but it's about what you're gonna get for how you treated them. 
There is a blessing in being a blessing.  
Even if people walk around and say you are stupid, it's your fault, your silly for hanging around so long, for not seeing the signs, for allowing that treatment.. 
They can't see you are made from a different cloth. The cloth of love and protection and it's just in your nature to be good to people.  Continue to see the good in all things.. But Learn to protect yourself, your peace, your space and your energy....when it's possible. Even God had to shake things up and reclaim his peace... but never stop loving and never stop giving. 
Everything that happens is predicated on what we have done..

Dear Frank Dallas Red Carpet screening & Movie Review by Ali

Dear Frank felt more like...Ohhhh Nooo Frank....
With  Brian White, Claudia Jordan, Columbus Short, Kearia Schroeder, Fella Soul, Joey Napoli, Nicholas Turturro.... 
*Release Date Nov 10, 2019

Dallas, TX welcomed the 30 city tour premiere charity screening of Dear Frank on 10/18 at The Black Academy of Arts and Letters where proceeds will fund youth arts and education programs at TBAAL. Special thanks to Mudd Films & Webber Films. 
Actors Brian White, Claudia Jordan, Kearia Schroeder, Fella Soul were present at the screening and took time to chat about their endeavors and this tour. They also held a QA along with an after party and listening session after the screening at J.F.Keg Bar & Kitchen. What  a night!! 

So I bet you're wondering what the hype is about?? 
Well.... Let me tell you! 
This is story about a lovely couple, who keep daily diaries and have the perfect life or so it seems.. Until an untimely death makes everyone question who they are, and what they thought they knew about one another. 
How often are you watching a movie and one minute you love everybody, the next minute, you hate everybody, you have no idea what's about to happen?? You think you know and BAM!! They get you again! 
Had me saying WTW over and over!! 
You got evil, you've got mischief, you've got faux families, lies and sex.. Well tons of sex, murder, comedy... More lies...Not the Priest and the Doctor...AND an unexpected ending! 
Y'all don't leave your diary around!!!!! 

The storyline is real. While the content was heavy, it really makes you sit back and think for a minute.. The way comedic lines were written and enacted was so intelligently done that you could still capture the essence of the film without there being inappropriate humor based on the real life heavy topics. 
I applaud the writers and actors for tackling really tough issues. Mental health, Sexual addiction,  Abuse, Depression, as well as hitting on kind of the decline of the mind when there is no accountability and fear, hatred and anger take over. 
Each actor did a phenomenal job portraying their character in this type of film with only 10 days of shooting and 65 pages of script and it's an independent film.
Go out support THIS FILM & actors and the 30 city tour..
They may be coming to a city near you. Check @dearfrank.movie for details

I can't wait to see what each of these stars has for us next!!!
