Heyyy beautiful travelers, movers, shakers, seekers, unrepentant sinners and God-fearing believers… wake-up! …it’s another close-call Monday!

I just want to share my heart. It is still broken over the tragic lost of the mother and father of this beautiful prominent family. This tragedy was a passing blurb in the media and news (which is not uncommon where successful African American families are concerned) however, the complexity should not go unnoticed. I pray for the family and especially their children, and asked myself, Why? Why? Why? The real answer we may never know.

What I have learned is that Life can be filled with love, difficult and fragile all at the same time. Yet when we leave disagreements, conflict or hurts unaddressed, the effects ripple and spiral through our biology, our psyche, our families, our social circles and beyond…right into future relationships.

Conflict doesn’t disappear with blocking or no contact or just because we don’t address it; it simply changes form. Our bodies are sending messages everytime a red flag go up. That’s protection. Why ignore them? Why tolerate situations that we know in our gut are uncomfortable for us?

Whether you think you need support or not, please know that help is available. Even the smallest issues can trigger. We never know the full weight of the load others carry. Reach out or contact someone you can trust. The cost of inaction can be higher than you ever imagined.

On lifes journey, you owe it to yourself, to create and maintain the blueprint, the playbook for your future and legacy today. My greatest privilege is facilitating that GPS with you. . You decide.
