We all have a history, it’s what we choose to keep that becomes our heritage.

Captured this from a recent conference and thought I would share. Found it to be rather profound.

A Bemba proverb I came across today: “umwana ashenda atasha nyina ukunaya” (an untravelled child praises the mother’s cooking).

This played among my daily mix and thought it just applied to so much we are going through in the current COVID, lockdown or even daily experiences. Thought I would share.

Tell me what it’s all for
When you get what you want and you still want more
In the end, you know that life’s the reward
So, baby, worry less
Uh, and celebrate more

Celebrate, yeah, I’m celebratin’ more, ayy
Celebrate, yeah, I’m celebratin’ more, ayy
Celebrate, yeah, I’m celebratin’ more, ayy
Celebrate, yeah, I’m celebratin’ more, ayy

Yeah, top of the mornin’ to you from the other side, and
Yeah, I been to Hell and back, I could have swore I died, and
Yeah, dodging depression, lookin’ for a message
Facing my fears and hopin’ for a blessin’, tellin’ my demons they can get to steppin’
I was lost, no, I was hidin’, I was so divided
Chasin’ after wind, I couldn’t hope to find it
Tryna get bigger bags, yeah
Tryna get what they have, yeah
Shoulda been holdin’ back, yeah
Didn’t know what I had

So let’s celebrate, yeah, let’s celebrate, yeah, yeah
We gon’ levitate, they’ll be better days, yeah, yeah
Let it resonate, throw the stress away, yeah, yeah
Don’t waste another day, c’mon, baby, let’s wake up and celebrate, c’mon

Celebrate, yeah, I’m celebratin’ more, ayy
Celebrate, yeah, I’m celebratin’ more, ayy
Celebrate, yeah, I’m celebratin’ more, ayy
Celebrate, yeah, I’m celebratin’ more, ayy

Hey, uh
We gotta celebrate just like the year’s over (ooh)
We gonna do it good, my dawg a year sober (ooh)
I give online, don’t judge me when I pass the church plate (ooh)
All I want is the cake for my birthday (yeah)
Yeah, closin’ the houses and openin’ businesses (yeah)
We went to college to finish it, did a whole lot with a little bit (oh, shorty)
Yeah, if we take a L, then we elevate
Don’t let your food get cold lookin’ at somebody else’s plate (hey)

So let’s celebrate, yeah, let’s celebrate, yeah, yeah
We gon’ levitate, they’ll be better days, yeah, yeah
Let it resonate, throw the stress away, yeah, yeah
Don’t waste another day, c’mon, baby, let’s wake up and celebrate, c’mon

Tell me what it’s all for
When you get what you want and you still want more
In the end, you know that life’s the reward
So, baby, worry less
Uh, and celebrate more

Celebrate, yeah, I’m celebratin’ more, ayy
Celebrate, yeah, I’m celebratin’ more, ayy
Celebrate, yeah, I’m celebratin’ more, ayy
Celebrate, yeah, I’m celebratin’ more, ayy

Need some validation, and don’t believe the person you see in the mirror?
You are awesome. You are valued. You are loved. You are special.

An absolute gem of a short film that I first saw years ago (it’s at least 10+ years old now) and found again last year in the middle of a lockdown-induced, doom funk I was in. Watch it whenever you need a validation booster shot. (And maybe keep a tissue for happy tears handy.)

I love Pablo Stanley and this video has stuck with me for so many years (well, 2 years) and this is so damn true and I keep turning back to it every now and then.

Got my family set up on RighNow Media with content on phones, browsers and even the Xbox. So nice to have them watching content that is wholesome.

I looked at their pricing page, and it doesn’t look like it has pricing for individuals…

Oh snap, I just saw that now. Only option would be the sub 50 particpants option which at 350pm is a bit steep. My apologies :pensive:
