Y'all Please

Social terrorism is not cute

Between multiple shows during the holiday season, getting caught up with life, and now these devastating LA fires, I’ve been feeling overwhelmed. Comments from some people have left me, well, angry. The blame game, conspiracy theories, and general vitriol have hurt my spirit a little.

So, I went out and spent some time helping a few organizations that are on the ground, doing what they can to help those who have lost everything. That definitely helped reset my spirit. The following is a small part of what I’ve been feeling:

Sometimes it seems like no matter what a person does — Black, white, gay, straight, tall, short, tiny, or voluptuous — it just doesn’t matter to some people. They’re determined to find fault.

It’s not an abundant way to live or breathe. We’ve become such a society of social terrorism. What has happened to gratitude?

This ongoing, unconscious, knee-jerk reaction to find something nasty to say has become far too much a part of everyday communication.

Let’s remember: whatever you’re feeling in your he

art toward someone is what you’re carrying in your own body and mind. It rarely ever touches them.

Let’s not drown ourselves in this heavy, dark behavior — suffocated by the need to find, or even create, flaws while overlooking opportunities to feel gratitude.

Let’s take that negative flow and turn it into something kind — even if it’s for selfish reasons. A softness in our hearts is simply better for our spirits. So, y’all please. Be Selfish. Do better & feel better.
