Today after I got off work, I was feeling hopeless. Money is so tight for me. I’m blessed to be working and know that I can at the least pay my rent, which is a blessing. But I have all these things I want to invest in. I need extra money. Sometimes I feel hopeless and when I got off work today that is exactly how I felt. I felt completely drained of inspiration, of motivation. I was feeling this empty feeling in my stomach that said I would be looking at myself a year from now, just as I was last year and the year before that. Wondering why I couldn’t make more of myself. Then I got a text from one of my great friends, saying “impromptu dinner…come now”.

I had planned on going to Yoga which is definitely a positive, but I thought to myself. You know I could really use love and support right now. I think the healthiest thing would be to say yes to the moment. Say yes to the opportunity that presented itself to you instead of sticking to the plan you had made for yourself. While the plan was good, let me tell you what following the moment brought me. It brought me hugs and smiles from people whom I love and adore. It brought great conversation about life. And it brought a video…called “IT IS ALWAYS NOW”. Which silenced both Shannon Bobo and I, which if you know us, that’s a hard thing to do. Good work Lucas Jackson. It just put things into perspective. My past; it’s gone. My future; well it’s in the future. But NOW, right NOW is where I am or at least it’s where I want to be. I can’t properly finish this without giving a shout out to Grace De Silva who has constantly filled my NOW’s with great joy! Needless to say I left feeling rejuvenated and inspired. All is not lost. All is never lost. Because as long as I have my now. I always have it all.
