🌿 Day 7 of 60 | Coming Home to Yourself

Sometimes the greatest journey isn’t about where you go, but what you remember about yourself along the way.

Remembering is Revolutionary™️

This is a proud mama post! I’ve been sitting on these pics thinking of what I wanted to say… my baby boy… Truthfully God blessed me with a wonderful sun. A one of one! I am eternally grateful because he has been my saving grace this lifetime and every lifetime I would choose him to be my Sun. My North Star, My greatest teacher and my not so little anymore friend. I am so proud of you for seeing it through. This is your senior year & we’ve been on this basketball journey for 15 or so years. You have worked your butt off to get here and I am so proud of you! Not just because you are a great basketball player but because you are a great person. Congratulations on being named Team Captain. The sky can’t even limit you! Love you always! Have a fantastic season! 😘❤️🙏🏾

When I was in high school, my entire jazz band went together to see “Mo Better Blues” and I was incredibly moved by this piece of art created in film form by @officialspikelee
When I was a student at Hampton, Spike Lee came and spoke at Ogden Hall & i had the opportunity to meet him. I am an ardent fan of Terence Blanchard. Lastly, when I was in Hampton I was blessed with the opportunity to pledge Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated, the illustrious Gamma Iota Chapter at Hampton University to be exact. I was blessed by my big sister @shariponder formerly Fleming with the name Bleek. Here is a snippet of my legacy.

I have loved Prince sincevthe beginning of time. Back in the late 70’s… wow! I am an old bi$t$-
I lost count of how many concerts I attended … that many- at one residency I went to a show weekly - I was and will always be a fan! So I was happen to attend to tribute show @thefordla featuring @djrashida and @bilalmusic - it was a fab show! I ran into the beautiful one- @queenofgreen
Are you a Prince fan? What’s your favorite Prince Song?

I’m not interested in becoming a new woman.
I’m interested in remembering the woman I was before the world told me who I should be.

The older I get, the less interested I am in performing a life that looks good from the outside.

I want a life I can actually feel.

Sun on my skin. ☀️
Water. 💦
Beauty. ✨
Good food. 🌸
Movement. 💃🏾
Rest. 💤
And more whimsical, silly moments. 🤸🏾‍♀️

Travel that changes something in me.
People who feel like a deep exhale.

At this stage of my life, wellness isn’t about fixing myself.

It’s about knowing myself well enough to recognize what nourishes me — and having the courage to choose MORE of it.

Maybe reinvention isn’t becoming someone else.

Maybe it’s remembering who you were all along.

Remembering is Revolutionary™.

— Shannon

Maybe reinvention
is really remembrance.

60 and 72. Two women who left the U.S. alone and built lives abroad — me in Tulum, @MamaOrah in Jamaica.

We followed each other online for years before we ever met. Then she came here, and it took about four minutes to know this was family.

She wanted to see Cobá. Pyramids in the Mexican jungle. She wanted to pour libations at the top and thank the earth for the whole journey. I wasn’t dressed for a climb and had no plan to make one — but my friend was going up, so I went up with her.

This is what the second half looks like.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to go — this is it.
