Hmmmm..…
I'm considering starting a new blog.
A Black Girl's Guide to Buddhism.
I really don't want to say girl.... I'm a lady, woman. Girl just sounds better. You know I love alliteration.

Bodhisattva
Mr. Cook, a carpenter, came to build a new closet in my room. He said "All you Bodhisattvas live on the 3rd floor."
Bodhisattva
In Buddhism, a Bodhisattva is anyone who is motivated by compassion and seeks enlightenment not only for him/herself but also for everyone...
Becoming a Bodhisattva is a huge step in helping not only yourself, but also every other sentient being, both seen and unseen. Most people are self-motivated and work primarily to solve their own problems, keeping others a distant second. Should someone do an act of kindness, repayment is generally expected whether in the form of a thank you and/or further praise.
A Bodhisattva is motivated by pure compassion and love. Their goal is to achieve the highest level of being: that of a Buddha. Bodhisattva is a Sanskrit term which translates as: Bodhi [enlightenment] and sattva [being]. And their reason for becoming a Buddha is to help others. The Bodhisattva will undergo any type of suffering to help another sentient being, whether a tiny insect or a huge mammal. In Shakyamuni Buddha's 'Perfection of Wisdom in 8,000 Lines' it states: "I will become a savior to all those beings, I will release them from all their sufferings." If this sounds familiar to anyone not acquainted with Buddhism, then you only need to think of the example of Jesus Christ, a true Bodhisattva.

Friday the 13th
As you may know, 13 is my favorite number and triskadekaphobia is my favorite word. It just so happens that day is Friday the 13th.....one of the most mysterious days of the year. And just so happens that I'm having a great day.
It started last night. I went on an agency outing to see FELA. When I tell you it was amazing.....trust me! I recently watched a documentary about him on Netflix. His story continues to intrigue me and his music consistently captures me. To see movements with that music was just....incredible. The performers were amazing. The women were thicker than snickers and shaking all types of ass. I picked up a few new moves. ;-)
This morning was good. Had to drop something off at the client's and bumped into the Director of International Marketing. In the midst of conversation, I extended my help to her. This is MY line: "if you need some help, let me know. I'm available." Sometimes I add a wink. haha.
She told me that she was desperately trying to fill a position but didn't know anyone. Oh baby, you know me now. By the time I got back to the office, I had a job description in my inbox. Def sent her every piece of information.
Manifest.
At the office, I did some work, chatted with my mom, and chilled. Nothing crazy today. Thank God. Around 3, I was ready to go. So I acted restless in front of my boss like I always do when I'm bored. I packed my stuff and started dancing in the living room like I always do. Dani got up and started singing and we performed an lip sync/interpretive dance situation. My boss actually got it on video. That shit was hilarious. All you could see was our silhouettes. I finally realized today that I have a dancer's body. Woot!!!!
On my way to Hot Power Vinyasa Yoga. I'm about to sweat out every stress I have in the world. I'm actually excited to go to yoga and chant. I'm really embracing it. It feels good.
Oh, this song couldn't have come at a better time.

Today was my niece Mariah's 5th birthday.
She is the funniest, smartest, most awesome baby that I've ever had in my life. She is just amazing.
She calls me "Chicken Head" among other funny names. I call her "Jerk Chicken".
We had a party for her at Me and Earl's old Pre-School. Such a walk down memory lane. Literally I haven't been in that building in 20 years. My picture was still on the wall and I look EXACTLY the same.
Of course all the 4-5 year olds gravitated to me. You know Auntie NIA love the kids. There was one lil sweet pea that sat on my lap the entire time. We played and talked about her family and her recent family vacation to Florida. She was nice and polite, petite and precious. I HAVE to remember to bring her the candy I promised her.
Her name was Taryn Marsh.

I. Chant.
Nam-Myo-Ho-Renge-Kyo has gotten me through so many days.
As I embrace this journey of Buddhism, I chant every day, all day. It's helping me to stay calm about situations I can no longer control.
I chant because it keeps me balanced and reminds me that my happiness is imperative and possible.
