“Fatigue is temporary, but happiness is everlasting” - Author Unknown
Welcome to the latest edition of "However, What the Fuck!"
Due to some complications with our previous newsletter provider, I’ve made an emergency transition to Substack. I hope you'll appreciate this new format and find it enjoyable. Thank you for your continued support!
Life can be exhausting, am I right?
Between work and personal responsibilities, it's easy to feel like you're running on fumes. But don't forget that happiness waits for those who persevere through the fatigue. So whether it's taking a break to catch up on your favorite show or simply enjoying a moment of peace and quiet, don't feel guilty for hitting pause. Just remember that lasting happiness is worth the journey. And who knows, maybe you'll find renewed energy along the way.
During my brief summer hiatus, I'm intentionally slowing down. I’m dedicating time to reading, taking leisurely walks, and embracing life with a brighter smile. I'm discovering true happiness in my purpose, attracting exciting opportunities, and my heart overflows with gratitude.
Let me share what I’ve been up to:
My Reads:
The Creative Act: A Way of Being by Rick Rubin
Three Women by Lisa Taddeo
Black Women Writers at Work edited by Claudia Tate
My Sounds:
Stress Buster Meditation - a 7-day (free for you) meditation challenge
B. Free by Crystal-Senter Brown - a song created by my friend Crystal in my honor 🦄
Sage That Shit - The Afro Lofi Youtube channel is an entire vibe
My Fitness:
I am currently doing the FitOn Fighting Fit workout plan. FitOn, an Apple Fitness/Peloton app competitor, was founded by the great and powerful Halle Berry and it is really the truth. The Fighting Fit workout is a weeklong cardio kickboxing program. I started today, and already I wouldn’t say I like it, but these pounds have got to go.
