Let's Go!

Add caption


Who knew a Sesame Street book and a floetic soul cd would be the inspiration for starting my blog today. 


I was reading Evan a story this morning and here's how the five pages in this tiny provoking board book went:


Big Bird's tricycle can go.
Cookie Monster's dump truck can go.
Zoe's wagon can go.
Bert and the yellow submarine can go.
Grover and the plane go, go, go! Where would you like to go?


After my little nugget sighed, smiled and crawled away contently,
That was the instant I asked myself where would "I" like to go.
I exhaled, regained focus and now here I am.


To all my music lovers, food enthusiasts,fashionistas and aristocrats - this one's for you. 


Stay tuned for all access VEGA insight in the best eats, beats, design, art, exclusive events and I'll even share my celebrity run-ins from time to time(since I seem to have alot of them).Daily service and updates are not promised but I will commit to a weekly indulgence...just for you. 


HERE'S ONE -



As I mentioned earlier, the new Floacist cd is 55 minutes of elevation.To all my music junkies and Neo Soul lovers, this one's a banger.Being one of the few spoken word artists in the mainstream urban market, I think this work of art is a blessing when it comes to inspiring people. I can't help but share the words to her first track BREATHE. It was the second breath I was looking for today and it just may be yours. Enjoy it alone or save it, V-Day is right around the corner ;)

Before I go, I ask, "where do YOU want to go?" Please share.


Signing off,

Breathe by The Floacist 

If You are feeling low 
It is best to expose any thoughts of doubt 
You gotta air out 

Awake 
Your greeting of the day 
With the choices that you make 
Decide what you will leave 
Decide what you will take 

Decision are the key 
To release what you don't need 
If you gonna let it be 
Then 
You have to let it be! 
Be mindful not to keep 
The residue of anything that had you feelin weak 

Like, What was said 
Versus what you think 
Sometimes your own assumptions 
Are the ways that make you sink 

Feeling down 
It can be an addiction 
Getting up 
Can be filled with hesitations 
It takes determination 
To fool proof the distractions 
These attractions are the target on your soul 

Asking you to stay 
When you know you have to go 
Know the things you know 
Is your path just your own 

Lessons will be Lessons 
If you listen to that fear 
Hear your truth 
Keep it near 
& then You just... 

Breathe, 
You gotta let it go 
Let it go 
So U can Grow! 
You gotta let it go 
Let it go 
Just Breathe 

Avoid all this confusion 
Refuse the solution 
If your destiny is not blessed 
But It is your time 

No matter who came before you 
Don't let them wear you down 
With the pain of their past 
Shape your own mind 

It's irrelevant 
If relevance is measured by the elements 
Without baring a reference 
To your own kind 

Earthling 
You mind find that 
We are living in an era 
That can't be defined 

By those 
Who thought that this was the end 
By those 
Who thought that their enemy's would win 
By those 
Who let paranoia turn them inside out 

Do you know what this life is all about? 
Can you remember 
Before anyone taught you 
To feel as if life is never gonna treat you 
Better than the lesser 
But that was in the prequel 
What about now?
