Boozhoo!


As we approach the end of 2023 and the start of a new year, I wanted to share my thoughts. I took some time to reflect—how was this year for me personally?


Well I tell you, it wasn't easy, I think I've had better years. There are certain (financially related) things that press down on me, things that I haven't been able to fix yet. But! However, due to these ongoing challenges, I was compelled to set sail for new horizons.


So, I explored the galaxy and went straight for the hole in the sky, and beyond! I let go of negativity, doubts & fear, opened my heart & mind and allowed it to be filled with miziweshkode—the fire of faraway stars.


But then, as I was exploring what is out there for me, something hit me. A realization.


I came to understand that this fire—which I refer to as cosmic fire—exists not only externally in society or the Galaxy, but also within us. We simply need to acknowledge it and take action with it.


Set yourself a goal and keep working toward it.


Wishing all of you lots of that miziweshkode in the new year!
