"He is absolute Freedom and She is absolute Love.

Love found herself rejected by Freedom and Freedom found himself imprisoned by Love.

And Love without Freedom is attachment and Freedom without Love is escape.

They turned away from each other, both searching for Enlightenment outside their own Shadow and Pain.

And both Love and Freedom felt lonely and they didn’t feel received.

Because Love is nothing without Freedom and Freedom is nowhere without Love.

But Love needs to Dive Deep on her own and Freedom needs to Show Up for himself

To remember the Truth of who they are and connect to their own Sacred Source

And instead of Falling apart, they are Falling together

In Unity."

Appreciate the small things in life. Appreciate the way the sun filters onto someone's face for a split second. Appreciate the half smile of a person who's

sometimes too sad to speak. Appreciate the mouthed thank you's of a person whose heart you've touched. Appreciate the conversations that flow as you sit on your bed, cross legged and facing each other. Appreciate the flash of a camera and the little nod someone gives you when they see something you don't. Appreciate the way they twist their ring around their finger and stare out into the distance. Appreciate the squint of a person who hasn't felt the familiarity of a laugh in so long. Appreciate the feeling of hot pavement on the bare bits of your back that haven't been covered by your shirt. Appreciate the rush as the plane lifts you off the ground and to another place that you fancy a lot more than the place you've grown so accustomed to. Appreciate the way someone throws side glances at every mirror they pass after they get their hair dyed and the resultant small smile. Appreciate the flitting eyes of people who are in love with each other but are too scared to say anything. Appreciate the stare that lasts a split second longer. Appreciate the warmth in the eyes of someone who genuinely cares. Because soon you'll realise that you're made up of tiny, beautiful occurrences.

The beef between Nas and Tupac was a brief but significant conflict that emerged during the mid-1990s, fueled by the larger East Coast vs. West Coast rivalry. After being shot in 1994, Tupac became suspicious of many East Coast artists, including Nas, and believed some of Nas’s lyrics were subtle shots at him. On Tupac’s *The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory*, he dissed Nas on the track "Against All Odds," accusing him of copying his style. The tension culminated in a confrontation at the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards, where the two met in New York’s Central Park. Despite the hostility, they reportedly squashed their beef, with Tupac agreeing to remove the disses from his album, though this never happened due to Tupac’s tragic death shortly afterward. Since then, Nas has expressed respect for Tupac and lamented their unresolved issues, reflecting on the rivalry in later songs like "We Will Survive."

His real name was Frank "Rocky" Fiegel.

He was born in 1868 in Poland and, as a child, immigrated to the United States with his , who settled down in a small town in Illinois.

As a young man, Rocky went to sea. After a 20-year career as a sailor in the Merchant Marines, Fiegel retired. He was later hired by Wiebusch's Tavern in the city of Chester, Illinois as a ‘Bouncer’ to maintain order in the rowdy bar.

.

Rocky quickly developed a reputation for always being involved in fighting ( and usually winning). As a result, he had a deformed eye ("Pop-eye").

He also ‘always’ smoked his pipe, so he always spoke out of one side of his mouth. In his spare time as a Bouncer, Rocky would entertain the customers by regaling them with exciting stories of adventures he claimed to have had over his career as a sailor crossing the ‘Seven Seas.’

The creator of Popeye, Elzie Crisler Segar, grew up in Chester and, as a young man, met Rocky at the tavern and would sit for hours listening to the old sailor’s amazing ‘sea’ stories.’

Years later, Segar became a cartoonist and developed a comic strip called ‘Thimble Theater.’ He honored Fiegel by asking if he could model his new comic strip character, ‘Popeye the Sailor Man,’ after him. Naturally, Fiegel was flattered and agreed.

Segar claimed that ‘Olive Oyl,’ along with other characters, was also loosely based on an actual person. She was Dora Paskel, owner of a small grocery store in Chester. She apparently actually looked much like the Olive Oyl character in his comics.

He claimed she even dressed much the same way..

Through the years, Segar kept in touch with Rocky and always helped him with money; giving him a small percentage of what he earned from his ‘Popeye’ illustrations.

WHO didn't love the cartoons??? We watched them religiously... so funny, so moral... each story had a good ending... Wonder if kids these days even KNOW who Popeye is???

Who knew he was a real man??”

“Deception, flattering, lying, deluding, talking behind the back, putting up a false front, living in borrowed splendor, wearing a mask, hiding behind convention, playing a role for others and for oneself -- in short, a continuous fluttering around the solitary flame of vanity -- is so much the rule and the law among men that there is almost nothing which is less comprehensible than how an honest and pure drive for truth could have arisen among them.”

–Friedrich Nietzsche, On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense (1896)

As we are coming up to the Christmas period, this is your annual reminder to be nice to people working in hospitality, even when they get it wrong.

Working countless hours, eating on your feet, missing out on festivities with friends and family and wearing yourself thin are things all hospitality workers will be familiar with over the next 2 months.

So, if they do get it wrong, and your coffee comes with the wrong syrup.. or they forget to swap your salad for chips, or, God forbid, you order no ice .. and your drink comes with ice, just remember how hard they're working to try and make your experience special.

Be nice. It costs nothing.

You will never understand the hell i feel inside my head.

It’s dark because you are trying too hard.

Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly.

Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply.

Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them.

I was so preposterously serious in those days, such a humorless little prig.

Lightly, lightly – it’s the best advice ever given me.

When it comes to dying even. Nothing ponderous, or portentous, or emphatic.

No rhetoric, no tremolos,

no self conscious persona putting on its celebrated imitation of Christ or Little Nell.

And of course, no theology, no metaphysics.

Just the fact of dying and the fact of the clear light.

So throw away your baggage and go forward.

There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet,

trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair.

That’s why you must walk so lightly.

Lightly my darling,

on tiptoes and no luggage,

not even a sponge bag,

completely unencumbered.

— Aldous Huxley, Island

i didn't love you -

i love you still.

in the present tense.

in the here and now.

in this breath and the next.

you are not gone from my heart

nor will you ever be.

just because this earth no longer holds your body, doesn't mean that our souls are not entwined.

we are mingling every day.

joined at the horizon of this world and the next.

you weren't - you are.

you didn't - you do.

you can never be erased.

"Trust Nobody" - Tupac Shakur ‼️

📸: Beside Tupac is Ayanna Jackson, the woman who accused him of something that devastated his life. On Ayanna's left side is Haitian Jack the person responsible for one of the most challenging moments of Tupac life, the incident and event at Quad studio. Behind him, someone who should have protected him but betrayed him mercilessly, leading him down a difficult path that eventually changed everything. A story filled with disappointment, deep betrayals, and the heavy weight of shattered loyalties.

“They told me my house smelled like dogs, and I asked them:

Do you know what a dog smells like?

A dog smells like gratitude, loyalty, nobility, affection, pure and unconditional love. And despite everything they’ve been through, they don't smell of resentment.

So, I feel blessed that my house smells like dogs."

Patrick Swayze.

"We have all hurt someone tremendously, whether by intent or accident. We have all loved someone tremendously, whether by intent or accident. it is an intrinsic human trait, and a deep responsibility, I think, to be an organ and a blade. But, learning to forgive ourselves and others because we have not chosen wisely is what makes us most human. We make horrible mistakes. It's how we learn. We breathe love. It's how we learn. And it is inevitable."

Félix Revello del Toro, 1965.

She got married at the age of 14, and at the age of 20, she became a single mother. The first female millionaire who made a fortune with her 10 fingers.

She entered the Guinness Book of Records as the first woman to become a millionaire independently, without inherited money.

Sara Breedlove was born in 1867 in the south of the USA, in the state of Louisiana. Her parents, older brothers, and sister were slaves in the cotton fields. But Sara was born free. When she was 7 years old, she lost her parents. After her parents died, she moved in with her sister and her husband.

As a child, Sara worked as a housekeeper and did not have time for schooling. She later shared that she only had 3 months of formal education when she attended Sunday school.

She was only 14 when she married Moses McWilliams. She didn't do it because she loved him. The truth was that her sister's husband was a very violent man, and marriage was the only way for Sara to escape from that family. Four years later, Sarah and Moses had a daughter, Alleluia. Two years later, Sarah's husband dies. So Sara became a single mother and a widow at the age of twenty.

In 1888, Sara moved to St. Louis. Her brothers worked there as barbers. She started working in a laundromat and as a cook to pay for her daughter's education in a public school. Sara earned about $1.50 a day.

Like all the workers in the laundry, Sara got sick from chemicals: skin disease, lack of water, and heating in the house made Sara almost lose her hair. Thanks to her brothers, she learned the basics of hair care. A little later, Sara learns about the Eni Malon series of hair products, and later meets Eni in person. He starts selling her products on the street.

Still working for Malon, Sara, now at the age of 37, moves to Denver with her daughter and begins to think about her own line of cosmetics for African-American women. After many experiments, she succeeds. He starts building his own business.

In 1906, Sara married Charles J. Walker and later became famous under his surname. Charles becomes her business partner: He did advertising and helped his wife with promotion.

Sara went door to door trying to sell her products, but also to teach women how to care for and style their hair.

In the same year, Sara decided to expand her business, so she and her husband traveled around South and East America. Her daughter had grown up and graduated from school, so she helped her mother with all the shipments from Denver.

Two years later, Sara moves to Pittsburgh. The family opens a beauty salon, but also a school that trains people to know everything about hair care so that they can apply Sara's products.

In 1910, Sara moved to Indianapolis, where she opened the headquarters of the company Madam C. J. Walker.

He builds a factory with a laboratory, a hair salon, and a beauty school where he teaches his sales agents. By 1917, Mrs. Walker employed about 20,000 women. Her agents earned from 5 to 15 dollars a day. Sara wanted African-American women to be financially independent, so she encouraged women to open their own businesses and taught them how to handle money.

The richer she became, the more time she spent on charities and giving. She gave lectures, fought against social injustice, and donated money to funds. Before she died, she donated more than 100,000 dollars to the poor and various organizations and social institutions.

In her will, she stated that 2/3 of her future profits should be given to charity.

She died at the age of 51. She was considered the richest African-American woman. When she died, her fortune was thought to be between $500,000 and $1 million. During her lifetime, Sara was not a millionaire, only 2 years after her death, her wealth increased, but while she was alive, she hoped that she would be. And not because she needed the money, but because she wanted to do more good deeds.

Never RE-Friend anyone who tried to DESTROY YOU.

WHO bamboozled you to believe that they loved you while they abused you emotionally, verbally, psychologically, and financially.

🤔 Starting an “AI Autopilot Business” could be a dumb idea...

😮 I mean, is a business where AI creates all the content, all the scripting, the voice, the image, publishing and selling...

📞 Where you don’t have to get on the phone with any clients...

🔒 Where you don’t have to fulfill any work...

🤷‍♀️ That’s “set it and forget it..”

🤔 Is that really going to be fulfilling?

🤔 I mean when AI takes away the need to learn skills and do things like practice your copywriting everyday, work on your on-camera presence, invest in expensive camera equipment...

🤷‍♀️ Is that REALLY going to be a fun business to run when you don’t have to do all these things?

🤔 I mean, what are you supposed to do with your time when you have no meetings on the calendar, nowhere to be and no one to report to?

❓ Can an AI Autopilot Business really be all that great?

😕 You’re going to have to figure out what to do when your friends and family are at work.

🌍 You’re going to have to decide where to live when you can live anywhere.

🤔 You’re going to have to figure out how to entertain yourself while AI does that work for you.

🤯 That sounds like a lot of responsibility...

⚠️ But if you STILL want to check it out after reading this far.

💪 And you think you can handle it.

👀 Come see the 3-step process we’re using to use AI tools to build AI Autopilot Businesses

🚀 Without having to do all the work ourselves, by using little-known AI tools you haven’t even heard of.

😱 Just be aware, your business might grow so fast it will scare you.

💼 And that’s a lot to deal with...

⚠️ You’ve been warned.
